Changes

Lou Pepe Kriek is part of Cantillon's Lou Pepe series which is bottled on a regular basis. The series also contains the [[Cantillon_Lou_Pepe_-_Framboise|Lou Pepe Framboise]] and [[Cantillon_Lou_Pepe_Gueuze|Lou Pepe Gueuze]]. Lou Pepe Kriek is made from two year old lambic that has been aged exclusively in used Bordeaux barrels. Whereas Cantillon's [[Cantillon_Kriek_100%25_Lambic|Kriek 100% Lambic]] and [[Cantillon_Rosé_De_Gambrinus|Rosé de Gambrinus]] lambics contain 200g of frozen fruit per liter, the Lou Pepe fruited beers contain about 300g of fresh fruit per liter.<ref name=“CantillonLouPepe”>http://www.cantillon.be/br/3_109 Cantillon - Lou Pepe</ref> The cherries used for Lou Pepe Kriek are often Belgian Schaerbeekse cherries, a local sour Morello cherry, but that is not always the case if the harvest is low. To carbonate the beer, a small amount of sweet liquor is added after bottling causing the refermentation in the bottle.
