COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Zenne y Frontera is een unieke creatie van meesterbrouwer en -geuzesteker Armand Debelder en maître-sommelier Andy De Brouwer. Dit natuurlijke millésime bier is een assemblage van jonge lambieken die nog eens 12 maanden gerust hebben op 40 jaar oude Oloroso en PX sherry vaten. Door de lange rijping worden de geuzige toetsen van onze authentieke 3 Fonteinen lambiek geaccentueerd door de typische, fijne Oloroso en Pedro Ximénez karakterteristieken. Door de Zenne y Frontera voorzichtig te karafferen evolueert het aroma en de smaak van deze unieke lambiek van fris zurig naar een complex notig en vol fruitig boeket. Zenne y Frontera is a unique creation from master-brewer and geuze-blender Armand Debelder and maître-sommelier Andy De Brouwer. This natural millésime beer is a blend of young lambics that have been aged for another 12 months in 40 year old Oloroso and PX sherry casks. Thanks to the long maturation, the geuze-like notes of our authentic 3 Fonteinen lambic are well accentuated by the typical, fine Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez characteristics. By gently decanting the Zenne y Frontera, the aroma of this unique lambic will evolve from vividly tangy to a complex nutty and fully fruity bouquet. First released in September 2015.

Vignale (7638) - Malmö, SWEDEN - DEC 4, 2022
UPDATED: DEC 4, 2022 Blend 49 17/18 köpt av Drikkerigets van utanför Amager Taproom Islandsbrygge på Zwanze day 2022. Bara en sån sak…Drucken med ölföreningen. Torr sherry möter lambic och satan i gatan vad bra det blir. Snyggbalans, potentat smaker, kryddigt, fatkomplext utan att blir svårt. Otroligt gott

AdamChandler (6124) - Enfield, New Hampshire, USA - OCT 28, 2022
UPDATED: OCT 28, 2022 Batch one from 2015. Thanks 77Ships for the trade something like 5-6 years ago. I appreciate it and will always owe you that one more trade. Split 2 ways with my wife the day we leave on our vacation. Pours still / flat. Slight legs in the glass. Rich mango gold color. The aroma fills the room. It’s like cracking up a sherry cask just pouring it. The nose in the glass sweet orange peel, cherry, wood, orange candies, banana, almonds and toasted coconut. It’s very complex. I’m going to remember this beer for a very long time. Still and flat, certainly a young lambic but a LOT of wood, coconut, banana, fortified wine, mango and peaches. Wow. Finish is long and smooth. I love this beer. It’s been a while since i had a chance to try a new lambic rate of this quality.
