3 Fonteinen Frambozenlambik

Brewery: Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen
Country: Belgium
ABV: 5.7%
Style: Lambic – Fruit
Other Notes: Blend°22, Season 19/20

Brewer Description: (from bottle) For this small batch Frambozenlambik, we used raspberries from Ferme Framboos, located in beautiful Huldenberg, Flanders. These raspberries, hand-picked in the summer of 2019, macerated for three months on stainless steel. While macerating, we only used lambik originating from one brew and from one barrel; no lambik was added prior to bottling. The final fruit intensity is still 371 grams of raspberries per litre of Frambozenlambik.
