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.

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.

Double-honeyed version of 3 Fonteinen’s Cuvée Armand & Gaston geuze, with honey added to the coolship and later in blending as well. Egg-white, moussy, medium thick, slowly opening head; misty amberish-tinged warm orange blonde robe with visible sparkling. Aroma of unripe peach, dry haystack, old dried orange peel, dandelion, lightly toasted pumpkin seeds, oxidized white wine, old bread crust, lemon zest, crabapple, sow thistle, urine-like Brett and some chlorine. Dry and crisp onset, astringent unripe stonefruit and wild apples, sour gooseberry side effects, fizzy carb (champenoise) with enlivening, refreshing effect; bread-crusty core under strong, grass silage-like lactic tartness and tannic woodiness as well as lingering wild apple, rosehip and unripe stonefruit notes. Odd retronasal effects appear, no doubt related to what the lambic yeasts did to the honey: dandelion leaf, mugwort, even dried mushrooms. Old hop bitter notes in the end, accentuating the dryness and woodiness; some juicy berry-like fruitiness does remain, but the whole ends very dry and tannic, a tad more so than the regular Cuvée Armand & Gaston in my mind (it has been a while since I last had it). Rich, complex, layered lambic blend, somewhat odd here and there but all the more fascinating for that reason.
