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!

Amber, a wisp of white. Damp hay, old lemon, old cut flowers. Dry, sour, some sherry notes creeping in. Elegant. In no way going downhill.

Bottle date of March 4, 2016. Cellared since purchased. Pours slightly hazy honeycomb yellow with moderate white head. Funk and wheat field aroma. Flavor is oak, funk and meadow. Luscious mouthfeel. Thus has softened and aged so well as it past its 9th birthday!!
LCI, elegant, classy structure. Definite sherry, honeyed notes, light lasting funk. Roasted apricots.

Bottle shared at Foeders, season 19/20, blend no.34. Vibrantly acidic, citric, a bit estery, loaded with funk, some earth and barnyard. Easy drinking despite of its high acidity, light bodied with soft carbonation.

Aroma of barnyard, yeast, tart grapes and apples, brett, oak. Flavour is sour. Carbonation is very high,champagne-like. This is a remarkably balanced gueuze. Wow.
