Fruit and Berry Lambic: A History of Succulent Flavor

Lambic is a beer that is produced by spontaneous fermentation. To put it simply, no yeast is specially added to the beverage; the fermentation takes place due to the microorganisms in the environment. And not just any environment is suitable: real lambic is only the one produced in the Senna Valley.

The result is a drink with a unique sour taste and characteristic aroma, which has notes of fruit, wine vinegar, horse blanket, old leather and wet hay. Connoisseurs find this drink very interesting, people who are far from beer experiments - prefer more classical tastes. But there is a variant that will suit both. It is a fruit or berry lambic, which, on the one hand, retains all the main features of the family, and on the other hand, is milder in taste than the classic variety.

What are they like?

Fruit beer was born in Belgium, and there is nothing mysterious or romantic in the history of its birth - simply that local farmers had nowhere to put the excess fruit. Producers added them to the foamy drink and got an interesting result, which modern brewers gladly took up.

Today you can find a variety of fruits and berries in lambic, but the most popular drink in the family is probably Cherry Creek. For its production, berries of a particular variety of tree, necessarily grown in the vicinity of Brussels, are taken. The finished product impresses - with its stunning ruby color, beautiful pink foamy cap, and, of course, a rich complex taste.

You can also find lambic with apples, peaches, blackcurrants, strawberries, raspberries - in short, there are options for every taste.

Separately, it is worth noting such a variety as Gueuze, which is a mixture of young and old lambic. It has a sour, dry taste, which is advantageously shaded by the added fruit and berries.

Faro is another version of fruit lambic, except for the fruit, in which caramel sugar is added. Thanks to this, the drink has a sweetish flavor, in which, in addition to juicy fruit, you can trace interesting woody notes.

In order for the fruit lambic to reveal all the flavors when consumed, it is not necessary to cool it below 4-6 degrees. If the beer has been stored in the refrigerator, take it out and bring it to room temperature before tasting. Pour it exclusively into tulip-shaped glasses or glasses of a tripod. Also note that lambic gives a lot of foam, but you don't need to stand it - the drink is served in this form.
