Bottle 2006 Appearance: no head, cloudy. Nose: lime, fruity, brett, gingerbread? Taste: lemon, tart, you have a more ’lambic-like’ taste, but nevertheless a good one!

Bottle at home with my wife. 2006 Vintage. Pour is hazy orangey-yellowish with no head. Somewhat faint aroma; kind-of gueuzy, a touch funky, citrusy, acetic, white wine, oak, and sweet tarts. Taste is very watered-down, faintly citrusy, lemon juice, light funk, and vinegar with a lightly tart fnish. Thin body with no carbonation; completely still. Definitely becomes more funky and sour as it warms, but the stillness really brings this one down. Probably my least favorite 3F beer ever.

2006 500 ml bottle (sample). Pours calm murky lemon orange color with no head. Aroma is stinky sour funk cheese wood and wet corks. Taste is puckering sour funk cheese and leather with wet corks. Palate us thin and slick and very dry. Nice!

375ml bottle from Bieresgourmet.be

2010 vintage, bottled on 01 DEC 2010 - Pours clear orange with a fizzy white head. Aroma of farmyard, tart fruits, sourness and hints of oak and wood. Taste has notes of tart fruits, light sourness, farmyard, oak and hints of hops. Finish is smooth, slightly tart with mild sourness that kicks in late. Quite smooth and balanced, quite easy to drink gueuze.

Poured from a 750ml bottle at a bottle share. Thank you bearded guy. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a white head of foam. The head leaves almost immediately. The aroma is funky and peppery. I love that. Taste is sour with a peppercorn nuance coming through throughout. Really enjoyed this one.

kraddel (840) - deurne, BELGIUM - DEC 15, 2012
this beer is ment to not be carbonated, but that doesnt change the fact that i prefer carbonated... anyway , since i LOVE 3 fonteinen, i wanted to try this one myself! so thanx to 77ships for sharing this ! pours blonde coloured, smell is very 3 fonteinen. so is the taste.. the best ( only? ) way to describe it to me is a gone-flat- geuze 3 fonteinen ( wich i love) . best non-carbo beer i drank , but still prefer the geuze over this.. but who knows, in time...
