Kriek - Blend of Primitive Beer matured on sour cherries

𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋⁣⁣

Curating the Vibes is a mature multi-year blend aged on Antelope Hill Orchard Montmorency Cherries. Our selected assemblage of Primitive Beer enjoyed a four-month maceration on whole fruit in stainless steel and was bottled at a weighted average age of 24 months. We specifically selected puncheons from batches that utilized high hopping rates to promote reduced acidification during fruit refermentation and greater depth of flavor.

Blended as a low-acid palette to showcase perfectly ripened Rocky Mountain stone fruit, Curating the Vibes boasts a medley of complex cherry flavors that include baker’s spice, almond, burnt honey, and cherry-adjacent red-fruit flavors reminiscent of strawberry and raspberry. Sweeter and fruit-forward aspects of the bouquet form a rich tapestry that counterbalances a pleasant bitterness, toffee-like malt backbone, and tannic structure. Curating the Vibes is ready for enjoyment now but is designed to age gracefully for many years to come!
