Cherry Kiss

Two Chefs Brewing
Netherlands·Fruited Sour
Tap to rate

A bright, tart kiss first, then a second wave of ripe, juicy cherries, with a proper sour kick and enough smoothness to stay easy to drink. Cherry Kiss is a 7.1% double cherry sour, made with 150 g/L of purée from sour cherries and real fruit from the first kiss to the last, served cool at 5 °C. It is a single batch, so very limited edition.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant sour cherry notes, ripe and jammy, layered beneath a bright tartness that cuts through cleanly. Subtle fermentation esters add a light fruity complexity without any oxidative or vinegary edges. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with the cherry purée defining the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with an immediate tart punch, followed quickly by waves of juicy, ripe cherry character that feels substantial yet refreshing. The 7.1% ABV and moderate acidity work in concert to deliver both structure and drinkability, while residual fruit sweetness balances the sour attack without cloying. Bitterness is minimal (10 IBU), allowing cherry and tartness to remain in the foreground throughout.
