For this classical version of Zenne y Frontera, we blended eight different small sherry barrels, having contained over seventeen different brews. The jonge lambik was left for more than one and two years on these barrels, rendering the weighted average age of the blend on the moment of bottling to more than 32 months. We primarily selected Oloroso casks, and a few of Palo Cortado. More than a third of the selected lambikken were brewed with Pajottenland-sourced cereals.

Orange, moderate hazy body, with a small head.
Aroma of stone fruits, moderate funk, moderate sherry, citrus, wood. Tastes lovely, with more sherry, some curry.
Medium mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes medium acidic, fruity, citric, wooden, a bit funky, with lingering sherry.
Lovely sherry notes, especially in the taste, while still with lots of fruity and funky notes noticeable. Characterful and very well balanced, while not among my favourite Zennes.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma has subtle but complex sherry barrels, gentle funk, and a touch of acidity. Flavour is dominated by the sherry barrels, with moderate tartness emanating from the barrels, gentle funk, citric notes, and a touch of earthy leather. That’s quite the sherry expression. Very good.

Аромат очень сбалансированный, легкое сено, есть цитрусовые нотки, хлев но не яркий, совсем немного фруктов. Вкус такой же, сено, дерево, немного цитурсов и яблочки и персиков. Очень хороший баланс, хоть и не самый яркий по глубине. Пил на фесте.
