Oud Beersel Oude Kriek is unique of its type in that it contains around 400 grams of cherries per litre of Oude Kriek. Oud Beersel Oude Kriek has no added sugar and contains no artificial flavourings or preservatives. Thus, it is a very fine example of this traditional product.

Alc. 6,5% Vol.
Colour: ruby red
Flagrance: Surprising flagrance of sour cherries and almonds.
Taste: The Oud Beersel Oud Gueuze has a pleasant sourness of Champaign. The real cherries unveil an overwhelming fruitiness and the touch of almonds of the pip completes the joy. The spontaneous re-fermentation marries the cherries with the lambic and form together a pleasant tasting experience.
