Description
Lindemans Oude Kriek Cuvée René is a traditional oude kriek produced regularly and released in 75cl bottles. It is 7% ABV according to Lindemans' official website, though some older labels will list it as 5% ABV. Whole cherries are fermented in a lambic that is at least six months old, in large 10,000-litre oak foudres. After six months, it is bottled. [1]
