3 Fonteinen Schaarbeekse Kriek no. 41 seizoen 16/17 2017 - 75 CL

bottle date 19/07/2017. This Schaarbeekse Kriek has macerated for exactly 365 days. The fruit intensity is 45% (so 450 grams of fruit per liter of finished Schaarbeekse Kriek). During the continued fermentation of these wild cherries, the brewers lost about 300 liters of fruit lambic. 3 Fonteinen Oude Kriek 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. The kriek lambic is then blended again with more young lambic to obtain a minimum intensity of 35% fruit, and is bottled immediately afterwards. These bottles are then stored in our cellars for at least five months so that the kriek lambic can develop into a beautiful, traditional, and refined Oude Kriek. With a pleasant tartness and organic notes of almond and cinnamon as it warms in the glass, 3 Fonteinen Oude Kriek, will age perfectly but may lose some of the vibrant red colours and forest fruit aromas. This unfiltered and unpasteurised lambic is all-natural with no artificial juices, syrups, or sugars added. Traditional Lambic is living, cultural heritage rooted in the Zenne valley!
