3 Fonteinen Doesjel

Pours from the Bottle completely flat with no popping cork with a reddish orange color almost non-exisiting dissipating head that turns into bubbles along the outer edge. Smells like Barnyard funk, doctors office and oak, its sour and stings the mucous membranes. Entirely too flat, mouth feel reminds me of tap water, smooth and unclean, but its very dry. Tastes like what it is, a flat lambic - geuze with very little complexity. I need to try a carbonated bottle, I think with some crisp carbonation this beer would be fantastic but as of right now I have a poor impression of it.

Pours a slightly muddy dark orange with a transparent pearl necklace on its head. Smelled like the basement of cottage I used to visit in the summer when I was a young lad. It also smells a bit like sour blood orange. No carbination whasoever, so it has the consistency of tap water. Mostly unripe nectarine and peach flavors but more of essences among the sourness rather than actual flavors. I’m impressence with the nectarine layer there, actually...quite subtle, yet it seems to give the drink significant depth...the sourness is not forgiving...with carbination I think this would be mindblowing, but the lack of carbination almost makes it become an effort to drink more, even if the taste is fantastic.

The pour reveals a cloudy yellow color with almost no head. The aroma is funky, tart and fruity. The flavor is tart, mildly funky and fruity, interesting. The body is light to medium with an oily texture and low carbonation. This is far from being one of my favorites from 3 Fonteinen, but it’s still a solid gueuze.

Bottle corked & caged from Dilly Deli. Poured hazy copper color with a minimal off-white head that virtually diminished. Moderate sour friut yeast aroma. Medium body with a dry texture and fizzy carbonation. Medium sour citrus flavor with a medium sour finish of moderated duration. This is a standout for style beer.

bottle, yellow colour (but not very inviting to drink it), sour and fruity smell. Taste: sour, fruity, oak, lemon, grapefruit. A decent gueuze!

Bottle, 37,5 cl. Some beers just don’t look like top beers. This Doesjel from 3 Fonteinen is the example of it: a bear with no head, OK, it was on the bottle. But once poured out this beer looks like piss with a light-brown colour like someone having a problem with his kidneys (or his pancreas) or having an inflammation of the bladder. Very unattractive beer. The aroma is sour and strong, but also has some fruity notes and tastes a bit woody, liely because it was fermented on oak tree barrels. Very special smell, and so is tha taste: it is sour, but agreeable sour and not just sour to be sour. It is also light carbonated and also has the woody oak taste. However the beer lacks presentation ad pallet, I really like this beer.

Aroma of yeast, must, basement, some citrus, vinegar, and cider. Golden yellow color with very little head. Flavors mature on the palate and you dig in. Some cider, pickle juice, tart citrus, light woodiness, and some salt. Mellows as your mouth adjusts. Good.

Funky and and mellow nose with light acidic flavours, less drinkable then others because of lack of carbonation and refreshing citrus but still nice with allot of wood, lemon, mellow grape acid and funk all blended rather nicely.
