3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Cuvée Armand & Gaston is a blend of one-, two-, and three-year old traditional lambics, all brewed at Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen. 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. This cuvée, like all of our lambic, is 100% natural, authentic, spontaneously fermented, and crafted with steadfast adherence to tradition, like Armand and Gaston Debelder have always done it. This geuze has fermented in the bottle and will continue to develop its tastes and aromas over its long life when properly cellared. Traditional Lambic is living, cultural heritage rooted in the Zenne valley! Taste, savour, enjoy, and experience this unfiltered, unpasteurised, and unadulterated beer with friends new and old!

I am very much in favour of 5% lambic. So much character without too much boost. Decent funk here, some citric edge, balanced acidity, a little pale woody dryness. Active, massaging carb. Clean, tidy finish. Refreshing. Excellent.

Excellent. Good depth. Nice musty old wood, a little dried lemon, cobwebs, salt. Moderate acidity. Semi-dry finish. Highly drinkable.

Bottle from 3F webshop. Slightly hazy dark golden to light amber with small white head. Deep funk, oak, leather, soft lemon, peach. This is a bit more on the old side, and also a little bit more sour maybe. Nice.

375ml @ Alex's deck after gazebo assembling part #2.
Aroma: funky, sweet ish, a bit oxidized.
Taste: along the same lines.
Overall: feels more like oxidized than usual, still pleasant enough.

Bouteille 75cl, dégustée en solo pour le 21 juillet, au village en Espagne.
BB 26/10/2040, bottled 04/03/2020 - achetée sur le site 3F - winter pack, si je me souviens bien.
De couleur orange-ambre, col encore bien mousseux blanc-cassé se dissipant lentement.
Arôme sur un excellent bouquet de lambics - complexe funk - fruité oscillant entre coing, fleuri, abricot, boisé délicieux presque sur un effet chêne américain frais.
Palais est délicieux laissant de prime abord une belle sensation de boisé frais/barrique tout en accomodant des notes de funk, poussiéreux, vieux cellier, pointe versant sur les amandas, aigreur fine d'abricot-noyaux. Pas d elambic de trois ans dedans - un plus pour un ajout de céréales locales en mod e100%. Mêmme apèrs 5 ans, cela reste franchement délicieux à déguster. Fraicheur de bouche avec un côté fruité rappelant la mandarine - orange givrée et encore le côté amande.

0.75l bottle, courtesy of.... I actually have no clue who shared it at the Hrvatsko Homebrew Prvenstvo, but thanks a ton! Hazy orange-golden body, off-white head. Orange notes, spices and brett in the attractive aroma. Smooth, floral, citric - orange taste, touch of paint, brett, bit acetic, low bitterness. Complex and lovely!
