Beers similar to St-Louis Kriek Lambic

Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck

Lambic·Belgium·4% ABV·One of 24 Lambics in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share St-Louis Kriek Lambic's sour and fruity character. Luc Vanhonsebrouck, the first non-Brussels lambic brewer, went on to create St-Louis as a purely West Flemish beer. This bright red-brown kriek smells of ripe Oblacinska cherries with a hint of almond and subtle wild yeast. The first sip is fresh and fruit-forward, a sweet cherry hit balanced by a light, refreshing sourness; mild effervescence and a smooth finish follow. 4 % ABV.
