Oud Beersel Bzart Kriekenlambiek

""The 2023 edition of this natural and sparkling sour cherry Lambic beer, born from the meeting of two glorious traditions, the Traditional Method for sparkling wines and spontaneous fermentation for Lambic beers. Oud Beersel cherry lambic is drawn in the bottle with the addition of the liqueur de tirage, which consists of sparkling wine yeast and sugar for secondary fermentation. The beer then ages for fourteen months in the bottle before being finished according to the "traditional method". This process allows the development of fine carbon dioxide which is trapped in the bottle and which makes the Lambic sparkling. The application of riddling and disgorging eliminates the yeasts present in the bottle. No added sugars by adding an expedition liqueur. The result is a BRUT and sparkling fruit lambic beer with an impressive palette of flavors."

Info:: bzart Kriekenlambiek Brut Nature originated from collaboration between Domus Ad Fontes and the brewery ‘Brouwerij Oud Beersel’.Oud Beersel is known for its lambiek (lambic) that is brewed according to the traditional artisan method and Domus Ad Fontes as a winemaker with the oldest vineyard in Belgium where beautiful, sparkling pure brut wines are made.bzart Kriekenlambiek Brut Nature is a sparkling pure brut quality beverage based on ”Kriekenlambiek Oud Beersel” (cherry Lambic of Oud Beersel) which is a craft beer produced according to the traditional rules of the “Méthode Classique”.Cherry Lambic is a Belgian spontaneous fermentation beer made of Lambic to which sour cherries are added.The used “Kriekenlambiek Oud Beersel” is traditionally brewed with real sour cherries and with Lambic Oud Beersel that matured in wooden barrels. It contains some 400 grams of sour cherries a litre which is unique in its kind.This kriekenlambiek is bottled and then the “Méthode Classique” (Classic Method) is applied during several months. This means that after adding sugar and a sparkling wine yeast, the “liqueur de tirage”, this kriekenlambiek is re-fermented. Carbon dioxide develops and is locked in the bottle which causes the kriekenlambiek to become effervescent. Other intrinsical steps, such as the “remuage” (riddling) and the “dégorgement” (disgorging) follow, which eventually lead to a sparkling, refined beverage. It is typical for bzart Kriekenlambiek that no “liqueur d’expédition” (shipment liquor) is applied before adding the cork.This beverage also combines the best of two worlds, the festive character of sparkling wine and the full flavour of artisan brewed kriekenlambiek.Traditionally it is said that women prefer a glass of bubbly as an aperitif while most men rather have a quality beer. In some restaurants they have been searching for years for a beverage that will please both women and men.bzart Kriekenlambiek Brut Nature ends this search beautifully and it is probably the first and only sparkling kriekenlambiek beer in the world.This sparkling kriekenlambiek brut nature has an alcohol percentage of 8 % volume and is poured from bottles that contain 75 cl.The taste and the aftertaste are quite “fraîcheur” (fresh) which make you remember the real ‘kriekentaart’ (sour cherry pie) of the good old days.bzart Kriekenlambiek is a delicious aperitif and perfect to pair with dark chocolate, blue-veined cheese, game and all preparations with almonds.bzart Kriekenlambiek is already mentioned on the menu of renowned restaurants and is distributed by famous beverage merchants.

Description

BZART Kriekenlambiek originates from the merger of two glorious traditions, i.e. the ‘Méthode Traditionnelle’ (traditional method) for sparkling wines and the spontaneous fermentation for Lambic beers. The result is a natural, sparkling cherry lambic of Belgian origin.

Traditional Kriekenlambiek is a spontaneous fermentation beer: Sour cherries are added to the Lambic beer which is the oldest of the still existing Belgian beers that probably originated around the year 1300. The “Kriekenlambiek Oud Beersel” which serves as a basis for the BZART Kriekenlambiek contains 400 g of cherries per litre undergoing fermentation in Lambic beer for six months.

This kriekenambiek is then bottled by adding the “liqueur de tirage” (tirage liqueur) consisting of sparkling wine yeast and sugar for the second fermentation. The beer then ages in bottles for at least nine months before its final maturation according to the “Méthode Traditionnelle”.

Through this process fine carbon dioxide develops, is maintained in the bottle and causes the Lambic beer to become effervescent. By applying “remuage” (riddling) and “dégorgement” (disgorging) the present yeast sediments are removed from the bottle.

A characteristic feature of Bzart Lambiek is that there is no sweetening, so no “liqueur d’expédition” (shipment liquor) is added before corking and applying the muselet onto the bottle. This results in a sparkling BRUT kriekenlambiek with an overwhelming palette of tastes.

Its taste and aftertaste are quite “fraîcheur” (fresh). The nice almond flavours make you remember the real ‘kriekentaart’ (cherry pie) of the good old days. It is a delicious aperitif and perfect to pair with dark chocolate preparations, blue-veined cheese, duck, game and all preparations with almonds. Bzart Kriekenlambiek is mentioned on the menu of renowned restaurants.

Oud Beersel BZART Kriekenlambiek 2019 | 75 cl | ABV: 7.0% BZART Kriekenlambiek is ontstaan uit het samenbrengen van twee glorieuze tradities, de Méthode Traditionnelle voor mousserende wijnen en de spontane gisting voor de lambiekbieren. Het resultaat is een natuurlijk, mousserend kriekenlambiekbier van Belgische origine. Traditionele Kriekenlambiek is een spontaan gistingsbier waarbij aan Lambiek, het oudste van de nog bestaande Belgische bieren dat wellicht ontstaan is rond 1300, echte krieken worden toegevoegd. De ‘Kriekenlambiek Oud Beersel’ die als basis dient voor de BZART Kriekenlambiek bevat 400 gr krieken per liter die gedurende zes maanden gisten op Lambiek. Deze kriekenlambiek wordt op fles getrokken met toevoeging van de ‘liqueur de tirage’ welke bestaat uit schuimwijngist en suiker voor nagisting. Het bier rijpt dan minstens negen maanden op fles alvorens het afgewerkt wordt volgens de ‘Méthode Traditionnelle’. Door dit proces wordt fijn koolzuurgas ontwikkeld dat wordt ingesloten in de fles en de kriekenlambiek mousserend maakt. Door toepassing van de ‘remuage’ en de ‘dégorgement’ worden de aanwezige gisten uit de fles verwijderd.Typisch voor Bzart Kriekenlambiek is dat alvorens de definitieve kurk en muselet aan te brengen op de fles, er geen aanzoeting gebeurt door toevoeging van een ‘liqueur d’expédition’. Dit resulteert in een BRUT mousserend kriekenlambiekbier met een overweldigend smaakpalet. BZART KRIEKENLAMBIEK is zeer ‘fraîcheur’ in smaak en afdronk. De amandeltoetsen doen onder meer herinneringen aan de echte kriekentaart uit de goede oude tijd herleven. Het is een prachtig aperitief en is schitterend bij zwarte chocoladegerechten, bij blauwe schimmelkazen,eend, wild en bereidingen met amandelen.
