Bottle looks very simple and unusual for 3 Fonteinen. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Starts mild, fine hoppy, modest sourish notes. Finish fine balanced, fruity hints. Quite drinkable. Nice.

Palme (1437) - Bergen, NORWAY - MAY 1, 2012
0.33l bottle shared with ClubGonzo and Inbreak. This is a cloudy straw yellow beer with a small quickly sidesticking white head. I get citrus with some sweetness, flowers and hints of sweet honey. Quite fade, but there. It has a nice light almost oily texture and a average carbonation level. Nice flavors also. Not yer typical lager indeed! It’s light malty and almost a bit sweet, more flowerish tones, some leafs and also a hint of sourness. Or is it just citrus perhaps? Anyway, it tasted quite nice. 18.04.2012

ClubGonzo (1943) - Bergen, NORWAY - APR 22, 2012
Bottle, shared with Palme and Inbreak. Pours a hazy light orange body with a small white head. Nose is floral fruity tones, pale malts and hints of raspberries and honey. Taste is crisp pale malts, smooth honey and raspberry notes. Hints of grass and what could be vague Belgian yeast tones, but I’m not quite sure. This is not a very easy beer to rate; it’s very similar to a lager but at the same time has something undefinable "Belgian" to it. Pretty nice, regardless.

Bottle. Cloudy golden beer with a strong head. The aroma is spiced and bitter, and the flavour is bitter with a mildly dry hopped feel. Overall an average bitter and spiced beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

erickok (1059) - Leiden, NETHERLANDS - NOV 29, 2011
Clear golden body with white frothy, lasting head. Quite high on carbonation. Quite fruity for the style, orange and fresh apricots. Much nicer than expected. Fresh, drinkable taste, light sweet. Lost its carbonation seemingly, making it a pretty smooth drink. It won’t below you away but it’s a high class brew. Very well done. Could drink this all day. Saison of lagers. (33cl bottle, 2,50 EUR)
