3 Fonteinen Framboos

◎ Aussehen

A pale ruby-red hue, translucent and unfiltered, revealing the natural sediment characteristic of wild fermentation. The head is modest but persistent, with fine carbonation rising steadily through the glass. Clarity diminishes slightly toward the base, a visual testament to the beer's living, unpasteurised nature.

◌ Aroma

A forest of ripe raspberries dominates the nose, intensifying as the beer warms. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle funkiness—earthy, slightly musty notes from months of maceration and wild yeast activity. Floral and herbal undertones emerge, with a whisper of oak and the dry, tannic character of whole fruit skin.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens bright and tart, with the acidity of hand-picked raspberries immediately apparent. Mid-palate reveals the underlying lambic structure—dry, complex, and lightly spiced by fermentation. The sour notes persist without harshness, balanced by a delicate sweetness from the fruit itself, finishing with a crisp, berry-driven complexity that lingers.

◑ Abgang

A long, dry finish leaves the palate refreshed and slightly puckered. The aftertaste carries the memory of fresh fruit and a gentle funkiness, with no cloying sweetness.
