Kriek

A 0.0% Belgian cherry beer brewed with concentrated cherry juice, tart and properly fruity with a light wheat base and a crisp acidic finish.

About This Drink

Force Majeure Kriek is built around sour cherries in the Belgian tradition: genuinely tart rather than sweet and cherry-flavoured. The beer uses concentrated cherry juice alongside barley and wheat malt, and it pours a deep cherry red with a light pink foam. The nose is direct: tart red cherries with a faint almond note and soft wheat behind it. On the palate it is light-bodied and spritzy, with sour cherry sharpness balanced by gentle malt sweetness. Citric acidity sharpens the finish and leaves a clean, tart close. At 8 kcal per 100ml it is one of the lighter options in the range. Best served cold, either as an aperitif or alongside sharp cheeses and chocolate desserts.
