About this release

An exceptional elderflower lambic, born from a collaboration between the legendary Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen and Danish Mikkeller. For this special bottle, elderflowers were macerated for several days on three-year-old lambic, after which the whole matured in a wooden barrel. Subsequently it was blended with young and old lambic, with a weighted average age of more than three years at bottling. With less than one gram of flowers per liter, the aroma is subtle yet surprisingly intense — an ode to the power of nature. Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen from Beersel, Belgium, is renowned worldwide as a master of traditional lambic and gueuze. Their expertise in spontaneous fermentation and blending lambics of different ages results in beers with exceptional depth and complexity. This is fully expressed in Stella 17, a beer that brings the art of lambic brewing to life. The delicate interplay between the fermented elderflower and the multi-year lambics creates an impressive drink with 6.8% alcohol. Stella herself participated in the ideation of this bottle on July 10, 2025, among the barrels of 3 Fonteinen. A timeless and elegant lambic for the true connoisseur, released as Blend No. 38 of season 24/25.
