This Zenne y Frontera is a blend of ten different sherry barrels - nine Oloroso barrels and one Amontillado barrel. The Oloroso barrels were more than fourty years old. We filled these with young lambic from four different brews and some with four month-old lambic wort. The weighted average age upon bottling was 21 months. 100% 3 Fonteinen.

Backlog p g a att posten försvunnit vid bytet från Ratebeer. Köpt på Systembolaget och drucken med ölföreningen. Min andra Z&F. Kryddig med mycket fatkaraktär. Komplex och lite utmanande men fantastiskt god

Funkilicious, tons of sherry tangy finish. Upfront gueuze deliciousness. Finish is packing truckloads of tangy sherry.

Bottled@Alex Tasting 2021. Amber hazy colour with a small white head. Aroma is spicy, tart wood and some slight acidity. Flavour is tart and slightly acidic fruitiness with some wood. Pleasantly balanced and highly drinkable.

Sample from bottle @ Pien, Helsinki. Vertical 92-94. Sour, funky and sweetish with some sherry, oak and vinous notes. Quite complex and juicy.

Last beer of 2020, first beer of 2021. Pours cloudy amber to orange with a small creamy off-white head. Medium lacing. Awesome. Aroma is funk, barnyard, less sherry than the blend 94. Taste is wood, funk, soft sherry, green apples and vinegar. Bit sharp but delicious.
Next one please!

Bottle thanks to Anthony. Pours a hazy orange gold with small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is strong funk, barnyard, sherry, oak, apple skin. Slick body, apple skin, oak, sherry, funk, nice tartness, really enjoyed this.
