Топовый ламбик, очень нежный что ли, сена не много но и цитрусовых мало что иногда сильно оттягивают на себя вкус. Очень винное послевкусие, причем виноград именно белый.

Bottle courtesy of Zhenya, enormous thanks! Murky dark orange body, off-white head. Fresh brett funk meets candied orange and white grape raisins, lovely, some glue later but it still works. Lean, dry, fresh white grape and citrus funky taste, restrained enough, daringly sour enough.

The first edition of a special 'Christmas geuze' by 3 Fonteinen, not because the lambic was flavoured with Christmas spices (luckily, perhaps), but a special version of the famed Cuvée Armand & Gaston enriched with a portion of five year old lambic to create extra depth. Snow white, medium thick, bit irregularly edged, bubbly head sustained by a storm of sparkling swirling through a hazy golden robe with apricot glow. Intense, refined bouquet of unripe peach, freshly cut green apple, green gooseberry, old wood, kimchi, green leek, old leather, unripe nectarine, rhubarb, lime juice, sweat, pickled onions, green walnut, dry earth, old dry sherry. Very crisp, 'crystalline' onset, lots of gooseberry, green plum, Granny Smith apple, redcurrant and unripe apricot impressions, sharp yet not harsh - tingling with 'champenoise' effervescence in an essentially smooth, full, bready core laced with green-fruity lactic sourness and lots of ongoing minerality. Tannic woodiness in the finish, dry sherry notes - a bit nutty even, but not as pronounced as I was expecting seen the average age of the lambics; add a perfectly tuned leathery Brett funkiness and combine it with this very crisp, fruity splendour and what you have, is this absolute gem of a geuze, perhaps feeling more 'summery' than 'Christmassy', but blended to utmost perfection. This is 3 Fonteinen geuze blending at its best, even topping the already majestic Cuvée Armand & Gaston for me... The depth and complexity of the five year old lambic does make a difference, without deviating too much from what one expects from a geuze by this world class producer. I hope this one will be repeated every year, it truly adds something to the already crowded world of traditionally made lambic beers.

Bottle shared by omhper, thanks.
Short white head.
Amber color.
A complex aroma with lactic acidity, brett caractrer but also a bit of over popped popcorn.
Excellent taste with much carracter.

Bottled, from Systembolaget. Clear amber, small head. Intense barnyard aroma with citricity and grass. Tart with with medium body and soft mouthfeel. Laid back elegance. Barnyard and citric acid. Balanced. Complex. Wonderful.
Funky, vinous and tartish with some apples, little carbonation, almost flat, hints of earthiness and sourness, mild oakiness and farmyardy notes. A bit too low on carbonation, not super complex

Bottle: Poured a cloudy dirty golden color lambic with a small foamy head with limited retention and lacing. Aroma of funky ester with some oak and tart notes with light vinous notes. Taste is also a mix of vinous notes with some funky ester and some tart notes. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable lambic with nice vinous notes.
