De Cam Kriek has a ruby red colour with a tiny head. Aromas of vinegar, sweet cherries, sweeter oak, funk and some tartness as well. The taste is acidic and very tart with notes of cherry, vinegar, stable and some eatable 'multivitamins'. Pretty laid back Kriek which is more subtle in terms of fruitiness (due to the age) - but still a very solid and interesting Kriek!

Nocturne is a spontaneously fermented full malt beer. Not your typical lambik beer, but our take on a Vlaams Oud Bruin. The beer was brewed with five different barley malts, from pilsner malt to dark roasted malts, and no wheat whatsoever.

This batch was brewed in April 2019 with more lighter malt, and put on oak barrels for three years before we blended it with a small portion of freshly brewed Nocturne. The weighted average age of this beer upon bottling is 33 months.

For this Pruim, we used the old plum variety Belle De Louvain, hand-picked in Limburg, Belgium.

Maceration took almost four months and the lambics for both maceration and blending originate from six different barrels and thirteen different brews, of which the oldest brewed end of October 2018. The weighted average age of this fruit blend is almost 22 months.

The final proportion of fruit used is 385 grams of plums per litre of Pruim. Almost half of the cereals used originate from the Pajottenland. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambic.

This Pruim features the Mirabelle, sourced at Hoenshof in Limburg.

We macerated the entire plums for almost five months with two young lambikken from three different barrels. We blended with some more young lambik right before bottling. The final fruit intensity is 518 grams of Mirabelle plums per litre of Pruim. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambik.

For this Perzik, we macerated German grown vineyard peaches (weinbergpfirsich) on two- and three-year old lambics.

Maceration took a full four months, before blending with more two-year old lambics. This brings the weighted average age of this fruit blend to 26 months upon bottling. The lambics used in this blend originate from not less than five different barrels and fourteen different brews, of which the oldest was brewed in November 2018.

The peaches were manually picked in the Mosel region in Germany, in between the steep hilled vineyards. The final fruit intensity clocks at 362 grams of vineyard peaches used per litre of finished Wijnbergperzik.

6.5% ABV

For this Perzik, we macerated red O?Henry peaches for almost five months in two-, three- and four-year old lambics. And we blended with even more four-year old lambics. This makes the weighed average of the complete blend clock in at almost 34 months upon bottling.

The final fruit proportion is 390 grams of fresh peaches per litre of finished Rode Perzik.

Tuverbol is a blend of Loterbol Blond ? a blond beer from the Diest-based brewery of the same name ? and 3 Fonteinen's own lambic. Created for the first time in 2005, Tuverbol has been an annual recurring winter beer since 2017. Tuverbol has a unique taste profile thanks to the combination of the freshness of the lambic, the warmth of the alcohol and the full body of the blond beer.

For this Druif, we used Dornfelder grapes from Wijndomein Hoenshof in Hoepertingen, Haspengouw region, Flanders. Dornfelder is a dark-skinned variety, originally from Germany. We co-fermented lambic with freshly-pressed-shortly-skin-macerated Dornfelder grape juice in an oak foeder. We let it sit for four months and blended the grape lambic with some fresh lambic wort for the ?prise de mousse? in the bottle. The final fruit intensity is 51,7% of grape juice per litre of Druif Dornfelder.

3 Fonteinen ?Intens Rood? (Intense Red) is the result of macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries on lambic for at least six months, in a proportion of one kilogram of fruit per litre of lambic, and is then blended again with more lambic to obtain a minimum intensity of 450 grams of fruit per liter. The kriek lambic ferments in the bottle for at least another six months and develops into an intense wine-like fruit lambic. This bottle fermented, 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!

The Golden Blend is one of only a rare few blends that contains 4 year old beer, this older beer gives considerable depth and complexity to the beer, and paired with the slightly nutty, and fruity oxidized notes of the Sherry barrel this blend is sure to stand out. Will continue to develop in the cellar for years (or decades) to come.
