The apricots are sourced from environmentally-friendly and sustainable agriculture. The proportion is 300 g of fruit blended with one litre of lambic, and the soaking time is very short. Specifically, it will only take around five weeks for the lambic to extract the fragrances and flavours of the fruit. It is worthwhile to note that Fou’Foune kicks off the bottling season around the end of August. Given its success, Fou’Foune has taken up third place among the fruit beers in terms of volume, behind the traditional kriek and Rosé de Gambrinus.

Bottle, with Brandt (thx!), Gurthnar, Zhenya, and Valhalla folks. Hazy golden body. Ginormous, beautiful apricot and oak in the aroma, some brett. Just lovely, juicy, apricot-driven, mildly woody, low acidity, lightly lactic in a good way, lemony tartness... Oh man... ooooh man... My favorite Cantillon, upgraded. How does it work this well, how?!

Bottled in 09.2009. from R2M (Rome - wine and beer store) My second order in 22.03.2010 Znakomity i bardzo wytrawny i cierpki lambick. Metny o zltym zabarwieniu, glebokim a po dolewce drozdzy z butelki jak zoltko jajka, wogole nieprzeswitujaca ciecz. Kwasowosc mocna i niektorych nowicjuszy moze przytloczyc. Troche przez te cierpkosc trudno sie degustowalo te spora butelke o,75cl. Ale klasa i klasyk zarazem. Aromat morelowo-brzoskwiniowy goruje nad innymi doznaniami. Polecam to kwasne piwo to elegandzkiego objadu w gronie rodziny.

Fresh, bright minerality. Peach and apricot, underripe skin. Still a desert-island beer

75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Autumn Gathering 2025. Misty golden orange, foamy white head. An excellent lambic with a good wild expression, nicely balanced, but getting zero apricots unfortunately.. my quest for a real fou foune continues.

Bouteille 75cl à Belgian Summer Beer Gathering, merci Bart. Bottled 12/08/2021.
Dorée, léger voile, col assez épais et blanc – ce qui n’est pas mal pour ce genre de bière avec déjà qcq années en cave.
Arôme reste assez classique de Cantillon – vieux cellier, funk avec un bouquet abricot présent mais qui s’atténue déjà avec le temps.
Palais reste sur une belle base ‘funk’ auquel vient s’ajouter un côté finement aigre de la macération des abricots – la douceur originale d’un brassin frais s’estompe et laisse tout de même place à une teneur en bouche qui présente pas mal de notes aigres.

Bottle shared by Thomas W, thanks.
Huge, semi lastning white head. Opaque golden color.
Complex aroma with both apricot, lactic acidity and light brettanomyces.
A firm lactic acidity without bitterness.
