Malt beverage aged in oak and with cherries added
Kriek ale is a classic among Belgian ales created by adding whole fresh cherries (400 G/L) to a blend of young and old lambic, which provides both seasoning and sparks another fermentation resulting in a product of astonishing complexity. Oud Beersel Oude Kriek ale has no added sugar and contains no artificial flavourings or preservatives. Brewed since 1882.
(from 2014 label)
real cherries ... are slowly absorbed into the Lambic, which develops a fruity character and a ruby red colour. Oud Beersel Oude Kriek contains around 400 grams of cherries per litre, which is the most of its kind.
The authentic production method of Oude Kriek is under European protection.
Shelf life: 20 years
Ingredients: water, 400 g morello cherries/l, barley malt, wheat, hops
