Commercial Description:
Our take on the traditional old style or oud Kriek but with an added twist of fresh pommegranites added as well as sour cherries to the fermentation. Fermented in an American Oak white wine barrel for 1 year.

Noogfest ’08, thanks beerguy101. The body was hazy copper. The aroma was tart with cherries. A little bit of vineous character. The taste was tart with some bread crust. There was also a little bit of lemons. Not a great version, bu the effort is appreciated.

At Noogfest Four-O. Pours opaque orange with small beige head. The aroma is funk, mild cherry, and slight sweat. The flavor is tart, but with smooth sourness, a hint of cherry, and a nice dark earthiness. A little more cherry comes through in the aftertaste. This is quite good.

Pours a hazy amber. This is pleasantly tart and has a modest fruit side instead of overkill. Nice.
