Pours bright golden orange with a finger thick white head. Huge funk citrus tart nose like grapefruit and lemon juices combined, with a hint of oak. Same in the mouth puckering flavor with a dry oaky finish.

375ml corked bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange with a foamy white head. Aroma is funk, yeasts, sour, astringent, lemon, asprin, acidic goodness. Flavor is asprin, funk, yeasts, sour, lemon, asprin, acid, dust, mold. Im not sure what it is about 3fonteinen but after I drink their in house lambics (not their blends of others) I detect a cough medicine like aftertaste. Could just be me though. That aside as it could just be how my mouth reacts to something in their beer this is a fabulous oude gueuze.

Bottle. A light fruity and sour smell , some yeast - very nice. Ar rather large white creamy-foamy head with a long duration. The body is cloudy and orange. The first taste is creamy, very sour, some sulfur. The finish is mild and long. The body is creamy, light to medium with a lot of carbonation. A really nice Oude Geuze.

Bottle. Fruit, citrus yeast and some strange rubber in aroma. Unclear yelloworange colour with white head. Sparkling mouthfeel from rich carbonation. Bitter flavour with a sour aftertaste. Grapefruitlike.

(75 cl bottle) Wonderful orange colour, big foamy head, heavy carbonation. Very sour taste which mellows out perfectly. Classic.

Botella. Belgian beer no. 600. Courtesy of Anker, thanks! Rather cloudy deep amber golden colour. Lovely tart fruity citrus aroma (in the Cantillon way). Good rather mild tart fruity and yeasty flavour with citrus and barn. Well balanced geuze.

Bottle. Pours hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is hay, dry citrus and stable. Flavor is dry citrus, with dusty notes and a smooth aftertaste. Well balanced - nice.

Bottle shared by Anker. Hazy golden body with a small white head. Complex aroma of citrus, fresh fruit, barnyard, acid and Dijon mustard. Its medium bodied. Acidic and dry flavour with citrus notes. Overall its a very well crafted gueuze.
