Fruit Lambic 5.6 º

Brouwerij van Viven

Viven Cherry Rouge presents a vibrant interplay between the rustic complexity of a Fruit Lambic and the luscious presence of real cherry juice. The sensory experience is defined by a bold, ruby-red profile where bright, tart cherry acidity meets a supportive, underlying funk. Aromas of fermented fruit and subtle farmyard notes lead into a flavor profile that balances the natural sweetness of the cherries against a refreshing, lactic sourness. This medium-light bodied ale offers a crisp finish with a lingering fruit skin tannin, showcasing a sophisticated harmony of sweet and sour elements characteristic of the Brouwerij van Viven house style.

Appearance. Deep ruby to garnet; features a persistent, pink-tinted, mousse-like head with excellent lacing. Clarity is generally clear, though it may show a slight haze from the real cherry juice additions.

Aroma. High intensity dominated by macerated, fermented cherries. Complementary aromas of Brettanomyces funk, including earthy and hay-like notes, are present but secondary. Low malt presence with no hop aroma; faint lactic acidity provides a sharp edge to the fruit profile.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tart, jammy cherry flavor. It transitions into a balanced sweetness that offsets the moderate lactic acidity. Malt flavors are low and wheat-like. No hop bitterness is perceived, following the sub-10 IBU style. The finish is off-dry with a lingering fruit tartness and a touch of fruit-skin tannin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a refreshing, high carbonation level. No significant alcohol warmth. It exhibits a light puckering quality from the acidity without being harshly astringent.
