Kriek·Belgium·One of 23 Krieks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Schaarbeekse Kriek's fruity and tart character. A tart cherry character from small, intense Schaarbeekse sour cherries, hand-picked by more than 100 local families and left to macerate in lambic for a full year at around 400 grams of fruit per litre. Armand Debelder released a full Schaarbeekse Kriek again in 2003, and the team has since set up its own organic wild cherry orchard. Unfiltered and unpasteurised, it matures further in the bottle.
