3 Fonteinen Rabarber

Brewery: Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen
Country: Belgium
ABV: 5%
Style: Lambic – Fruit
Other Notes: Blend°24, Season 20/21

Brewer Description: (from bottle) This Rabarber is the result of a six-month barrel maceration of local rhubarb, of which a small part was sourced with a Halle resident but most comes from De Groentelaar, one of our cereal farmers (and also specialized in organic vegetables, fruits, … and rhubarb). We used two different lambikken from two different barrels, equally split between a young lambik for macerating and a two-year old lambik for blending. The final fruit intensity is at 328 grams of rhubarb per litre of rabarber. 100% 3 Fonteinen. Bottle count: 726.
