3 Fonteinen Perzik Geel

Brewery: Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen
Country: Belgium
ABV: 6.7%
Style: Lambic – Fruit
Other Notes: Blend°14, Season 21/22

Brewer Description: (from bottle) As local harvest has been non-existent for the last three summers, we looked farther to find the juiciest of peaches. Hence, for this Perzik, we macerated freshly hand-picked yellow peaches from an organic producer in the north of Spain. We only used two- and three-year old lambics for macerating. Maceration took almost five months. The weighted average age of the peach blend upon bottling is almost 24 months. The final proportion of fruit used is 384 grams per litre of Perzik. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambic.

Intro: A 750ml corked and caged bottle, blend°14, season 21/22, bottled on 5th January 2022. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.
Appearance: A lightly hazy golden orange colour, with a one finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly to a ring around the glass, while leaving only sparse to no lacing.
Aroma: Juicy peach, lemon zest, light wood, and a touch of funk.
Taste: Lightly sour, tart, juicy peach, lime, lemon zest, oak, with some funky notes.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation.
Overall: Really enjoyable with the aroma and flavours full of juicy peaches. Just drinks really easy. Almost as good as the Red Heaven varietal.
