4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Another highlight of the "end of the world" event for me. We cracked a 2002 and 2003 vtg side by side compliments of who else but the sour guru, Frank. This review will be for the 2003 which i actually like slightly better then the ’02. Hazy gold pour with fluffy white head and lacing. Aromas were funky yeast, lemons, barn, dusty wooden blinds, and even some syrup. Taste is funky lemons, oak, leather, citrus and apple. Medium body and carb. Finishes slightly dry and long lasting with puckery sourness. Another homerun from 3Font.

Vintage 2007. Pours a hazy and orange beer with a weak white head. The aroma is fruit, basement, some tart and grapefruit. The flavor follows the nose with additional bitterness. The palate is fruity with bitterness. Overall a good beer.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
750ml bottle dated 11/30/2006 thanks to grownfool. I’ve heard a couple people say this vintage is no good, don’t believe them. Hazy orange like a gueuze would. Smells like citrus, hay, barn, phenols. Tastes pretty great, sour citrus with abut of plastic at the end but damn was this easy to knock back! Overall I lived it and wish I had more. It’s really too bad gueuze isn’t priced more like IPA because I would hawg it down.

4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
750 ml 2007 (december) bottle. Dark gold pour with a fluffy white head. Classic 3F funk but much stronger. Damp basement, earth, sweaty feet, high quality Parmesan (well aged high quality hard Italian cheese), and lactic sourness. The earthy, musty funk translates well Into the flavor. It is incredibly complex and well balanced by lactic acid, citrus pith and a little bit of lemon flesh. Mild astringency with a dry finish and medium carbonation nicely complement the funk and sour. Awesome beer and I’m glad I have a couple more for the cellar. Far superior to valentines day version.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Golden with white head. Aroma has typical lambic funk but much more intense than a typical geuze, very musty with some sharp notes. Taste is again extremely intense funk, earthy must. Extremely sour, an assault on the mouth. An intense beer, delicious.
