3 Fonteinen Oude Kriek is the result of macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries on young lambic for at least four months, in a proportion of one kilogram of fruit per litre of lambic. The kriek lambic is then blended again with more young lambic to obtain a minimum intensity of 35% fruit, and is bottled immediately afterwards. These bottles are then stored in our cellars for at least five months so that the kriek lambic can develop into a beautiful, traditional, and refined Oude Kriek. With a pleasant tartness and organic notes of almond and cinnamon as it warms in the glass, 3 Fonteinen Oude Kriek, will age perfectly but may lose some of the vibrant red colours and forest fruit aromas. This unfiltered and unpasteurised lambic is all-natural with no artificial juices, syrups, or sugars added. Traditional Lambic is living, cultural heritage rooted in the Zenne valley!

0,75l bottle at home. Bottled 26.11.2020. deep red color, small white head. smells funky, cherry notes, cherry pits, earthy, grassy. nice to very nice smell. full body, soft carbonation. tastes citric, salty, cherry notes, peppery, grassy, earthy. finishes dry, salty and lightly sour with notes of salt, citrus and peppery notes. I rather like this one, but it tastes rather heavily salted. Not sure if that is just my perception, or its actually a thing. Definitly takes away from the usual 3f lactic fruit sourness.

C&C 375 mL bottle from the Beer Trappe, 5/10/23. Good to try this especially considering a variant of their kriek is probably the best beer I've ever had. Almost murky red brown, large tan head, poor retention. Aroma of strong funk, earth, pepper, oak, mushroom, dry and tart cherry. Taste is funk, earth, oak, horseblanket, dry cherry, lemon, herbal. Stong tartness. Very nice.

Bottled 27/06/19, green bottle. Pretty loud pop, pours bright red, fine white bubbles. Smells deep funky, rich meaty cherry, a bit savory. Light carbonation, slight pucker. Taste is medium sour, dry. Some oak, plenty of funk. Cherries are powerful. Nice.
