Bouteille 75cl @ Heeren van Liederkercke. Servi à température de la cave. Couleur dorée/orange trouble avec un col blanc épais. Arôme fruité sec/vert profond avec le parfait mélange de lambics. Garde ce coté que j’avais précédemment retrouvé chez Cantillon dans leur lambic. En bouche, on retrouve cet aspect unique des lambics, de plus est pour celle-ci, avec 7 ans d’age. Garde un côté fruité avec une fine acidité. Reste sèche en bouche avec des notes de blé, raisins blanc et un palais qui laisse encore de nombreuses années à mûrir. Une très bonne lambic que je suis content d’avoir pu déguster en famille. Une bière qui est justifiée par son prix et s’apprécie pleinement dégustée sur place.

A very lively bottle labled 3 Fonteinen Akkurats Gold Geuze 50/50 at Akkurat. Pours golden brown with a big white head. Aroma of cellard apples and a hint of petrol. Semi tart with a taste of the swedish pear popsicle "Piggelin"

Bottle at Akkurat, December 28, 2010. Sold as "3 Fonteinen Akkurats Gold Geuze 50/50". Slightly hazy golden with a medium white head. Big and funky aroma. The taste was both bitter and very sour. Grapes, barnyard, apples. A lof of carbonation. A very good Gueuze.

Bottled as "3 Fonteinen Akkurats Gold Geuze 50/50". Pours golden/yellow. Big head for a gueuze. Semi hazy. Dry citrusy sour aroma. Dusty cellar notes. The taste is big and complex with clear grape notes. Medium bitterness that reminds me of currant seeds. Very sour (in the way that hurts your stomach). This is an agressive gueuze! I don’t know how this tasted fresh, but this aged bottle tasted old and dusty in a bad way.

2003 Vintage Bottle thanks to ditmier for sharing this special treat. Pours out a cloudy straw topped with a white head. Aroma was very complex with lemon zest, oak, apple, funk, and some leather. Taste was more of the same oak and light lemon along with some dust, white grape.

Bottle: Poured a dirty cloudy beige color lambic with a huge foamy head with great retention and some really good lacing. Aroma of oak with funky notes of wet leather and barnyard notes is quite sublime. Taste is a very nice complex mix between some acidity similar to what can be found in green apples as well as some oak and barn yard notes. Flavors are very well balanced with good carbonation even though bottle is 7 years old. Even though this is great it still feels to be slightly inferior to the regular Oude Gueuze from 1999 which in my book is still one of the best beer around the world.

This was shared by mreusch, thanks Matt but I also had a bottle I picked up at the spot and saved to share with Brandon. The cork explodes, has some crude around it. The beer is a bit of a gusher, this a thick head, which isn’t loud. Don’t know how 3 Fonteinen does it but that signature rubber tire/burnt rubber is all over but there is also a very earthy character (maybe its the age). This is a burnt gueze character, thick. Flavor is more burnt rubber but fades quickly. Some sweetness (for a lambic) and a calmed body for the style. Nice stuff.

Huge thanks to beastiefan2k for sharing this, what was likely my most sought-after want (what will replace it?’)- celebrated my son’s first birthday a little early with this one - lovely, lively turbid gold, with a thick, rocky head - a lot of cork hits the nose first, followed by light leather, oak, and a surprising subdued wheat and light sweetness - soft carbonation in the mouth - dry and tart, but not overpoweringly so - very present and complex funk, but again, very balanced - every element works fairly harmoniously; no one quality dominates - lingering oak and light acetic character on the tail end - complex and palate-challenging, but insanely drinkable (I could easily polish off a 750 of this by myself) - thanks again, Eugene!

Pours sort of golden apricot pink copper with white head. The aroma seems smooth and its subtleness defies its fullness. It has points of tartness, tannin like fruit skin, yeasty spice, apricots and tart un ripe cherries. The taste begins neutral for a moment before sour and tart notes seem to attach all at once. It seems to become sour citrus and assorted fruity sourness to midway and then drying out right into the finish. Into the after taste I get supportive notes of muted spices and earthiness leaving a nice dry palate. I also get a growing Brett like quality after a few ounces go down.

Huge thank you to cpferris. This was one of the best beers that I’ve ever tried. It looked great - hazy, yellow liquid with a surprisingly nice head. The aroma was fantastic - complex, sour and earthy. In a good way, it smelled like old books, lemon peels and acorns. Lots of oak and sour were apparent. The flavor was possibly even better. The sour wasn’t overpowering but inviting and interesting. It starts with sweetness and acidity but finishes quite dry. Great funk. Gentle feel. An absolutely excellent gueuze.
