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!

2020 bottle, thanks Jonas! Shared at HopDog. Cloudy amber. Stonefruit, funky, tart, light, lime-apple-edgy. Taste is front heavy, then full. Lovely balanced, light and fruity dry. Nice.

Bottle from Jonas drunk at HopDog, thanks! Amber with light head. Nose of mild tire fire, overripe fruit in the garden, really nice! Flavor is hugely complex and moderately sour, but not frying-your-tongue. Fantastic huge flavor and big mouthfeel for a sour!

Opened with a loud pop and a small gush. Sour and tart, lots of barnyard funk, fruity with some stone fruit. Low acidity, smooth, very nice.

A bit cloudy on this deep orange beer. Sweeter aroma with light honey, berries, grape, must, tart notes, decomposing matter (in like the best way possible). Medium to full body. It’s tart but more reserved than many others. Sweeter with light woody notes and some bright floral bits. Not a bright beer- this skews a tad sweeter. Definitely a delicious pour.

Bottle pours out orange golden top with a fizzy head. Nose is great nice funky barrel notes some light sweetness and cheese. Taste is more of the nice funky barrel some farm dust and a little sweetness from the honey.
