Beer Description

Foedre aged kriek, with the cherries replaced by blackberries. 10 months in foedre and a further two aging on blackberries lends an auburn hue, vibrant fruit, and tannic, seedlike profile.

Fox in the Snow is our foedre aged kriek. This year we wanted to change things up a little replacing cherries with blackberries. (Does that make it a blackberry kriek? Not really sure of the nomenclature) Whatever you call it, 10 months in foedre and a further two aging on blackberries lends an auburn hue, vibrant fruit, and tannic, seedlike profile. Pleasantly in tandem is a wild complexity, balanced acidity and round, deep vinous notes from the foedre itself. We’ve been sitting on these bottles as they condition for a while but now that we’re all inside for the foreseeable future it seems like a good time to think about the outside and honor of these wily, untamed forest princes.
