Drie Fonteinen Oude Kriek is a traditional Belgian lambic beer produced by Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen, a renowned brewery located in Beersel, Belgium. This beer is a classic example of the kriek style, which involves fermenting lambic with cherries. The brewing process includes spontaneous fermentation, where wild yeasts and bacteria from the Senne Valley contribute to its unique character. The beer is aged in oak barrels, allowing it to develop complex flavors over time. Oude Kriek is known for its deep ruby color and a tart, fruity profile with pronounced cherry notes balanced by a subtle earthiness and a dry finish. With an ABV typically around 6%, it offers a refreshing yet complex drinking experience, making it a perfect accompaniment to rich cheeses or as a standalone treat.
