About this deal

The finish is mainly sweet although the touches of wood are still discernible. Sweet and sour form a perfect harmony. However, with St. Louis fruit beers, the fruit is maturing on gueuze-lambiek instead of Oud Vlaams Bruin.

Similar to its underlying basic beer Bacchus, the Bacchus Kriekenbier was not designed to be a gastronomic or culinary beer. A traditional kriek made from a lambic base beer is sour and dry as well. The cherries are left in for a period of several months, causing a refermentation of the additional sugar. Typically no sugar will be left so there will be a fruit flavour without sweetness. There will be a further maturation process after the cherries are removed.

Fresh raspberries are added to the beer which will continue to mature before leaving the brewery ...
