Tag: Lambic

Clocking in at a modest 3.5% ABV, the Lindemans Kriek cherry lambic beer offers a delightfully fruity and refreshing experience. This Belgian fruit beer is well-known for its vibrant cherry flavor and balanced sweetness, making its relatively low alcohol content a key feature for easy drinking.

Thousands of years ago, almost all beer was at least a little sour, before modern techniques allowed for more controlled fermentation. This historical practice has evolved, so a common question today is: is there wheat in sour beers? The answer depends entirely on the specific style and method.

In Belgium's Zenne Valley, beer relies on wild microorganisms for its unique fermentation, a tradition dating back centuries. The core difference between lambic and kriek is simple: while all krieks are lambics, not all lambics are krieks, as the latter is a specific type of fruit-infused lambic made with cherries.
