| Description: | Blend n° 27 • 20/01/2020 • bottle count: 380 Every summer,
our circle of local owners of Schaarbeekse trees expands a
little – also because we give away a tree or two left and
right. In the summer of 2020, this community reached over
seventy families. Every lot of cherries is also inspected
carefully on colour and ripeness. This is how, last harvest,
we received some highly qualitative cherries, but they
appeared not to be real Schaarbeekse; it held the middle
between a sweet cherry and a smaller sour cherry and had
a dark red skin rather than a deep purple one; probably
Noordkrieken. Anyhow, we put them for more than six
months on a small barrel, before blending and bottling. The
final fruit intensity is at 417 grams of local sour cherries per
litre of local Kriek. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambik.
Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen "Speling van het Lot" (Twist of Fate)
is a series of small batch experimental brews, barrel
maturations, fruit macerations and blends.
