Wild Mind - FBS: Kriek (2018)

Forgotten Barrel Society Third Bottle. Kriek-style beers are known for a great balance of sweet and tart and our first ever release of this classic style does exactly that. Our second Forgotten Barrel Society bottle release, this traditional Belgian sour was blended from a variety of barrel-aged coolship beer that was spontaneously fermented during the fall of 2016. The final blend was carefully crafted to balance the added Montmorency cherries’ acidity and sweet fruit flavor with the funky base. This wild bottle has been more than a year and a half in the making and represents hard work and patience it takes to create the delicate combination of funk, fruit, and tartness. FBS: Kriek highlights the cherries’ sweet, natural acidity alongside a tart base beer, resulting in an easy drinking, inviting lambic-style sour with a crisp, light finish.
