A beer with a tart red fruit flavor and subtle almond notes.
Kriek will be at its fruitiest when enjoyed young. Aging allows the Lambic to fully express itself, sometimes at the expense of the fruitiness.

Kriek will be most fruity when enjoyed young. Age allows the Lambic to fully express itself, at the expense of the fruit.
Our certified organic sour cherries come to us from Türkiye.
The fruits are blended with a Lambic aged on average 20 months, at a rate of 200g of fruit per liter. Since morello cherries are a powerful fruit, we need to choose a Lambic with enough character to harmonize with the fruit.
After a maceration of two to three months, the Lambic will have extracted colors, aromas and flavors from the morello cherries.
It will then be blended with a one-year-old Lambic, which will provide the sugars necessary for the second fermentation in the bottle.
We work exclusively with fresh fruit, and just like wine, Cantillon beers have a vintage effect.The weather plays a major role in the ripeness and quality of the fruit, which is why a fruit beer will vary slightly from year to year.

Rating = 6.5 glasses
20251118 Bottled date = 20240716. What a difference a year in the bottle makes. A fantastic tart beer with a solid but not overbearing cherry backbone.
Rating = 7 glasses
202508 Bottled date = 20250127. Too sweet and too much cherry for my taste. I felt like I was drinking a fruit drink.
