Cantillon Kriek

Cantillon Kriek
From Brasserie Cantillon, 5% abv. Nose is nutty, smoky, light dusty cherry. Fresh and electric, sour bite, acidic, lactic, forward carbonation, not necessarily sweet, but finishes a little sticky. What a jolt! A delicious lambic, for sure!

  1. A perennial favourite for me. It is rather bracing, isn't it? I recently came across another very good, proper Kriek (i.e. not one of the soda-pops that e.g. Lindemans makes) - De Ranke. Have you ever tried it?

  2. Have not tried De Ranke, but thanks for the tip. And, funny you should mention it, right after this, someone opened a Lindemans Peche. Soda-pop is right!
