3 Fonteinen “Intens Rood” (Intense Red) is the result of macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries on lambic for at least six months, in a proportion of one kilogram of fruit per litre of lambic, and is then blended again with more lambic to obtain a minimum intensity of 450 grams of fruit per liter. The kriek lambic ferments in the bottle for at least another six months and develops into an intense wine-like fruit lambic. This bottle fermented, 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!

Sour and fruity, strong ripe black and red cherries, a bit of funk, very juicy. Excellent.

Blend 83 bottled 6/19. Murky red, no head. Brooding sour cherry aroma with almonds, some lemon. Pretty much flat but has a kefir-like plumpness to the texture. Tastes pretty much as it smells with some wood creeping up towards the end. The richness of the cherries goes pretty well with the sourness that's presumably partly the cherries and partly the lambic. A little more magisterial than the oude kriek.

Bottle at home. Bottled 2019. The colour is hazy deep red with a very small light pink head. Aroma of barnyard, oak, hay, some cow dung, apple cider vinegar and cherries. Hint of cinnamon. Flavour of citric acid, red currant, wheat, sweet cherries, grass and vinegar. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a light bitterness. Nice and fresh with lots of cherries.

2016. Tasty redhead, yumyum. Rich dark cherries, massive. Sweet, marzipan, smooth soft sourness. So fruity. Ridiculous.
