3 Fonteinen Doesjel

“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.”

“3 Fonteinen Doesjel is a blend of one-, two- and at least three-year old lambikken. Spontaneously fermented but not in the bottle anymore. Matured in oak barrels. Extended bottle ageing. Unfiltered. Unpasteurised.”
