The Cuvée Miel is a special version of the Cuvée Armand & Gaston. This geuze is a blend of one-, two-, three- and four-year old lambikken that have been infused with honey on the coolship. While blending, we added some more local honey. The weighted average age of this blend upon bottling was more than 24 months. 100% 3 Fonteinen brewed lambik.

Was expecting the honey to add some sweetness but instead got more A&G bite than expected. Still delicious rustic gueuze notes, apples and pears, lemony peppery funk.

750mL bottled October 2021, drunk 1/22/23. Darker bronze than usual for a lambic on account of the honey I assume. No head, clear. Smells less funky/barnyardy than I'd prefer, with strong lactic acid, fruity, peppery, almost waxy honey fermentation character and a bit of brett playfulness, though it's rather fleeting. Clean. Very fruity and feels stronger than usual (since it is). Soft texture, wheat and malt heavy with good attenuation, though not as dry, crisp and effervescent as I'd like. There's some interesting brett and lacto character here, but it's also strong, a bit more sluggish and intense on account of the much higher alcohol content. These ~8% lambics are just not at all what lambic is about to me - lighthearted, crisp, playful, champagne-like, drinkable. Instead it's just intensity, strength, maltiness, sluggish fruit. Don't care for that.

Juleafslutning i Ratebeer, Odense. December 2022 hos Mads. Hazy golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of funk, malt and a hint of bees wax. Dry and tart fruity and funky flavour with a hint of honey sweetness. Less complex than most from the brewery

Bottle shared by Jeff, thanks! Pours a slightly hazy peachy gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a great combination of funk and sour fruits with an oak backbone. Flavor has a great earthy and barnyard funk with growing tart fruits and a hint lemon underlying.
