    Both BA and RB have this listed as 6% ABV, but the recent batches all have 5%. Did they change the formula a couple years ago or are the posted ABVs just errors?

    I think I figured it out. The old one was entirely Schaerbeekse, but they stopped brewing that. The new one is a blend of regular oude kriek and Schaerbeekse. I'm pretty sure people have just been throwing their reviews in the old category, but they are surely different beers. Where is a good place to reccomend the old one be retired and a new one started?

    When did they start blending the two?

    Or they still produce the Schaerbeekse Kriek and the Oude Kriek and this is a new beer which is a mixture of cherries with 35% Schaerbeekse cherries mixed in with the other cherries used.

    To get a change made it will go more easily/speedily if you provide them some sort of documentation that the moderators can use to check the facts with.

    On the 3 Fonteinen website, they show all the current beers and the full Schaerbeekse is not listed, only the blended is. I don't know for sure, that was just my thought. I will try to find more info.

    email to Shelton Bros, the Importers, might get a response and a clarification.
