Season 2019-2020. Assemblage #74. Bottled on 02/09/2020. "For this Schaarbeekse Kriek, we macerated locally grown and manually harvested sour cherries for almost fourteen months in wooden barrels, with both one-year and two-year old lambik. The final fruit intensity is about 350 grams of Schaarbeekse per litre of finished Schaarbeekse Kriek. The average age of this beer upon release will be around two-and-a-half years. 100% 3 Fonteinen."

Season 2020-2021, Assemblage #15. Bottled 13/01/21."This is not “any” Oude Kriek, this is Zéér Oude Kriekenlambik. Instead of using one- and two-year old lambik for maceration and blending, this time we used 36% three-year old lambik (yes, like in more than thirty-six months) and 58% two-year old lambik.
The lambikken come from twelve different barrels and eleven different brews. This blend consists of 60% 3 Fonteinen lambik. The final fruit is at 340 grams of sour cherries per litre of this Oude Kriek."

Season 2019-2020. Assemblage #79. Bottled on 07/10/2020. "While looking for old sherry barrels, we cannot get lucky all the time. While we will be sourcing barrels directly from bodegas to assure provenance and quality, we had a batch of Pedro Ximenez (PX) barrels that was on the peated side (albeit subdued). As a result, we decided not to use them for Zenne y Frontera, but to blend them with other (fruit) lambikken into geuze and fruit blends. This is the first of such blends to be released. Sour cherries were macerated partly on young peated lambik and partly on two-year old straight lambik in a stainless steel tank. We blended with young and three-year old (!) lambik. 55% of the blend is old lambik and the final fruit intensity is 567 grams of sour cherries per litre."

Season 2019-2020 Assemblage #81. Bottled on 15/10/2020. "For this Oude Kriek, we macerated sour cherries for almost nine months on two-year old lambik. We blended with some jonge lambik before bottling. The final fruit intensity amounts up to 375 grams of sour cherries per litre of Oude Kriek. With more than a year of bottle conditioning, the weighted average age of this blend will range around 30 months upon release. While blending, we added some local honey. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambik."

"Our Old style Kriek is a marvel of pure craftmanship. Made with 100% home grown organic cherries, straight from the Pajottenland, the surrounding area which we call home. The entire cherries are fermented in oaken barrels in lambic beer of at least one year old. After six months this transforms into Old Kriek with about 400 grams of cherries per liter of beer. Because of the second fermentation in the bottle, which carbonates the beer, you obtain a delicately soft taste and the distinctive foam head. A true delight for all senses with an harmonious balance between sweet and sour."

Season 2020-2021, Assemblage #83. Bottled 12/10/2021."This kriekenlambik is the result of a maceration of sour cherries for more than eight months on young lambik, afterwards blended with some more soft lambik to balance it all out. We aimed for a kriekenlambik (so remaining flat). We used lambikken from three different barrels and eight different brews. The weighted average age of the kriekenlambik upon bottling was 24 months. The final fruit intensity is 337 grams of sour cherries per litre of kriekenlambik. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambik."

"In 2022 we macerated Gorsem cherries on 2 year old lambic and barrel aged it after 6 months of maceration for another year. In 2023 we did the same; maceration of Gorsem cherries on 2 year old lambic for 6 months. We blended these 2 cherry lambics together and added fresh tarragon herb to them."

"Blend of lambic macerated with organic cherries and cider. The fruit is blended with lambic then macerated for months. After this, the lambic matures further on barrel. The final blend with cider is done just before bottling."

Pack Containing 2 bottles from Pellicle: Collision: Gelber Muskatelle ("TThis beer is a blend of 1 & 2 year old lambics and our very first self brewed beer from 2,5 years old. It was macerated on Gelber Muskateller grapes from Nahe, Germany and blended with 30% of wine made from the same grapes. Aged on ex-Bordeaux barrels.") and Intertwined: Gelber Muskateller ("Blend of red wine barrel aged ciders macerated on unpressed Gelber Muskateller grapes from Nahe, Germany.")

"Beer of spontaneous fermentation, the Oude Kriek de Schaerbeek Tilquin à l'ancienne is made from the fermentation of 320 g of Schaerbeek cherries by liter of lambic. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, this beer is refermented in the bottle"

"An intense Kriek made from three varieties, macerated with young and old lambics. This surprising blend underwent an extended maturation of seven months in Bourbon whiskey barrels, enhancing the depth of the Kriek."

" A harmonious blend of our kriek lambic and Pinot Noir wine, made with grapes from Alsace and aged in oak barrels. The expression of Pinot Noir has inspired us for years. With this bottle, we dance between two traditions."

"A vinous Kriek crafted from three varieties, macerated with young and old lambics. After maceration, this traditional Kriek underwent extended aging in ex-Amarone, Ripasso, and Recioto wine barrels from the Valpolicella wine region."

"Blend of young lambic macerated with cherries, matured in Bourbon whiskey barrels and cherrywine, infused with Bourbon vanille. A mixture of three varieties of organically grown cherries. After tasting, we decided to bottle/keg this blend pure, without refermentation. In this way we preserve the vinous character."

""The 2023 edition of this natural and sparkling sour cherry Lambic beer, born from the meeting of two glorious traditions, the Traditional Method for sparkling wines and spontaneous fermentation for Lambic beers. Oud Beersel cherry lambic is drawn in the bottle with the addition of the liqueur de tirage, which consists of sparkling wine yeast and sugar for secondary fermentation. The beer then ages for fourteen months in the bottle before being finished according to the "traditional method". This process allows the development of fine carbon dioxide which is trapped in the bottle and which makes the Lambic sparkling. The application of riddling and disgorging eliminates the yeasts present in the bottle. No added sugars by adding an expedition liqueur. The result is a BRUT and sparkling fruit lambic beer with an impressive palette of flavors."

"First-time release. Instead of ' regular' Lambic, Grape Lambic (Lambic matured on Furmint and Harslevelu grapes) was used as the base for this beer. Otherwise, the same steps were followed as for the Bzart 2023, i.e. addition of 'liqueur de tirage', then 'remuage' and 'dégorgement', and no addition of 'liqueur d'expédition'."
