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 Sckaerbeek Sckaerbeekse cherries. Rather, this is because the beer has 210g/l of cherries (35% of the 600L barrel are cherries).
