Detailed Description

In late summer, whole cherries (of the Schaerbeek variety, as tradition dictates) are poured, pits and all, into casks of lambic that have aged for a year and a half - two summers, according to the lambic brewer's calendar. The fruit dissolves and ferments in the cask for four to five months. In that time, even the pits begin to dissolve, lending a slight nutty flavor to the lambic in the cask. The cherry-flavored lambic is blended with old and new lambic to make beer with a strong, sour cherry flavor and bright red color. 5.0%abv.
