== 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 Schaerbeekse Kriek as 8% ABV, it is labeled as 6% ABV. Schaerbeekse Kriek is bottled in 75cl 750ml 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 35% of the cherries in the beer are Sckaerbeekse cherries. Rather, this is because the beer has 210g/l of cherries (35% of the 600L barrel are cherries).
== Unsubstantiated Stories ==
There are unconfirmed reports that newer batches of Schaerbeekse Kriek will start being released in 37,5cl 375ml bottles. As of February 2015, this has not yet happened.
