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.

17.07.2023: 0,375l bottle at home. Bottled 08.02.2018. amber hazy color, small white head. smells funky, cellar notes, cheesy, oak, grassy, earthy, lovely smell. full body, soft carbonation. tastes funky, cheesy, peppery, some minerality, light oxidation notes. finishes lightly dry and lightly sour with notes of pepper, funk and cheesy notes. lovely, tons of funk on both smell and taste, just the way I like it. Great complexity. Usually I am not that big of a fan with pepper forward beers, but here it works great. Love the balance!

Small to medium off-white head over hazy orange beer. Intense horseblanket, lemon, lemonpeel, mold, stonefruit as (unripe) peach. Lactic acid, horseblanket, lemon, hints of brown candi sugar, if without any sweetness. Complex grains and a whiff of phenols. Acidburn and -thinning; very well carbonated. Ultra dry. Another top oude gueuze, complex as few.
