St. Louis Premium Kriek

In the case of Fruit Lambics, whole fruits are traditionally added after spontaneous fermentation has started. Kriek (cherries), Framboise (raspberries), Pêche (peach) and Cassis (black currant) are common fruits, all producing subtle to intense fruit characters respectively. Once the fruit is added, the beer is subjected to additional maturation before bottling. Malt and hop characters are generally low to allow the fruit to consumer the palate. Alcohol content tends to be low. Premium Kriek is a beer made from traditional Gueuze Lambic, to which 25 per cent of fresh black cherry juice and natural sugar is added. A clear, dark red beer is obtained with a pink head. With an alcohol content of only 3.2 per cent and its fruity character, this is a beer which is a tempting tipple, when drunk young or old. The elegantly-shaped glass reinforces the image and symbolizes the natural charm of this full-bodied Kriek (a cherry beer).
