Description

3 Fonteinen Kriekenlambik is an unblended kriek lambic that has not undergone secondary fermentation. Kriekenlambic served at the Café is sweetened according to a recipe developed by Gaston, using a sugar syrup that Armand makes himself. While this only adds minimal sweetness, it does create a beer that cannot age. After five to six days, the beer becomes acetic.[1]

History / Other Notes

3 Fonteinen Kriekenlambik is not considered to be commercially available in bottles and is most often served on draught at the 3 Fonteinen Café and at the brewery. Most of 3 Fonteinen's Kriek is sold this way. It has also been served at various festivals and gatherings. The cherries used for this Kriekenlambik are of Polish origin provided by Boon.
