Oude Kriek produced with handpicked Schaarbeekse krieks (sour cherries).
Oude lambiek is added right before bottling, which makes this beer different from the "Scarenbecca Kriek".

Bottle: Poured a deep red color lambic with a large light red color head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of tart cherry notes with some sour and funky notes is quite enjoyable. Taste is a nice mix of tart cherry notes with some funky ester, some oak and light residual sugar with some cherry pit notes also perceptible. Body is about average for style with good level of carbonation. Typical Hanssens lambic with some light acidity but enjoyable fruit presence.

500ml bottle, shared by GenDv138, thanks Donnie! Poured a very bright red color with a small wispy white head. Aroma was super tart, lots of tart cherry. Thankfully not too acidic, but man, my mouth started to produce so much saliva due to the tartness. Delicious.
