Off Trail Kriek in the Barrel 2024″ was successfully blended again this year, and is the first beer since the label renewal. The label design was based on the motif of the previous year in order to evoke the funky, “Off Trail-like” finish from the barrel aging and blending process, which was inherited from previous releases.
Kriek is a Belgian beer style, originally a fruit sour ale made by adding sour cherries to autofermented lambic beer. Our “Kriek in the Barrel” is inspired by the traditional Kriek, but brewed with originality in its production process.
Kriek in the Barrel 2024 is a blend of lacto-fermented red ale juice (lactic acid fermented by kettle souring) and Brettanomyces yeast, fermented and aged for 12 months in red wine oak barrels, with cherry juice added for a secondary in-vessel fermentation. Barrel Aged Sour Ale. It has a complex aroma of funkiness from Brettanomyces, sweet and sour cherries, and caramel from the wood barrels. The flavor is a deep taste with a combination of dazzling acidity and a funkiness like that of a black pepper. The unique aromatic flavors become more apparent as the beer is poured into a glass and the temperature is gradually increased.
Off Trail is a “microbial beer” for a reason.
