== Description ==
3 Fonteinen Schaerbeekse Kriek is a special Oude Kriek bottling made exclusively with young lambic and wild Belgian Schaerbeekse cherries. The lambic and cherries are aged together for four months before bottling. Though [http://www.3fonteinen.be/proef/oude-schaarbeekse-kriek.html 3 Fonteinen's] official website lists the ABV as 8%, all labels read 6%. Schaerbeekse Kriek is bottled in 75cl bottles and is available both in Europe and North America.
In Europe, the labels read "Oude Kriek van Sckaerbeekse Krieken - 35%". This is not an indication that only 35% of the cherries were Sckaerbeekse cherries. Rather, this is because the beer has 210g/l of cherries (35% of the 600L barrel are cherries).
== History / Other Notes ==
The brewery notes on their website that the production of this beer is often driven by the amount of Schaerbeekse cherries that can be sourced from local residents during the growing season. The Schaerbeek Schaerbeekse Kriek cherries come from a tree that grows in the wild which is becoming increasingly scarce.<ref name=3F Schaerbeekse Kriek>http://www.3fonteinen.be/proef/oude-schaarbeekse-kriek.html - 3 Fonteinen Schaerbeekse Kriek </ref>
