BIERE

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."

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 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. The weighted average maceration time was six months. While macerating and blending, we used lambikken originating from five different barrels and nine different brews. The final fruit intensity amounts up to 376 grams of fruit per litre of Hommage. 100% 3 Fonteinen."

Season 2019-2020, Assemblage #12. Bottled on 13/12/19. "For this Hommage iteration, we blended about one third of kriekenlambik with two thirds of frambozenlambik, both macerated on stainless steel. The weighted average maceration time was four and a half months. While macerating and blending, we used lambikken originating from 4 different barrels and 6 different brews. The final fruit intensity amounts up to 413 grams of fruit per litre of Hommage. Finally, we added some honey just before bottling. 100% 3 Fonteinen."

The fruit proportion is 83% raspberries and 17% sour cherries, the lambics originate from 6 different barrels and 5 different brews (25% 3 Fonteinen lambic, 75% Lindemans)."

This rather young variety originates from the Freiburg region in Germany and combines an intense muscat bouquet with a higher sugar density than other Muscat varieties (especially when harvested slightly late). Anyhow, we put the grape must with fifteen-months old lambik on a small oak foeder. The lambikken that we used for blending, was a three-year old lambik (and makes up more than 10% of the total volume).

Season 2022-2023 Assemblage #38. Bottled on 31/01/2023. "For this first ever fully organic grape lambik, we macerated Grüner Veltliner grapes on one- and two-year old lambik. The grapes were sourced from Christoph Hoch, a Demeter-certified wine maker from Hollenburg an der Donau, Austria. Total maceration time was almost five months and the weighted average age of this blend was more than 19 months upon bottling. The final fruit intensity is 406 grams of whole grapes per litre of finished Druif. All cereals we used in brewing the seven different lambikken, were sourced with local Pajot farmers."

Season 2022-2023 Assemblage #35. Bottled on 26/01/2023. "For this Druif, we macerated the ever fragrant Gewurztraminer grape, harvested in the summer 2022 in Bourgheim, Alsace, on one- and three-year old lambik, for more than four months. The old portion accounts for almost 80%, rendering the weighted average age of more than 31 months. The final fruit intensity is 437 grams of Gewurztraminer grapes per litre of finished Druif. Almost 65% of the nine different lambikken were brewed with local cereals. A small part of this blend was also bottled on magnums. 100% 3 Fonteinen."

Season 2019-2020. Assemblage #85. Bottled on . on "This Doesjel was bottled on the 1st of December of 2020 and was intended to be an Oude Geuze. Because of the high proportion of older lambikken, the fermentation did not continue in the bottle and the blended lambik beer remained flat. The yeast dozed in, hence the name – a local dialect for that typical little sleepy knock you get over noon. In return, with a natural-white-wine-like aroma and malty citrussy taste, the resulting beer is a subtle lambik blend, with a weighted average age of about 30 months upon its release. The oldest lambikken were brewed at the beginning of 2018. This is the first Doesjel in 75cl bottles since 2006."

Season 2021-2022. Assemblage #89. Bottled on 30/06/2022. "For this Cuvée Miel, we blended three different old lambikken, all brewed while adding honey-from-our-own-hives onto the coolship. 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 2020-2021. Assemblage #67. Bottled on 28/07/2021. "The Cuvée Miel is a special version of the Cuvée Armand & Gaston. This geuze is a blend of one-, two-, three- and four-year old lambikken that have been infused with honey on the coolship. While blending, we added some more local honey. The weighted average age of this blend upon bottling was more than 24 months. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambik."

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."
