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. The 2018 release is labeled as 5.3% ABV.
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 [[3_Fonteinen_Open_Beer_Days|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.
