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!

Small bottle. Amber, 1/2cm white head. Horse barn aroma with a slight old lemon note. But then it really picks up. Creamy, open texture. Decent carbonation. Moderately sour with old lemon, autumnal fruit, the barn.

Ystad Tasting (25/11/2023) - Magnum bottle! Tart fruity with notes of apricot, some dried orchard fruit, nice and funky, medium body and nice acidity, wooden oak accents into the tart fruity finish.

Blend no. 26 via SAQ online purchase. Thank you Fred! Dark orange pour with a small white head. Aroma is huge funk! Thick, wafting barnyard funkiness. Lots of lemon zest, and oils. Wet hay, grass, hints of burnt hair. Super refreshing, risp, clean, tart, funky. All these adjectives seem counter intuitive to something that should be enjoyable, but it SO GOOD! Amazing to the last drop. I wish I could drink this daily without having to claim bankruptcy. Outstanding!

Аромат кислый слегка квашенный. Чувствуются яблоки и сухофрукты. Цвет мутно грейпфрутовый с тонкой постоянной пенкой. Вкус лимонно кислый, с совсем легкой яблочной квашеностью, который плавно перетекает в сухой и травянистый оттенок. Послевкусие идет очень плавно и мягко по сравнению с ярким вкусом. Постепенно после глотка ягодная кислота плавно улетучивается. Травянистость перетекает в легкий оттенок еловой горечи. Наступает сбалансированная сухость. В целом отличный Гёз. Но уж слишком дорого за такое водянистое пускай и вкусное пиво.

Közepes, sokáig megmaradó hab, homályos borostyán szín. Savanykás, istállós, gabonás, hordós, gyümölcsös illat. Rendkívül komplex, savanykás, kissé édeskés, gyümölcsös, istállós, gabonás ízek, a hordó fás, vaníliás jegyeivel kiegészülve. Közepesen testes, enyhén szénsvas, alig kesernyés. Csodás sör.
