3 Fonteinen Robijn is the result of macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries on lambic in a toasted oak barrel, for at least four months and in a proportion of one kilogram of fruit per litre of lambic. This sour cherry lambic is then blended with more lambic to obtain a minimum intensity of 35% fruit. The kriek lambic ferments in the bottle for at least another five months, and develops into a more complex Oude Kriek. This unfiltered and unpasteurised lambic is all-natural with no artificial juices, syrups, or sugars added. Bottle fermented, unfiltered and unpasteurised.

(Bottle) Ruby red colour with brief, frothy head. Fruity nose with notes of ripe cherries, red fruit, almonds and barnyard. Fruity, tart taste with sour cherries, red fruit, oak wood, citrus, barnyard, almonds and funky yeast. Low bitterness. Medium body, dry. Rich and tasty with lots of ripe cherries and a fresh acidity. Very nice.

Dark red body, with a medium, fluffy, slightly pink head. Beatufiul aroma with lots of rustic barnyard funk, sweet-sour cherries, some leather. Tastes also beautiful, quite similar, while with more cherries. Medium, a bit creamy mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes complex, funky, moderate vinous, quite dry, with cherries. Amazing stuff, deep and complex, with so much rustic funk, beautiful cherries and an elegant vinous character. Got better with ever sip, the best Kriek I've had in a while! Score: 9 / 4 / 9 / 4 / 17
