Drie 3 Fonteinen Intense Rood Oude Kriek 6.6% 750m Blend No. 85 ; Season 17/18; Brewed With Cherries
| Description: | History,. Px sherry barrel Kriek. While looking for old sherry barrels, we cannot get lucky all the time. While we will be sourcing barrels directly from bodegas to assure provenance and quality, we had a batch of Pedro Ximenez (px) barrels that was on the peated side (albeit subdued). As a result, we decided not to use them for Zenne y Frontera, but to blend them with other (fruit) lambikken into geuze and fruit blends. This is the first of such blends to be released. Sour cherries were macerated partly on young peated lambik and partly on two-year old straight lambik in a stainless steel tank. We blended with young and three-year old (!) lambik. 55% of the blend is old lambik and the final fruit intensity is 567 grams of sour cherries per litre. 3 Fonteinen Intens Rood, a vigourous Kriek, is the slow and all-natural maceration of whole sour cherries on traditional lambik. No addition of juices, syrups or artificial sweeteners. Unfiltered. Unpasteurised. 7.1% Abv. Tasting NOtes,. |
