Beers similar to Kriek

Kriek·Belgium·6% ABV·One of 8 Krieks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Kriek's tart and sour character. Certified organic sour cherries from Turkey at 200 grams per litre, macerated two to three months in a lambic averaging 20 months. The result is then blended with a one-year lambic, which supplies the sugars for the bottle fermentation. Scarlet in the glass, tart red fruit with a subtle almond note. Fruit character is strongest young; with age the lambic takes over.
