Introducing the Bacchus Kriek Belgian Fruit Beer, an exquisite fusion of sophistication and fruity allure! Brewed with the finest cherries that money can buy, I am a captivating ruby-red hued Flanders Ale with the fragrant aroma of small, dark and ripe cherries. With me, you'll experience the perfect harmony of sweet and sour in a glass.
As a unique offering in the realm of fruit beers, I stand apart. Based on the Bacchus Flemish Old Brown Ale, I transcend the typical Lambic base, infusing the sweetness and sourness of cherries with hints of caramel and rich red wine. The first sip should reveal a mildly but intriguingly sour taste, which quickly gives way to a pronounced sweetness, accompanied by delicate notes of wood and nuts. As you savor each sip, you'll be delighted by the lingering touches of the oak wood that my brew matured in, enveloped in rich, jammy flavours.
Crafted with indulgence in mind, I am lovingly hand-wrapped and presented in a champagne bottle, a symbol of the refined experience that awaits. Similarly to the Bacchus Frambozenbier, I can be stored for a while and will improve with age. So come now, unleash your senses and embrace the enchantment of Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck's craftsmanship!
Van Honsebrouck Brewery started in 1811 with its namesake, Amandus Van Honsebrouck, who was the mayor of the village of Werken. Today, the brewery remains a family-owned business, with Xavier - the 5th generation Van Honsebrouck - taking the reins. With a rich history and a knack of creating successful beers, Van Honsebrouck now has a diverse range of award-winning and impeccably delicious Belgian ales, including popular brands like Bacchus and Kasteel.
