Finished in an oak foeder for 7 months, this Oude Kriek is characterised by intense fruitiness. The world-famous Danish Stevnsbaer cherries are clearly dominant, supported by touches of almond, vanilla and some oak. The Stevnsbaer cherries are ideal for a mellow Oude Kriek.

Frederiksdal Oude Kriek is the latest entry in our long-running collaboration with the Geuze geniuses, Brouwerij Boon.

The beer had its conception during Wild Ale Celebration back in 2019, where
Mikkel, Karel and Frank discussed the possibility of making the next
collaborative beer with fruit.
Usually Brouwerij Boon uses the legendary Schaarbeekse cherries for their Kriek or a
cherry sort similar. But this time around Mikkel convinced them to try and
experiment with Frederiksdal cherries from the 2020 harvest.

The beers consist of 70%-80% cherry juice and 30%-20% of Boon’s lambic, which they
normally use for their kriek base. Both versions of the beer spend 6 months in
an oak foeder before half of it was transferred into small red wine barrels.

Spontanales & White Fish

Funky, bretty, lightly sour and vinous. Spontanales are a great alternative to a white wine. They pair greatly with asparagus and white fish. Spontanales while having a very distinct taste are light and don’t overpower any dish. They are great beers to share and let sit in the glass to develop over time. Thus, opt for spontanales when you are not in a rush.

Spontanale

Just like the sour ale, spontanale is the term that Mikkeller uses when brewing beers using the same method of spontaneous fermentation that is traditionally used in lambic. Since lambic is a regional specialty though, anyone brewing it outside of the Pajottenland has to call it something else.
