Commercial Description:
Blend of 1, 2 and 3 year old lambic. Fermented and lagered in oak vessels. In this bottle the young yeast is brought to sleep ('ingedoesjeld') so the original lambic flavors are preserved. This beer has no head, just like lambic. The lambic is brewed with 60% barley, 40% wheat, last years hop

Bière #13 au Mondial 08 (29/5/08), bouteille. Jaune vaseuse, pas de collet. Arome d’agrumes très sûrette, un peu de céréal malté. Goût très sûrette, agrumes légés, aucune effeversance et très peu d’arrière-goût. Pas assez de goût!

Bottle Feb, 2006 dating. Amber beer with a thin white head. Tart, oaky aroma with some malt. Tart, light fruit flavor with malt, light wheat. Lighter bodied and very drinkable. Almost a rubbery note to mouthfeel. Lingering tartness and a bit of malt. Not overly sour - has a light acetic background note.

Very lovely light honey yellow color pour with not a sign of head or carbonation. Nose is sharp and tart. Tart grapes, apple juice, some leathery funk and oak burried beneath the tart overtones. Flavor is much of the same, tart and grapey/appley with some nice dry wood tones. Ends dry and clean. Body is a little beefier than a lot of gueuzes. My only complaint is the total lack of carbonation. A little fizz would add a lot to this delicious beer.

Bottle at tasting at Chris Fischer’s (from Liars Club) house. Pours with a deep golden body topped by a thin head with a little lacing left behind. It’s sour and tart with a touch of underlying sweetness and a nice funk. Light bodied, crisp and dry.

Really nice not started gueuse bottled. If you never taste it, try as fast as you can, because this is the end of the stock ;)

Bottle. Another solid lambic brew from 3 Fonteinen. Was excited to find this. More on the mellow side with not as much thick body, this one is rather refreshing. Almost smooth to a point! Lemons, oranges, funk, and sour are all present, yet mildly blended together so well! Definitely hope to score another at some point!
