Lindemans Kriek Cherry Lambic Beer (750ml)

Lindemans Kriek Cherry Lambic Ale (750ml)

Short History

Lindemans Kriek is a celebrated example of a traditional Belgian fruit Lambic. The foundation of this ale is a classic Lambic, a wheat beer brewed using spontaneous fermentation—relying on wild yeasts unique to Belgium’s Zenne Valley, a method perfected over centuries. This young Lambic is then blended with fresh, whole sour Morello cherries (Kriek in Flemish) and aged in oak barrels. The resulting re-fermentation imparts a brilliant ruby color, a sharp effervescence, and an authentic, deeply refreshing cherry flavor that has secured its status as a global favorite.
