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?!

2017 bottle. Thin bod, light carbo. Highish sour, but surprisingly leaning heavily into lacto, with only relatively very light acetic and other acids. Quite citrusy citric feeling, even more so than the med-light barnyard. Interesting development here.

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.

Day 2 - breakfast of champions. Complex fruit notes with a pronounced tart, almost vinegary finish. Thank you for sharing this gem Patrick S.

Day 2 of the share starts out strong! Cloudy a bit in the body, vinegar notes and lots of apricot. Glad to have finally tasted it.

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.

Little cloudy orange blond beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: funky, earthy, lambic notes, brett, woody notes, dusty impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: dry, spicy, dusty, very acidic, lemony, funky and fruity. Aftertaste: spicy, acidic, lemon juice, spicy, very dry, tannins, lemony, zesty, not getting much apricots here? Is 4 years too much?
