Description
3 Fonteinen Oude Kriek is a traditional kriek lambic released annually in several batches by the brewery. It is produced by macerating cherries, including the pits, in young lambic. After bottling, it is stored in a warm room for at least four months to help with secondary fermentation in the bottle.[1] Oude Kriek is released in 375ml and 750ml bottles and was previously labeled as 6% ABV, though older labels show that it was once listed at 5% ABV. Currently, the ABV varies from blend to blend.
History / Other Notes
The brewery has been bottling their Oude Kriek since at least the 1990s, with a variety of labels documented below. After the Thermostat Incident, which essentially cooked over 80,000 bottles of lambic causing some of them to explode, an unspecified number of Oude Kriek bottles survived. These were bottled on March 31, 2009, and became known as "Hot Cherry" bottles when they began to circulate in the beer community. A special bottling of Oude Kriek called Oude Kriek Toast is listed here as a variant of the Oude Kriek and at the request of the brewery.
