3 Fonteinen Schaarbeekse Kriek is the result of macerating local hand-picked Schaarbeekse cherries on young traditional lambic for at least one year, in a proportion of one kilo of sour cherries per liter of lambic. The cherry lambic is then blended with young lambic and bottles, after which our famous Schaarbeekse Kriek matures for another year at least in the bottle. Refined and with evolution in the glass. Natural fruit, no juice, syrup or sugars added. Unfiltered and unpasteurised.

Dry, earthy and funky with some intense tart dark cherry notes, some sourness and hints of spices. Quite complex and surprisingly dry.

5oz pour at Stillwell. Pours murky red with small white head. Tons of cherries, barnyard must, and leather on the nose. Flavour has barnyard funk, a touch of manure, tart cherries; a bit of woody dryness on the finish. A bit more dialed back in the funk than I was expecting, but still a fantastic, complex beer.

Bottle at Lambik o Droom. Pours a dark ruby with medium pink head that lasts. The aroma is strong cherry skin, oak, funk. Slick body, cherry juice, funky, barnyard, oak, nice acidity, very nice.
Side by side with Boerenerf. This is definitely mellower and nicely balanced. Still a lot of cherry on it, but some more from the barrel and a bit softer
Classic 3F funk, dry tart cherry. Easy drinking, dry finish
