Speling Van Het Lot XVII.ii: Kweeper III
Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen

Bottle: Poured a golden color lambic with a medium size white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of funky ester with some barnyard notes and some tart quinces notes. Taste is also a mix of funky barnyard notes with some quinces and a tart/slightly acidic finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but maybe a tad more acidic than I would have liked.

A 750ml corked and caged bottle, blend°4, season 20/21, bottled on 14th December 2020, bottle number 369/824. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.

Appearance: A moderately hazy golden orange colour, with a half finger white head that had pretty good retention, and left some nice lacing.

Aroma: Quince, unripe plum, wood shavings, hay, lemon zest, with light funky and mineral notes.

Taste: Sour, tart, green apple, quince, lemon juice, wood, with a touch of dust and funk.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation.

Overall: I actually tried the regular Kweepeer right before this small batch experimental brew version which was bottled one year earlier. And my preference was the regular Kweepeer, which suggests that after the experiments, they got it right and put out the best version in the end. That’s not to say that this was bad, as it was still good, just not the best version it could be.
