....but tastes so right. Lambic beers is what I am pondering, in particular the Kriek (Cherry) and the Framboise (Raspberry) I also like the Gueuze, which has a cidery taste. I haven't yet tried the Peche (peach) style, although if the other two are anything to go by, I reckon on a taste sensation. Even non beer lovers, ie women, go crazy for the insane yumminess of these brews, as witnessed by self, when the Elster, who loathes both beer and cherries, was astonished to find herself falling in love with the taste of fruity ale. Now these are no alcho pops either, they are not diabetes inducing sugary, but both tart and sweet at the same time. There is however one catch. Outside of Belgium and Luxembourg it is eye wateringly expensive. For example, on average a case of twenty kriek bottles runs at around £40. I now of a couple of real ale gaffes that sell it by the pint (although it is supposed to be drunk out of a Champagne style flute) for around £4. So there is only one thing for it. Anyone fancy a beer run to Belgium??
