3 Fonteinen J & J Oude Geuze Roze

Formerly brewed at 3 Fonteinen
Style: Lambic - Gueuze
Beersel, Belgium

Well, I guess it’s time to rate this beer. First of all, thanks to Chris for sharing both the Blauw and the Roze, what an awesome experience. Pours a bright amber with a one finger off-white head. Aroma is tart, with hints of citrus fruits and apricot. At first sip, a spicy cinnamon and cardamom entrance leads towards a very tart barnyard funk. Finish is slightly medicinal and herbal in quality but is balanced with lemon tartness. I’m really glad to have had this.

Bottle, chris_o shindig. Orange, thin off-white head. Not as sharp, complex as the blauw. Very compex still, has a bite, and not as smooth. Well aged, very good.

Bottled - Chris O shindig 2007 - A hazy blonde coloured lambic with some whitish bits for a head. The aroma is excellent wih sweat socks, barnyards and tons of funk. The taste is lovely funk and actually has signs of the alcohol. Less funky than the Blauw but still delicious and tasty.

Rerate: Bottle at home - club tasting. Ekstra notes: high citrus, a bit too violent citrus. Bottle at RF07 - At the Plan B Tasting Session...... Thanks Guys !! I tasted this the week before at ØLbaren, and found it better the first time. Unclear amber - white head. Cactus, gooseberries, sugar, brown sugar, light sweetness, wood, grape, nice dryness. A bit too sweet. Round soft mouthfeeling. (5/2/6/3/15)

Bottled at Heeren van Liedekercke. Poured an almost clear (initially) amber with a short cap of white head. Aroma was rather subtle compared to the Blauw, but was still very well-done.. wet horse blanket upfront paired with a hint of lemon zest.. some dusty barnyard and woodiness make appearances as well. The flavor was more intense than the nose with refreshing vinegar tartness.. well-placed old barn feel to it.. long vinegar and lemony finish, again with some woody accents. Beautiful balance and feel on the palate with a long, drawn-out refreshing finish. Excellent stuff!

Bottle. A orange beer with a small white head. The aroma and taste is acidic and of wood and grape. Medium body with a very dry finish.

Bottle. Hazy amber coloured with a small off white head. Sweet aroma of wood, grapes and fruits with acidic notes. Light acidic flavour of grapes and wood. Tart finish.

Bottle 75 cl @ De Heeren van Liedekercke, Denderleeuw, Belgium. Hazy orange color with a large frothy good lacing mostly lasting off-white head. Aroma is grapefruit, wood, fruit / berry. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate acidic with a long duration, and a very dry finish. (fruit / berry sweet). Body is medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. Intense and very complex ;o))
