Batch 6. Beginning of 2017, we acquired a second set of 21 Oloroso and 7 PX barrels and aged young lambic on them for another year. We lost 4 barrels along the way and we blended 12 barrels for this blend and 12 barrels for batch 5 (blend 49). Average age of over 2,5 years upon release, no backblending. 100% 3 Fonteinen lambic.
3 Fonteinen Zenne y Frontera is een unieke creatie van Armand Debelder en maître-sommelier Andy De Brouwer. Dit natuurlijke millésime bier is een assemblage van jonge traditionele lambikken die verder gerust hebben op veertig jaar oude authentieke Oloroso en Pedro Ximénez sherryvaten. Zenne y Frontera is de perfecte symbiose van enkele koppige karakters, vele wilde ideeën, immens fijne aroma’s en twee mooie streken.

Bottle shared in London - big thanks to Dan. Pours unclear orange-gold with a creamy white head. Lovely peach, nectarine, moderate funk, pale wood, nips of grassy medium bodied with delicate carbonation. Clean, quenching finish, more tangy citrus, lemon, peach. Superb.

Taste comprises damp wood, funk, vinous, green berry must, sherry twang, earthy, barnyard tones, apricot, manure, pissy twang.

750ml bottle @ Pien, Helsinki. Dry, vinous and funky yeasty with hints of sherry, oak, gueuze sourness, wood and earthiness. A lot more dry and sour than batch 5. Still nicely balanced and complex.

Tart, funky, dry, as expected. Some lemon (not Pledge) and something cidery. Acidic and musty. There's a lot going on here.

Bottled at Pressklubben, Stockholm. Hazy golden, no head - just a touch darker than Batch 5. Intense barnyard aroma, some oak. Acetic with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel, low carbonation. Oaky port meets citrus, citric acid and barnyard. Complex and intense. World class deluxe!

Wildly complex, brighter on the nose than 49, way deeper in flavor and less acidic. The decanting helps a lot.
