Season 2019-2020. Assemblage #79. Bottled on 07/10/2020. "While looking for old sherry barrels, we cannot get lucky all the time. While we will be sourcing barrels directly from bodegas to assure provenance and quality, we had a batch of Pedro Ximenez (PX) barrels that was on the peated side (albeit subdued). As a result, we decided not to use them for Zenne y Frontera, but to blend them with other (fruit) lambikken into geuze and fruit blends. This is the first of such blends to be released. Sour cherries were macerated partly on young peated lambik and partly on two-year old straight lambik in a stainless steel tank. We blended with young and three-year old (!) lambik. 55% of the blend is old lambik and the final fruit intensity is 567 grams of sour cherries per litre."

We let them mature extensively on their dedicated barrels, before blending them with some young lambik and a small portion of a honeycomb macerated lambik. We used quite some two- and three-year old honey lambikken, pushing the weighted average age of the whole blend to more than 30 months on the moment of bottling."

Season 2021-2022. Assemblage #42. Bottled on 23/02/2022. "For this Langste Kook / Longest Boil - a special version of the Cuvée Armand & Gaston - we brewed a typical lambik wort, but with an extended boiling time. We usually boil for five hours - the highest in the lambik world and about tenfold of modern beer brewing. Now, we boiled a whopping eighteen hours. 18. Hours. After a full year of barrel fermentation and maturation, we blended with a young portion of lambik to assure continued bottle fermentation. With a weighted average age of the blend of almost twelve months upon bottling, this is a rather young geuze, but all lambikken were brewed with Pajottenland grains from our own Cereal Collective."

Season 2021-2022, Assemblage #51. Bottled on 17/03/2022. "For this Kweepeer, we macerated quinces from different organic fields around Flanders. We put them for almost four months on young lambik and blended with some more jonge lambik before bottling. It is hard to put a correct fruit intensity level as the massive quinces give off their flavours and aromas but do not really get disintegrated into the lambik. We did macerate 50/50 quince and lambik. So quite intense nonetheless."

Season 2021-2022. Bottled on 28/062/2022. "For this Strenge Winter, we brewed a full malt wort with the addition of candied sugar on the coolship. This wort was brewed on April 16th 2020.

The weighted average age of the blend upon bottling was therefore more than 23 months."

The oldest lambik was brewed in the first days of 2017, which is more than four and a half years prior to the release.

"For this Frambozenlambik, we macerated raspberries from Ferme Framboos for four months on jonge lambik at a fruit intensity of 382 grams of raspberries per litre of lambik. Lighter in colour due to the applied maceration technique, the raspberry characteristics in aroma and taste of this Frambozenlambik present themselves while opening up.

Upon bottling, the average age was about twenty months. A quarter of the lambikken used were brewed with heirloom Pajot grown cereals, from our own farmers’ cereal collective.

Season 2020-2021. Assemblage #17 bottled on 20/01/2021. "This Cuvée Armand & Gaston has been blended with lambikken from four different barrels and originating from four different brews. Twenty percent of the cereals that we used for brewing the young lambik, were sourced in Brabant through our own farmers’ network. The old lambik that we used — brewed in the first days of 2018 — comes from two small 400-litre barrels that we found to be gently oxidative. The weighted average age of this blend upon bottling was eighteen months.."

Season 2019-2020, Assemblage #71. Bottled on 17/06/20."For this Hommage iteration, we blended a kriekenlambik (26%) with a frambozenlambik (74%), both macerated on stainless steel.

Season 2021-2022. Assemblage #47. Bottled on 11/03/2022. "Nocturne is a spontaneously fermented full malt beer. Not your typical lambik beer, but our take on a Vlaams Oud Bruin. The beer was brewed with five different barley malts, from pilsner malt to dark roasted malts, and no wheat whatsoever. This batch was brewed in April 2019 with more lighter malt, and put on oak barrels for three years before we blended it with a small portion of freshly brewed Nocturne. The weighted average age of this beer upon bottling is 33 months."
