3 Fonteinen Hommage is the result of macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries and raspberries on young lambic for at least four months, in a proportion of 760 to 800 grams of raspberries and 200 to 240 grams of sour cherries per litre of lambic. This fruit lambic is then blended again with more lambic to obtain a minimum intensity of 35% fruit. Hommage is a bodied raspberry lambic beer, with an intense deep red forest fruit bouquet. This unfiltered and unpasteurised lambic is all-natural with no artificial juices, syrups, or sugars added.

0,75l bottle at home. Bottled 23.06.2017. red color, small white head. smells raspberries, lactic, cherries, leathery, subtle funk, nice smell. full body, soft carbonation. tastes raspberries, cherries, leathery, lactic notes. finishes rather dry and rather sour with notes of raspberries, cherries and lactic notes. way too clean, way too sour. A large bottle is a tough sell.

Poured from 375mL bottle (no 71 - 19/20; bottled 17/06/2020). Cloudy reddish orange with minimal white head. Cherry, very mild raspberry, funk, earth, overall a little bit muted however. Still nice.

No. 71. Not a pop, just a fairly flat looking beer, a bit of murk to it, ruddy colour. Aroma shows the cherry more, and a bit of leather. On the palate, it's got a fairly tart character, lots of fruit, definitely a blend. Surprised that the cherry comes through so much. Dry finish, some leather, touch of bretty. Earthy, austere. Sharper than the usual 3F, so not my ideal.

0,75l bottle at home. deep red color, small pink head. smells of cherries, marzipan, light oxidation, raspberries, funky, grassy, spices. very nice smell. light to medium body, soft carbonation. tastes of cherries, citric, grassy, some raspberries, oak, nutty, marzipan. finishes lightly dry and lightly sour with notes of cherries, marzipan and raspberry notes. yeah, this is lovely, very different from most modern Hommage blends. This is light in ABV, yet still has a lot going for it. Also not the lactic bomb which seems to be more and more common. Raspberries are there, but also not dominating. Great stuff.

Sampled @2022 . Pours a dark orange-red. Taste is mushrooms, mild red fruityness, intense acetic acid - yet still OK. Taste is full, funky, intense complexity. Aged red candy, milder - way milder - acetic acid than expected from the nose. Quite balanced at this point in time. Lovely !

0.375 l bottle from 'Keepin it hoppy', No. 57 18 - 19, bottled in March 2019. Hazy, pale reddish with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, intensely fruity aroma of raspberry, redcurrant, lots of lemon and light wood. Slightly sweet, gently sour, rather fruity taste of raspberry, redcurrant, some lemon, light vinegar and a touch of wood, followed by a medium long, gently tart, moderately funky, quite woody-dry and a bit vinegary finish. Medium body, gently astringent, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very decent Framboise, quite rough and rustic, somewhat vinegary unfortunately. Not as complex as expected, yet rather balanced.
