Speling van het Lot IX.iii: Aardbeiiteraties: Bio Aardbei + Kriek - Raw & Uncut

Blend n° 86 • bottling date: 18/10/2018 • bottle count: 582

For this fruit lambik we macerated strawberries (30%) and cherries (70%) separately on two different oak barrels for a couple of few weeks. The fruit lambics were then blended and put on a 400 litre oak barrel for another 6 months of ageing and bottled afterwards. The fruit intensity is 500 grams of fruit per litre of bottled Aardbei + Kriek. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambik.

Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen “Speling van het Lot” (Twist of Fate) is a series of small batch experimental brews, barrel maturations, fruit macerations and/or blends.

This 9th version features a range of strawberry maceration iterations aiming at balancing the intense fruitiness of strawberries with the subtleties of traditional lambik while minimizing the unpleasant phenolic characteristics of the small pits. Show Less
