Hippo Krieck from Brouwerij De Graal in Brakel is a cherry lambic with a fresh, fruity character. This beer emerged from a distinctive brewing approach: a single 2000-litre batch of base beer was finished in multiple ways, resulting in five different fruity variants. The final expression is a kriek with a ruby-red colour that shines best when served around 8 degrees Celsius.

The flavour sits in balance between tartness and sweetness, avoiding extremes on either side. At 6.5% ABV, this kriek delivers approachable drinkability with a creamy head.
