About this deal

Similar to the other beers in the Bacchus range, this beer comes in 37,5cl bottles and is enveloped in a paper wrap.

Similar to its underlying basic beer Bacchus, the Bacchus Kriekenbier was not designed to be a gastronomic or culinary beer. Bacchus Kriekenbier is served in the same glass used for Bacchus Oud Vlaams Bruin and Bacchus Frambozenbier. A stylish, vintage-inspired glass that is reminiscent of a gueuze glass. The finish is mainly sweet although the touches of wood are still discernible. Sweet and sour form a perfect harmony. However, Bacchus Kriekenbier is a good table companion and makes a good recipe ingredient, particularly in the preparation of, for example, a banana sorbet containing Bacchus kriekenbier and/or a dark chocolate.Find sources: "Kriek lambic"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( December 2009) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) De Cuvée du Chateau is the crown jewel within the Kasteel range and has been brewed since 2010. It found its inspiration in the subterranean cellars of Ingelmunster Castle. After ten years of maturation, bottles of Kasteel Donke ... As with many other beers, storage conditions play a major role. Cool, dry and dark is always the message.

Similar to its underlying basic beer Bacchus Oud Bruin, this kriekenbier can be stored for a while and will improve. In addition to the four natural basic ingredients: water, malts, hops and yeast, used for the standard Bacchus, the brew is enhanced with kriek cherries (15%), sugar and other sweeteners. Colour & Transparency Kriek lambic is a style of Belgian beer, made by fermenting lambic with sour Morello cherries. [1] [2] Traditionally " Schaarbeekse krieken" (a rare Belgian Morello variety) from the area around Brussels are used. As the Schaarbeek type cherries have become more difficult to find, some brewers have replaced these (partly or completely) with other varieties of sour cherries, sometimes imported. The Bacchus kriekenbier is characteristic for West Flanders which led to its recognition and accreditation as an official regional product.

MENU

Framboise is a related, less traditional Belgian beer, fermented with raspberries instead of sour cherries. Kriek is also related to gueuze, which is not a fruit beer but is also based on refermented lambic beer. Some breweries, like Liefmans, make "kriek" beers based on oud bruin beer instead of lambic.
