About the beer

The barrels with 2 and 3-year-old lambic were fermented by the Boon brewery and make up 40% of the total blend. The lambic is produced using only 60% barley malt, 40% unmalted wheat, aged hops, and water; it is spontaneously fermented by wild yeasts and aged in oak barrels.

Founded in 1887 in Beersel, near Brussels, 3 Fonteinen specializes in spontaneously fermented Gueuze and Kriek beers.
