Single Barrel Amontillado Geuze
This Zenne y Frontera is a blend of two year-old lambic coming off one single Amontillado barrel (85% of the blend) and three different young lambics (15% of the blend), with the aim of creating an Oude Geuze with the refined aroma of Amontillado and sherry casks. This turned out to be a powerful “Sherry Armand & Gaston”. 100% 3 Fonteinen. Only 774 bottles produced (minus the ones we tasted ourselves).
NL 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 jarige en oudere authentieke Oloroso, Amontillado en/of Pedro Ximé-nez sherryvaten. Zenne y Frontera is de perfecte symbiose van enkele koppige karakters, vele wilde ideeën, immens fijne aroma’s en twee mooie streken!EN 3 Fonteinen Zenne y Frontera is a unique creation of Armand Debelder and maître-sommelier Andy De Brouwer.

Thick deep rustic gueuze notes swimming in stonefruit notes, lacy lemon and citrus, medium high carb to fit the delicate body. Delicious. Almost a nutty citrus note from the sherry barrel. Now I wish I had some sherry.

Bottle @ Indy Man Beer Fest, Manchester. Pours cloudy orange with a small creamy white head. Sherry, wood, funk and sesame seeds. Vinous sherry lingering with a dry funky finish. Dope.

Pours dark blonde. Biggest foam ( most stability) of the new serie. Not much sherry int he scent. Funky, oaky. Taste is sharp, highly carbonated. Lemon tartness. Full on sour. Least pronounced sherry of all the zenne's to date.
