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!

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.

375ml corked and caged bottle. (Blend No. 8, season 19/20). 6.4% abv. Pours a hazy orange amber with a small, foamy, short lived, off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma of pale malt, green apple, funky Brett, green grape, lemon, oak and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of pale malt, green apple, peach, lemon rind, green grape, horse blanket, oak and floral hops in a dry, acidic, sour finish. Medium body with an oily to watery texture and soft carbonation. Lots of complexity. Excellent.

Pours a darker blonde, more amber than anything. Small yet stable head. Scent is very barmyard funky, brett loaded, some wood. Very de troch like 'rawness' - even though its 100 pct 3f. Taste is intense, raw and rough. Old oak, mushroomy even, intense brett funk. Quite outspoken. Medium acidity (balanced) . Sharp, average carbo. Not bad, but very funky for a 3f.
