Beer with character that is balanced and very fruity.
Schaerbeek cherries originate from the Brussels Region, and up until the 1960s these local sour cherries were used exclusively for blending kriek. Unfortunately, the introduction on the market of pasteurised and sweetened industrial lambics marked the beginning of the end of the cultivation of this superb fruit as brewers of fake lambic switched instead to syrups and artificial flavours. Schaerbeek cherries are very delicate, and the harvest is unpredictable at best. On average, we still manage to acquire one or two tonnes per year from local producers, who are now few and far between.
The lambics we select must have enough character, while still retaining a fruity side. It takes two to three months of soaking to make Kriek Lou Pepe, and due to the very limited supply of fruit available production of this superb beer is limited to a few thousand bottles a year.

Nose: straight funky cherry. Palate: super soft, nice fruit and a very strong funk and sweet finish

Nie rypie tak wisniami jak wiele innych rocznikow czy bitli i jest bardziej wytrawny jak na tak mlody, ale zarazem strasznie faje rzeczy w tle graja, jakies przyprawowe? Taki adfontes wsrod lpk? Wisnie pestkowo skorkowe. Sliczna butla

La noche de mi cumpleaños durante la pandemia COVID-19
Edición 2011
Color granate oscuro con espuma de color rosáceo de duració corta pero más que alguna otra cerveza de este mismo estilo. Aroma con notas a frutos rojos, cerezas maduras y notas a madera. Sabor con una acidez no muy pronunciada, notas dulces procedentes de las cerezas maduras y un contrapunto ligeramente ácido al final con leves matices a barrica. Sensación de cerveza con cuerpo en boca, muy frutal.
