This ratingis for the bottled version. Bright cherry red, very lively. Acidic nose with loads of raspberry and sweet cherry aroma. Though acidic the flavour is dominated by sweet cherries. Sourish finish finish with a hint of crystalized sugar. Very good, but there are more complex krieks. (Mind you, this beer is definitely not sweet, even if there are some sweetish flavour hints.)

Cantillon is the beer lover's gueuze; Girardin is the gueuze lover's gueuze; Hanssens in the thinking man's gueuze; Cuvee Rene is a really screwed-up gueuze; but Drie Fonteinen is the session gueuze. Yes, it's expensive in the US and quite strong, but the combination of hardcore, funky, sour gueuze with smooth maltiness and hint of sweetness in the finish makes this the most emminently quaffable of the oude gueuzes.
