3 Fonteinen “Intens Rood” (Intense Red) is the result of macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries on lambic for at least six months, in a proportion of one kilogram of fruit per litre of lambic, and is then blended again with more lambic to obtain a minimum intensity of 450 grams of fruit per liter. The kriek lambic ferments in the bottle for at least another six months and develops into an intense wine-like fruit lambic. This bottle fermented, unfiltered and unpasteurised lambic is all-natural with no artificial juices, syrups, or sugars added. Traditional Lambic is living, cultural heritage rooted in the Zenne valley!

Blend 83 bottled 6/19. Murky red, no head. Brooding sour cherry aroma with almonds, some lemon. Pretty much flat but has a kefir-like plumpness to the texture. Tastes pretty much as it smells with some wood creeping up towards the end. The richness of the cherries goes pretty well with the sourness that's presumably partly the cherries and partly the lambic. A little more magisterial than the oude kriek.

2016. Tasty redhead, yumyum. Rich dark cherries, massive. Sweet, marzipan, smooth soft sourness. So fruity. Ridiculous.

Bottle at lockdown 2.0 tasting. Very deep ruby with dark pink head. Massive cherries, cinnamon, almonds, dry funk, light berries. Super fruity! Cherry pie. Medium sour and very soft sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with sparkly carbonation. Really good.

Yesterday. Amazingly fruity even after all these years with some pleasant funk starting to develop.
