Samuel Smith's Organic Strawberry Ale

"In origin, this sweet-acidic drink was obtained by adding fresh black cherries to a barrel Lambic of 6 months young. The addition of fruits provokes a new fermentation in the oak barrels. After another 8 to 12 months, only peels and stones are left and the Kriek-Lambic is ready to be filtered and bottled. The residual sugar can be adjusted with straight-on fruit juice to start a refermentation in the bottle. This traditional type of fruit beer is more acidic and less fruity. Because of the limited availability of the Schaerbeekse cherries and so to brew a less sour and more fruity Lambic beer, Lindemans farm brewery developed a unique alternative natural method using pure cherry juice from unfrozen cherries. This straight cherry juice is blended with selected Lambic of different ages. Kriek has a pink-red color and a delicious taste of sparkling cherry champagne. Serve cold at 36 °F." —brewer

"Abbey was Ommegang's first beer and was styled after Dubbels produced by Belgian Trappist monks. A deep, rich and malty ale, Abbey uses several Belgian specialty malts and spices resulting in a very aromatic, flavorful beer. Deep burgundy in color, topped by a dense tan head, Abbey Ale is rich on the palate but with a dry finish. Suitable for cellaring, Abbey develops wonderful caramel, fig, and currant notes with age." —brewer

"Brilliant with fine appearance and lasting perlage. Peach-coloured. Distinctly flowery bouquet with scent of mixed berries, mainly currants and wild strawberries. Fresh, with a good acidity, harmonious, delicate and persistent." —winemaker

"Veuve Du Vernay Ice Rose is a beautiful, light pink wine with numerous, fine, sparkling bubbles. On the nose, it is fruity with prominent notes of wild berries. Ice Rose is well-balanced, full-bodied with good fruit and a fine acidic aftertaste which gives a lovely freshness. Serve this well-chilled, or with ice cubes." —winemaker
