3 Fonteinen - Oude Kriekenlambic

bottled 13/01/2021 best before 26/10/2041

3 Fonteinen (Oude) Kriekenlambik is the result of macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries on young lambic for at least four months, in a proportion of one kilogram of fruit per litre of lambic (and possibly blended with some more young lambic). Fruit intensity ranges from minimum 35% to 50%. Aside some selected bars (e.g. 20th Anniversary of Akkurat in Stockholm, Sweden), this sour cherry lambic is available at given times in the lambik-O-droom.

This is not “any” Oude Kriek, this is Zéér Oude Kriekenlambik. Instead of using one and two year old lambic for laceration and blending, this time they used 36% three-year old lambik (yes, like in more than 36 months) and 58% two-year lambik. These come from 12 different barrels, and 11 different brews. 

this beer is the slow and all-natural mace ration of whole sour cherries on traditional lambik. No addition of juices, syrups, or artificial sweeteners. Unfiltered. Unpasteurized. 
6.6%. 750ML.
