3 Fonteinen - Hommage 19/20 No10 1.5L

"3 Fonteinen Hommage is the result of macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries and raspberries on young lambic for at least four months, in a proportion of 760 to 800 grams of raspberries and 200 to 240 grams of sour cherries per litre of lambic. This fruit lambic is then blended again with more lambic to obtain a minimum intensity of 35% fruit. Hommage is a bodied raspberry lambic beer, with an intense deep red forest fruit bouquet. This unfiltered and unpasteurised lambic is all-natural with no artificial juices, syrups, or sugars added.

For this Hommage, we blended a co-maceration of raspberries and sour cherries – but we switched the fruit proportions – with a small batch of pure frambozenlambik. Consequently, this Hommage is somewhat out of the ordinary. The average weighted maceration time is 5,5 months and the final fruit intensity is 493 grams of whole fruits per litre of Hommage. The proportion of sour cherries is 54% vs. 46% of raspberries; the latter all sourced at Ferme Framboos. Finally, we also used a sizeable portion of two-year old lambik, brewed in the beginning of 2018. All lambikken originate from four different barrels and six different brews.
