Description
De Cam Geuzestekerij Kriekenlambiek De Cam, also referred to as De Cam Kriek Lambiek, is a lambic blended with cherries. It is available in both 37,5cl and 75cl bottles as well as on draught and is listed as 6.5% ABV.
History / Other Notes
Reviews for the De Cam Kriekenlambiek date back as far as 2004, with bottles dating back to 2005. It is two year old lambic blended with cherries. It is distinguished from 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.
