Ommegang Super Kriek. Blend No. 003. A blend of Flemish Oud Bruin Ale and Belgian Amber Ale with cherries and natural flavors. 2020.
7% ABV, brewed and bottled by Brewery Liefmans, Oudenaatde, Belgium, imported and bottled by Brewery Ommegang, Cooperstown, New York.
And here’s one I’ve been sitting on for too long. Maybe since 2020? Time to drink up. already.
Deep reddish hue, clear, slim white head.
In the nose: cherries and tart from the start, malty and brown below. Deep complexities abound.
In the mouth: crisp and clean, funky and fruity. Growing sourness. Flowering fruit. Ripening cherries. Alternatively sweet and sour. Oaky. Ancient and refreshing at once. I did not err in aging this.
A d Belgian Kriek Ale and American Wild Ale
An unlikely alliance of freshness and funk, this Blenderie Ommegang release combines pure Belgian kriek with barrel-aged American wild ale. Bright cherries, assertive sourness, oaky tannins and barnyard notes make Super Kriek a deeply layered, richly complex, and distinctive beer.
