It is | Reviews for the De Cam Kriekenlambiek date back as far as 2004, with bottles dating back to 2005. It is 2-year-old lambic blended with cherries. It is distinguished from [[De_Cam_Geuzestekerij_Oude_Kriek_De_Cam|De Cam Oude Kriek]] in that there is no addition of young lambic at bottling to create a secondary fermentation in the bottle and thus, carbonation.

Blender Karel Goddeau has recently noted that he hopes to change this process as more and more people become interested in looking at lambic from a vintage year point | Several label variations exist for this beer including yellow labels as well as red labels.
