Liefmans, one of the cult breweries of Belgium since 1679, have been producing beers of distinctive flavour derived from a process of mixed fermentation in open vessels, a blending of young and old beers and bottle-aging in the cellars at the Oudenaarde Brewery.
Cuvee Brut is made using a completely different method from Kriek Lambic, it is a combination of aged brown beer which is mixed with fresh, whole cherries and, after 12 months, is blended with Oud Bruin and Goudenband of diffrrent ages. The result is a well balanced, sweet and sour kriek of great complexity.
