Commercial Description:

For this Druif, we used Muscat Bleu grapes from Wijndomein Hoenshof in Hoepertingen, Haspengouw region, Flanders. Muscat Bleu is a hybrid wine and table grape and has its origins in Switzerland. We macerated the grape must with four different lambics from two different barrels. We let it macerate for five months and blended the grape lambic with another three young lambics prior to bottling. The final fruit intensity is 38.1% of grape must per litre of Druif Muscat Bleu. 100% 3 Fonteinen.

De finale fruitintensiteit is 38,1% druivenmost per liter Druif Muscat Bleu. 100% 3 Fonteinen.

This Golden Blend has been blended with lambikken from four different barrels and seven different brews. Three quarters of this blend consists of lambikken brewed by us. The oldest lambik was brewed in early 2016. As we have increased the average age of both the barrel room lambikken as well as the geuze bottle conditioning over the last three years, this blend resonates with Golden Blends 37 and 44, created in the same period.

Lambic - Kriek | 5.6% ABV 

Commercial Description: 

Oude Kriek 3 Fonteinen is produced by ripening of cherries (both the flesh and the seeds) in young Lambic. This process takes between 6 to 8 months. After bottling the beer matures for at least 4 months in a warm room where the spontaneous fermentation in the bottle is done.
The head of Oude Kriek is very sensitive to the concentration of the cherry seeds containing oil and may differ from one year to the other.
On old Cherry 3 Fonteinen, no flavorings, sweeteners, or dyes added which makes this beer very natural and is especially thirst quenching.
