3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Golden Blend is a blend of one-, two-, three-and at least 25% four-year old lambics. Spontaneous fermentation, patient maturation in oak barrels, and continued evolution in the bottle result in a distinctively complex 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, etc. When cellared properly, 3 Fonteinen Golden Blend can be aged for several decades. Traditional lambic is living, cultural heritage rooted in the Zenne valley! Bottle fermented, unfiltered and unpasteurised.

(750ml bottle from an SB web order, had this bottle for a long time!) Pours clear pale amber with a tiny white head and no lace. Aroma is pretty deep, funky, with sweetened lemon, green apple, soft stone fruit and caramel sweetness, lots of oak, nuttiness, lactic cheesiness is quite soft, a little dried grass/hay herbal component. Flavour is more acidic than the nose suggests but prominently lactic, very heavy on fresh lemon and a touch of grapefruit, touch of green apple, bare hint of malt sweetness, moderate wood, green walnut, slightly herbal/peppery, finish is slightly drying but still lactic, lemon, wood, lighty bitter herbal quality. Fairly light-bodied, soft carbonation. Solid lambic, but honestly it felt on the young side in both a component age and bottle age sense. It was so bright and lactic, while I was expecting more woody, malty and richer fruity qualiy on the palate.

Аромат отличный, много ягод, что то вроде смородины и кислого компота, много яблок и сока от него, есть все признаки фермы, и сено и земля с признаками скота. Цвет немного более мутный чем обычно для Ламбика. Вкус очень ровный и сбалансированый. Ощущается яблоки и сок от него, кислота есть но не сильная и не резкая. Много сухофруктов как будто, с намеками на курагой. Послевкусие с душком от специй и травянистостей. Как будто даже хмель с сухостью. В целом, ровный и отличный экземпляр кисляка.

Tåkete brun med hvitt luftig skum. Lukter svovel, fat og litt sitrus. Syrlig og tørr. Plomme, eple og svovel i smak.

2021 bottle poured. Bright orange appearance, thin head that slowly fades. Just an exceptional product here. Lots of funk on the nose up front, barn, straw grains, white grape, and oak. Some lemon tart that grows on the palate. A touch dry with the oak. Layered aroma and flavor. Fantastic blend to have notes on now to compare to the platinum blend enjoyed earlier in the season.
