Kriek lambic

[1][2] Traditionally "Schaarbeekse krieken" (a rare Belgian Morello variety) from the area around Brussels are used.

Traditionally, kriek is made by breweries in and around Brussels using lambic beer to which sour cherries (with the pits) are added.

[4] A traditional kriek made from a lambic base beer is sour and dry as well.

some lambic brewers have added sugar to the final product of their fruit beers, in order to make them less intense and more approachable to a wider audience.

[5] Framboise is a related, less traditional Belgian beer, fermented with raspberries instead of sour cherries.
