The apricots are sourced from environmentally-friendly and sustainable agriculture. The proportion is 300 g of fruit blended with one litre of lambic, and the soaking time is very short. Specifically, it will only take around five weeks for the lambic to extract the fragrances and flavours of the fruit. It is worthwhile to note that Fou’Foune kicks off the bottling season around the end of August. Given its success, Fou’Foune has taken up third place among the fruit beers in terms of volume, behind the traditional kriek and Rosé de Gambrinus.

Really nice yellow color that's bright and inviting. Aroma has plenty of apricot but in a discrete, balanced way. Taste is wonderful. Nice acidity with delicious apricot notes. Light and lively. Overall, excellent beer.

The amazing aspect of Fou'Foune is how delicate the balance and flavor profile is, yet the flavor is also complex and robust. A beautiful contradiction! Fou'Foune pours light gold with a modest pure white head. Fruit forward in the nose, and lively and effervescent like champagne on the tongue. Flavor tiptoes up the the line of tartness, then backs off and is replaced by sweetness. Apricot and citrus doing the tango on your palette. Savor this.

Brasserie Cantillon 'Fou Foune' @ 6.0% , served from a 750 ml bottle cap/corked on Aug22/2023
A-pour is almost clear from the bottle (tough cork) to a slight hazy light gold in the glass with a small size white head leaving a fine spotty lace ring along the teku , last pour is murky
S-apricots , hints of funk
T-tart , sour , acidic , apricots thru-out with a very sour finish
MF-ok carbonation , medium body
Ov-impressive beer , worthy of it's rating , not a fan of the price , ouch
