The label indicates that these are Kellery cherriesLambic.Info cannot find any reference defining Kellery cherries including if they are a type of Morello sour cherry.  Kellery cherries are also described <ref name=CantillonKriek>Cantillon Kriek 100% Lambic, http://www.cantillon.be/br/3_102</ref> as the cherries used in [[Cantillon Kriek 100% Lambic|Cantillon Kriek]] which would imply that Kellery cherries are what are produced in Turkey.  However, the label also says that this beer was produced in Belgium, which would indicate that these are Schaerbeekse cherries rather than Kellery cherries.
