Onze Oude Kriek is een pareltje van pure ambacht. Gemaakt met 100% zelf gekweekte biologische krieken, recht uit het hart van het Pajottenland. Deze worden integraal vergist op eiken vaten op lambik van minstens 1 jaar oud. Om na zes maanden te transformeren naar kriekenlambik met 400 gram krieken per liter bier. De nagisting op fles bezorgt dit fruitbier zijn kenmerkende schuimkraag en zachte pareling. Een waar genot met een uitgesproken balans tussen zoet en zuur.

Weicher, überraschend mild säuerlicher Beginn. Weich, wenig Kirschen, insgesamt macht das Bier einen wässrigen Eindruck. Spritzig, eher kurzer Abgang, ok. 9/8/8/8/10/8

Pours a deep and dark red, with a fairly small pinkwhite head of medium stability (high stability for the style) . Scent is intense, cherry indeed, stems and all. milder lambic funk in the back, but the oak is also fairly prominent here. Full cherry character, reminding of schaarbeekse almost , but without the almond part. Shame I haven't kept one to do these side by side. Taste is sharp, tart, full-on-cherry with a mild lambic funk in the back. Easy acidity, not at all overly intense, even taking a more 'backside' aproach behind the cherry. Mild aroma's from the lambic, and not nearly as oaky as expected. On to the cherry part, than. Very fruity, also not very pronounced on the stems / pits. Not sure what variety they used, but it seems more complex and full than the standard chery used in comparable beers. Easy drinkable due to medium low carbo, and medium low acidity, yet delivers enough aroma to make it worth sipping, too. One of the berrer non schaarbeekse cherries for sure, with a special focuss on balance rather than amazement. Mild vanilla-like finish due to the wood (or cherry, or combo?) . Not bad at all ! Don't remember the pricetag on this one, but if it's priced like a everyday cherrylambic, this has great potential.

Bottle. Clear deep ruby. Yoghurt, cheesy, sweet cherries, wheat, quite some dusty herbs, soft lemons, red currants. It needs a little time to open up and become less dusty. Medium sweetz a bit less sour. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Quite unique, not amazing but fun to try.

Dun, droog, niet vervelend zuur, houterig, vervlakt vrij snel, maar voor in de zon is het verder prima te doen
