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.

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.

750 c&c from Tavour. Pours very lightly translucent amber with a transient, but substantial beige head. Aroma is tart with a light honey note. Med body at least. Flavor is tart and yeasty with a discernible honey aspect. Very dry. Very tasty. Quite approachable.

Dark golden colour, close to copper. Aroma of wood and a touch of vinegar. Very faint floral honey too. Quite a full mouthfeel. The honey flavour doesn't really come through but the sweetness adds a nice complexity to a good geuze. Woody bitterness in the aftertaste.

Dark golden colour, white foam. Funky, citrussy nose with hints of honey, a bit herbal. Lemony, crispy and tart, light honey notes. Good!

Flaska från 3 Fonteinen. Guldig, relativt klar, vit krona. Drucken jämte OG Honing 17 - 18 och 20 - 21. Mycket honung i denna. Sötaktig doft och smak med mycket honungstoner. Något distinkt som nästan draråt en Cognacs- eller Brandy 50N4E. Mycket gott.
