Newer labels include "Oogst" (harvest). Older labels exclude "Oogst."

3 Fonteinen Schaarbeekse Kriek is the result of macerating local hand-picked Schaarbeekse cherries on young traditional lambic for at least one year, in a proportion of one kilo of sour cherries per liter of lambic. The cherry lambic is then blended with young lambic and bottles, after which our famous Schaarbeekse Kriek matures for another year at least in the bottle. Refined and with evolution in the glass. Natural fruit, no juice, syrup or sugars added. Unfiltered and unpasteurised.

Pours a nice cherry color with a slight head and lacing
Aroma has very generous cheery hints
The taste follows the nose with a pleasantly tart cherry flavor
A light bodied well carbonated beer
A great very well balanced Lambic

This is a great fruited lambic for those who like it sour. The combination of the tart schaarbeekse variety of cherries on top of the already tart 3F lambic base make for an experience that for me veered somewhat into acetic territory. Very clean, however, which was nice
