3 Fonteinen Hommage

I’m afraid my English vocabulary is to limited to describe such a superb beer. Hell, even my Flemish is to limited I’m afraid. Purple head quickly disappearing after pouring the bear. Good carbonation. Self-evident fruity aroma’s dominated by the cherries but after some time I also recognise the raspberries. Cherry is dominantly present at the start, but when the cherry’s faint away, the raspberries pop up. I don’t think you can get closer to perfection for this style of beer. My first 20/20. Only a slightly longer lasting head might have resulted in a completely perfect score.

Many thanks to hellomynameis for this great treat. Massive sour barnyard funk with excellent lactic character. Faint cherry and raspberry flavor. Wow. Lactic flavor with some funk. Amazing beer. Reminds me of a wisconsin spring. Ok, end wine pretense. My second tasting of this was better than I remembered it. Bottled at Falling Rock. The as tart and refreshing as I remember, but the cherry really smoothed out the finish.

Like a sweet Rapsberry Jam. For a Lambic, not much tartness or funk at all, which is nice for a cjange. Damn good beer, but a bit pricey for sure.

There is a lot of barnyard and funk in this aroma with some sour cherry notes and a bit of raspberry sweetness. It is nicely carbonated with some soft fizz on the tongue. Lots of raspberry up front with a bunch of lactic sourness with tart cherries finishing it out. Really nice overall with some very interesting flavours.

Shortlived dark pink head, fed by very good carbonation over deep red beer, varying from clear ruby over the colour of bloodorange juice to a muddier brownish red. Having rested the necessary months, here are the raspberries - superb! There’s an additional fruity smell, that was in the beginning clearly cherry. Little perfumey, but in the best way possible. Very perfumey flavours as well, a jumble of raspberry, cherry, lemon, sour apples, a tutti frutti of the best quality. Finish is still mainly sour cherries, very ripe. Aggressive acidity, the lactic, fruitacids and the carbonation confluent. Still, there is that much fruit, that no one could call this light. I did not believe the Master when I told him, after the first tasting, that I found too much cherry, he told me it would better with aging. Now the drinking accompanies humble pie - Armand was right. This is heaven and it is growing full of raspberries.
