About The Beer

Country: Belgium

Brewery: Brouwerij De Ranke

Style: Sour/Wild Ale

Format: 750ml Bottle

ABV: 7%

Kriek de Rank is real Belgian sour ale fermented with cherries and then blended with real lambic. It is unfiltered and unpasterized. The de Rank brewery was founded by two good friends; Nino Bacelle & Guido Devose. To them, brewing is a weekend hobby, not an occupation. For a few hours every week they make small batches of what many consider the best specialty beers. Their beers are robust and flavourful. They use the best Hallertau and brewer's Gold varieties of hops.

Good example of a Kriek

Having sampled many Kriek in Belgium, this stacks up to them. Tarty, loads of cherry. Great beer

De Ranke rarely disappoint

De Ranke's original blending venture fused 70% Belgian Sour Cherry Ale with 30% Lambic (Girardin?) to produce a Kriekenbier far superior to some of the fruit juice and lambic drinks produced by traditional lambic brewers. Morello cherry-like character harmonises with hints of tannins and a hop bitterness reminiscent of Cuvée René - De Ranke rarely disappoint.
