3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze

Brewed by 3 Fonteinen
Style: Lambic - Gueuze
Beersel, Belgium

Bottle. The color was amber-like, however, a fairly light one. The foam was large, white and fluffy. Lovely aromas with a characteristic odor of Geuze. A lot of funk and lemon as well as wood and earth. Beautiful sour taste with the taste of lemon and apple was quite influential. Yeast and wood was there, too. Clearly, a refreshing and lättdrucken Gueze.

Aroma: Dusty leather, cedar sawdust, cigar box, antique books, very papery smelling... Windex and urinal cake arrive later. Taste: Bitterness, dryness and sourness all balanced. Sensation of bitting into a grapefruit peel, oak is strong yet tighly tucked in with esters and acids. 10 3 6 5 17

Bottle brought by emacgee, and poured into everyone else’s glass first, such that we had to then pour back some into generous Ethan’s own glass, selfish bastards that we are. This is a beer to be greedy about (or a beer to share with good friends... one in the same, right?). Pours hazy to cloudy yellow-orange, depending on how far down the bottle. Surprisingly lovely and prominent head. Funky barnyard, tart lemon and apple, oaky, white grapefruit in oodles. Lovely, lovely beer.

I can’t remember who shared this (Ethan?) but thanks much for the treat! Cloudy and rustic as hell pour, with all kinds of yeast and sedimental material contributing to a lively concoction. Fluffy white head, and a huge tart nose with funk cubed. Nicely full bodied, tons of wood and grapefruit, and a big sour apple kiss to finish things off. Top notch gueuze.

Bottle. Yellow unclear body. Huge fluffy white head. Sourish aroma, a particular sweetness that is hard to describe. Very sour flavour, after a little while a strange maltiness. Long sour finish, like champagne. A litte too sour. (At home, 010709)

37,5 cl. Orange/amber colour. Small head. Lemon nose. Tart, wood aroma. Dry and sour. Ending is just awesome. Love this!

2008 bottle, orange with a nice soapy head that diminish quickly, "wet" aroma, some olives, grapes and lemons can be sensed (very pleasant), dry and sour flavor, zesty on the tongue with almost no sweetness, delicate vinous notes with some lemon and hay, low bitterness towards the end. Full bodied. Great stuff

Bottle. Pours a hazy dark orange, sparkly and fizzy tan head that dissipates quickly to a ring. Aroma and flavour is heavy on wood, quite fruity, with notes of sour lemon, earth, bread, yeast, and loads of cheese like funk. A refreshing and drinkable sour. Body is light, carbonation is prickly, but fittingly so.
