Lucky Rasputin meets Malina 2018 - 75 CL

A Kriek from 2018 with autumn raspberries and rhubarb. Our first barrel-aged kriek (2018) is blended with a kriek from 2019 that has been in barrel for a year. This cherry lambic mix was then macerated with autumn raspberries. Here the brewers have added a third type of acid (oxalic acid), which comes from rhubarb. Oxalic acid is present in large quantities in the leaves that the brewers do not use, the rhubarb stem contains only a low dose of this acid. By combining 3 different varieties, the brewers were able to achieve good results. This in addition to the fruit acids of the raspberries & cherries. The acids of the old lambic also ensure a diversity of the acid palette. The blend is certainly not extremely acidic in terms of mouthfeel, as you might expect from the explanation. This is partly due to the use of a soft lambic. The name of this blend comes from the magician Rasputin, who certainly experimented with oxalic acid in his time. Malina he meets is Russian for raspberry, which masks the danger with a seductive aroma.
