History / Other Notes
The process to make Aardbei / Kriek is that of a double maceration. First, organic strawberries from Ferme Framboos were added to the lambic to macerate in the barrel for a period of time followed by cherries after the initial strawberry maceration had finished. The first commercial release of Aardbei / Kriek came in March of 2020 after it was moved out of Twist of Fate series following five different experiments of strawberry and cherry macerations.
