Description
3 Fonteinen Framboos is a lambic blended with raspberries from the Pajottenland. It is bottled in 750ml bottles and was labeled as 6% ABV until the 2018 release. As of 2018, exact ABV is reported on the label and varies from batch to batch.
History / Other Notes
3 Fonteinen Framboos has been released sporadically by the brewery since at least 1990. Bottles of the 1990 Framboos were sold at De Heeren van Liedekercke as recently as 2014. According to Armand Debelder, batches of Framboos were produced throughout the 90s for consumption in the restaurant and never officially released for sale. These bottles were not labelled, but marked with the traditional pink chalk mark, indicating a Framboos. The most recent major release of Framboos was bottled in 2014 and released at the brewery and through online shops in early 2015. The 2011 batch was released at the first Sour & Bitter Festival in 2012 where it was available to drink on-site as well as to take away for 200Dkr or about $35USD. The 2011 version was also available for sale for short periods of time through various online vendors.
In 2015, the new batch of Framboos received label approval for distribution in the United States.[1]
In 2018, 3 Fonteinen released a new batch of Framboos at Open Beer Days. This batch was a labeled as a lower ABV than previous bottlings. It used certified organic raspberries from the 2017 harvest produced by Ferme Framboos in Huldenberg, Belgium.
Since 2018, 3 Fonteinen Framboos is part of the regular lineup of releases.

Label
Label Text (1999 version):
Young lambic with Belgian raspberries added. Unfiltered. Spontaneous refermentation in the bottle. No artificial colors or flavor enhancers added. O.B.P. Trophy 1993
Label Text (2011 version):
Oak aged lambic with 30% raspberries of Pajottenland area. Spontaneous fermentation in the bottle, not filtered. Lambic is brewed with 60% malted barley, 40% wheat, aged hops and water. OPEN CAREFULLY. This beer was created on special request from Jeppe and Henrik (Drikkeriget) whom assisted Armand Debelder in the selection of the lambic which this Framboise is made of.
Label Text (2014 version):
One year old lambic brewed at 3 Fonteinen, with an addition of 30% whole fresh raspberries from the fabled Payottenland. No artificial colors or flavor enhancers added. Lambic is brewed only from 60% barley malt, 40% unmalted wheat, hops, and water.
For decades, Armand Debelder has worked as a Geuze blender - as did his father - mixing young and old lambics from other lambic brewers to create a classic Belgian beer. Recently, Armand has started brewing his own lambic. The 3 Fonteinen beers are among the very few traditional and authentic Geuzes and Lambics being made in Belgium today.
