Brewer Description: (from bottle) For this Speling van het Lot, we blended a rhubarb lambik with a sour cherry lambik in a 43-57 cut. Maceration periods amounted up to five and ten months respectively. The combined final fruit intensity is 523 grams of fruit per litre of finished Rabarber + Kriek. The rhubarb was sourced with a local Hallenaar (inhabitant of Halle) and with De Groentelaar, an organic farm and member of our cereal circle of Pajot and Brabant farmers. We bottled this blend without adding any additional lambik. 100% 3 Fonteinen.

Intro: A 750ml corked and caged bottle, blend°8, season 20/21, bottled on 5th January 2021. Bottle number 730 of 875. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.
Appearance: A lightly hazy ruby red colour, with a half finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly, while leaving only sparse lacing.
Aroma: Cherry, berry yoghurt, whipped cream, oak, with notes of apple peel, and light earthy rhubarb.
Taste: Lightly sour, tart, cherry, cream, vanilla, oak, with a splash of rhubarb and citrusy lemon zest.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with soft to moderate carbonation.
Overall: Very nice aroma and flavours. While the rhubarb was there, cherry clearly dominated, and did no wrong as it was very enjoyable.
