Adding fruit to beer is both
classic and classy, and Cherri Cherri Lady Ale is just that. Reminiscent
of a Kir Royal, this mildly acidic, effervescent ale is refreshingly tart with
a finish of lingering cherry reverberations. A few vanilla beans and 12 kg/hl
of cherry juice in the kettle give the foam a reddish hue and the bouquet a
redolent note of wild berries. The taste is harmoniously balanced by a subdued
maltiness from a mash mostly of pale ale malt and a portion of pale wheat malt.
Callista, a hop variety that contributes aromas of stone fruit, red grapefruit,
and raspberries, adds the underlying, gentle bitterness.
This ale can be enjoyed by itself as a dessert drink,
or as a companion to creamy panna cotta, cheesecake, or an arugula salad with
goat cheese.
