Kriek Lambiek De Cam, also referred to as De Cam Kriekenlambiek, is a lambic blended with cherries. It is available in both 375 mL and 750 mL bottles as well as on draught and is labeled 6.5% ABV. Schaerbeekse cherries from Karel Goddeau's family's farms are used when available, however Polish cherries provided by [[Brouwerij Boon|Frank Boon]] are used when they are not available. | |||
==History / Other Notes== | |||
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. De Cam Kriekenlambiek is flat. | |||
Several label variations exist for this beer including yellow labels as well as red labels. Recent labels for De Cam Krieklambiek often have a bottle date of 2009, but these dates cannot be taken as fact in the case of placing a vintage on these bottles. Due to the cost of printing labels and De Cam being a very small geuzestekerij, labels are often reused for bottlings until they run out and a new batch is printed. 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 of view. | |||

< | Kriek Lambiek is flat due to the bottle fermentation being limited. This is done to maximize the fruit aromas and flavors. Cherry lambic is made by fermenting young lambic with a certain amount of sour cherries. The sour cherries, Prunus Cerasus L., are added whole with pit into the beer. The content of sour cherries is about 40kg per 100 L of kriek. | ||
This cherry lambic is spontaneously fermented in the bottle, is not pasteurized, and unsweetened. | |||
