Wallonian Saison with cherries.

Ceréjhe is the word used to designate cherries in Wallonian dialect. A delicate blend of saison (spring barley, Wallonian Winter barley, spelt & wheat) fermented with our own strain, 1 year old lambic and cherries. The cherries come from the lovely lands of our friends Sandra and Stephane next to the beautiful Mont Ventoux. The cherries underwent a 7 months long fermentation at cold temperature and were left intact (no pressing) during the entire process to allow the aromas to slowly diffuse into the beer.

The maceration was then back blended with the base saison to reach a balance between the saison, the lambic and the cherries. Not meant to be a cherry bomb, we hope that you'll enjoy the delicate notes of these beautiful fruits, coming from an outstanding terroir.

An authentic farmhouse beer, Brewed in our 800 years old farm.

A 750ml white waxed bottle, the Etre Gourmet blend, 2021 harvest, with a best before date of 7th April 2025. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.

Appearance: A very nice lightly hazy ruby red colour with a one finger slightly pinkish head, with good retention and nice lacing.

Aroma: Sweet candied cherries, raspberry, strawberry, with light notes of wood and funk.

Taste: Much like the aroma, sour, tart, candied cherries, raspberry, strawberry, red fruit jelly, and wood.

Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation.

Overall: Easy drinking, nice and refreshing.
