Oude Kriek is a blend of aged Lambic with the addition of \u003cstrong\u003echerries\u003c\/strong\u003e: as is often the case with fruit Lambics, it is produced by mixing one, two, and three-year-old Lambic. The fruit is typically added at mid-maturation, and the yeast with the bacteria ferment all the sugars from the fruit — the result is a sour, complex, and deeply fruity beer, where the cherry merges with the wild structure of the Lambic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oude Kriek (Spontaneously Fermented Kriek)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cherries\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend of 1, 2, and 3-year-old Lambic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spontaneous with refermentation on the fruit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Glass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flute or chalice\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hanssens Artisanaal — Pajottenland, Belgium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSensory Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, it is fruity and wild: the \u003cstrong\u003echerries\u003c\/strong\u003e dominate with their characteristic acidity, on a funky and earthy base typical of Pajottenland Lambic.
