3 Fonteinen Hommage

Brewed by 3 Fonteinen
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Beersel, Belgium

Bottle, from the BSF at the GBBF. An unclear but shiny cherry red, rough off-white head that settles away quickly. First layer of aroma is heavily wool; lemon, dandelions and pepper follow, then a prickly dry earthiness. It’s not until several sniffs in that the berries register. But then there they are, in a really interesting way. To my nose, its half the leather- tart underipe spring berries, half the noble rot berries of late season. Lovely mouthfiling lemon sourness, filled out with earth and leather. The raspberry character is here too, but a bit coy amid all the other flavors. There is a softness to the palate and a flavor that seems to suggest fruit, without actually being fruity. (If that makes any sense at all.) This is a delicously brash youngster. I can’t help but wondering what a few years will do...

750ml bottle thanks to my man Dough77..... oured a pomegranate raspberry red with a thin and quickly disappearing off-white head. not sure why i gave it a 3 but that’s what my notes say..... aroma of light cheese accented by red fruit. an abundance of raspberried filled the air.... a sharp, crisp raspberry/cherry flavors run wild and intermingled well with the funky cheesiness that provided that nice quality that i like in a lambic.....i hope to try this again one of these days.

Bottle shared at Toronado 22nd Anniversary, damn expensive but worth it. Tart berry aroma with mild sweetness and some funk. Flavor really incredible and long-lasting, tart yet slightly sweet raspberry and cherry, maybe some other berries, and wood. Palate awesomely dry and sharp. An awesome fruit lambic overall, one of the best I’ve tried yet.

Pretty much like the others say. This one is nice. The raspberry flavor is not sour at all.
Too much to add, too little to say :)

This is a great 07 bottle thanks to ygtbsm94! Bright hazy red with orange tinge with thin white head. Loads of raspberries, very juicy, cherries, oak barrels, barnyard funk, leather, sour, bread, and musty hops. Complex and tasty. Not for the faint of heart however.

One of the many, "Drewbeerme is back and is a badass for sharing so many awesome Belgium (and... uh hem... German) beers" tasting with Holdenn and me. Murky dark red with small pink head, oh it looks good. Sour geuze aroma dominates, with a secondary aroma of raspberries. Dirty raspberry flavor, earthy, sour sweet, quite delicous. Thin, tangy body. Oh so good, raspberry is dangerously strong.

HogTownHarrys bottle, shared with great gusto with Harry and Blankboy. App: Cherry red, zero head, no visible carbonation. Aroma: SEXY! In fact, I had to censor this rating a little as I got a bit excited (I referred to hookers turned into ladies a la ’Pretty Woman’) Anyhow: Flavour: Sour cherry, bitter and sweet, like drinking a cherry cola whilst on LSD - simply superb.
