Love can be sweet, bitter and sour simultaneously and seemingly forever. Here’s to more than friendship, evolving emotions, and desire. Adventure thrills and deepens. Forever unbounded, then suddenly faded. The highs last as long as the sun shines, gone as soon as the evening falls. What once was, never returns. With each sip, questions linger, but new answers do not appear. And again, and again but then different again. What if the extraordinary becomes the normal?
Krieken, Belgian Cherry beer, traditionally with Schaerbeek cherries and immersed in mostly young lambics. A natural process pur sang full of fermentation and years of maturation. Delivers complex layers of characteristic flavours and aromas. Sour, tart and slightly sweet. Fruit, oak and earthiness. You either love them or they overwhelm you. Ranke, Lindemans and Boon make the real thing, far removed from the modern, commercial varieties.
Cherrie beers are the perfect partners for classic lave cake. The fresh acidity of a cherry and the deep, sweet flavors of the cake go super well together.
