3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Cuvée Armand & Gaston Vintage is a blend of one-, two-, and three-year old lambikken. Instead of releasing them after minimum six months of bottle conditioning, the vintage series have been cellared for at least three years up to even five years and longer before being released. For an Oude Geuze to become a Vintage, it features characteristics that are unique, sometimes surprising or outspoken.

Small off-white head, soon reduced to rim over well-carbonated orange beer. Grapes & horseblanket, intense lambicnose with lactic acid, Bretts and other wild yeasts; faintly sulphury. Sour-sweetish, horseblanket. Fine exotic spice, farmyard flavours, wheat, white grapes. Light, refreshing, mild acidburn and -thinning. Green apples in the aftertaste. Gueuze of the absolute top. Purchased @ Dranken Goegebuer, Knesselare

Funky, vinous and sour with some farmyardy yeastiness, tartness and hints of earthiness. Quite balanced and complex

Pours fairly unclear blonde. Big white head. Scent is full, malty, oaky, creamy, dense. Taste is full, creamy, sharper than the regular OGV. More citric, green (unripe) lemon, higher carbonation. Def needs more time, it seems, but even than I doubt it will be on par with the OGV 19.
