Commercial Description:
FRIS & FRUITIG MORELLEN LAMBIEK BORDEAUX BARREL Fruit Lambic – 5,6% vol. Each flavour component plays so beautifully off each other that it is like watching a well done stage play. A pair of characters would present themselves on your palate and trip delicately around your senses.With each unveiling, new complexity was found and a new sensation. Subtle, refined, delicate, nuanced.

Bottle from Bierkoning. Bold caramel body with thin murky head. Sour nose of cherry and notes of apples. Taste is very sour up front, with bold cherry flavours. Then gets bitter in the finish. Not for me. Drainpour.

Aroma and character strikingly like Crombe Oud Kriekenbier. Not as outrageous as that beer in its heyday though. For me the original Crombe OK was the best fruit beer ever, and to its credit, this is well on the way there. Perhaps future barrels could be kicked about a bit more and given a bit more wet dog and oxidation.

Bottle from Bierkoning. Nice white head, and very cloudy dark red body. Aroma is lactic and cherrry (duh) hint of wood, rasberry or cherrypit. Dark cherry flavor, again the cherrypit taste. Dusty, no aggressive sourness. The non aged version had a beautiful champagne-like carbonation. Miss that here, it’s more thick and less sparkling. Overall a very nice experiment and a decent, although not extreme/nerdy lambic.

Sampled at DØE Beerfestival 2009, Valby. Pours a reddish beer with almost no head. The aroma is cherry. The flavor is fruits, light acidity and crisp. The palate is fresh and dry. Overall a good lambic.

Tap at Copenhagen Beerfestival 09. Hazy reddish color, short head. Aroma of cherry, sourish. Still quite sweet taste. Nice soft. Hint of strawberry. Decent stuff.
