Lindemans Kriek

The Lindemans family never does anything the way other people do. Lindemans Kriek is a good example of that.

In order to obtain a beer like no other, the family has been adding whole sour cherries to our lambic for generations.

Meeting with American importer, Charles Finkel, in the 1970s revolutionized the fruit beer segment. Charles convinced us to export our old kriek to the United States by boat. What we had not thought of is that the movement of the waves would reactivate the fermentation process and cause the corks to pop during the trip. It was like something out of The Adventures of Tintin. To prevent that from happening, we therefore developed an alternative production method for our kriek. We use fresh, not from concentrate, unsweetened cherry filtrate which we blend with lambic that is at least one year old before fermenting & macerating for up to 3 days and pasteurizing the whole batch. So the corks don't pop.

Due to the use of filtrate and pasteurization, this kriek is sweeter and fruitier than Oude Kriek Cuvée René, which undergoes a second fermentation process in the bottle. Thanks to its innovative flavor, it was a resounding success both here in Belgium as well as around the world. ABV: 3.5%

COLOR
Red, slightly cloudy

TASTE
Deliciously fruity with the fresh flavor of freshly picked cherries. Its sharp and full-bodied flavor gives way to a perfect balance between sweet and sour.
