This fruit lambik is a blend of 85% strawberry lambik and 15% sour cherry lambik. After the maceration, the fruit lambik has been blended with some young lambik and bottled. The total fruit intensity is still 62%, i.e. 620 grams of fruit per litre of bottled fruit lambik.

“Twist of Fate” is a series of small batch experimental brews, barrel maturations, fruit macerations and/or blends. It allows us to enter the wild lambik playground in our own way.

The 7th iteration features a range of fruit macerations on freshly emptied Bordeaux barrels from Château Pabus. These high-quality French oak barrels were used for a unique integrated vinification technique, including grape peel maceration in the barrel itself. The name (“Zotte Kadeeën” - “Crazy Kids”) refers to the abundant creativity of our youthful, passionate team, that likes to explore within the traditional lambik boundaries. Show Less
