3 Fonteinen Perzik Rood

Brewery: Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen
Country: Belgium
ABV: 6.2%
Style: Lambic – Fruit
Other Notes: Blend°20, Season 21/22

Brewer Description: (from bottle) 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 weighted 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.
