3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze is a blend of one-, two-, and three-year old lambics. Spontaneous fermentation, patient maturation in oak barrels, and continued evolution of the ecosystem in the bottle result in a distinctively complex and elegant natural beer. No two bottlings are alike, as there are multiple variables in the blending process, a variety of barrel sizes and shapes, differences in aged lambic proportions in the blend, etc. When cellared properly, 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze can be aged for several decades. The aromas and flavours will evolve from notes of vibrant fresh citrus, zesty and grassy notes to a mellow, oaky, stone fruit bouquet as the lambic continues to develop with time. Lambic and Geuze are living, cultural heritage rooted in the Zenne valley! Taste, savour, enjoy and experience this bottle fermented, unfiltered, unpasteurised and unadulterated beer with friends new and old!

Bottle pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a nice cloudy yellow-orange with a nice off-white head. Aroma was pleasant tartness, sharpness has mellowed now that it's aged a bit, a bit sweeter than a fresh bottle. Really nice.
Hapu, funky, nisune, linnaseline, kerge tsitrus, mõru. Hea.

Fantastic, can’t fault it really, nice juicy citrus, balanced acidity, a little old wood, faint grass, nips of salt.

Big bottle shared by Turd: Poured a unclear orange golden with a white head, good carbonation on opening. Aroma is fruity, diaper, musty, woodsy. Taste is tangy, sour, fruity, lively on the tongue, acidic.

Great stuff, ageing so well. Mild wood, low funk, soft acidity, a little grass, nip of citric bite, grass. Super.
#lambiclauantai. Tart, funky and sourish with some farmyardy yeastiness, sweetish lemony notes, oak and earthiness. Sweetish and complex, quite mellow sourness. Pretty balanced.

Strawberry jam, honey, apricots, farmhouse, a touch of oxidization, leather in the nose which is amazing. The palate is a bit lifeless. Modestly sour. This is over the hill, but still amazing nose
