3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze

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

As dry as a beverage can be. Some of the most sensuous, lively gueze is produced by this killer lambic maker. Lemony. Simply exceptional. Amber colored and gorgeous. Lovely looking beer with killer body.

Delicious funky citric and wooden geuze, cheesy, leathery and guess somewhat bloody and metallic. Very tart flavour, vinegary, lemony and extremely dry.

Wrote my whole review to find out I was not signed in for some reason. Zesty sour lemon wheat taht barnyard funk that woulda made me gag 2 years ago. Goes down extremely well for a sour brew. Delicous.

Bottle. 2006 Vintage. Cheesy barnyard funk aroma. Wonderful. Slightly meaty and vegetal. Definite hay and wet grass notes. A hint of charred nuts. Pours cloudy orange with a creamy white head.. Tart and sour flavor. Lemon zesy. Cheese. Rubber. Kombucha tea. Wheat and yeast. Creamy with excellent fizzy carbonation. I have a v. 2000 that I’m just itching to get in to. This is great stuff.

(bottle 08/04/2005) Thanks Nadia! Appearance: Copper gold and crystal clear (at least the first glass was) thick moussy head. Aroma: Fruity and yogurty, berries and wheat, light sourness, Camembert, strawberries, rhubarb and leather. Flavour: Briefly sweet but then tart and clean, acidic with a horsey brett character. No residual sweetness. LIght wineyness. Wood and rhubarb, good wheat character. Mouthfeel: Very light with a fluffy effervescence. Sharp but pleasant sourness. Overall: Clean sour and sharp acidity with complex wheat and horsey brett character. Finishes light and leaves a fruity sourness. Great refreshing summer beer.

Now this is a nice Gueuze. Bitter and sour, with lemon and lime flavors jumping out at you. Finishes sweet with a nice natural wheat flavor. One of the best Gueuzes I’ve had, absolutely recommended for those who appreciate the style.

[593-20070908] 1pt9.4floz @ Sourfest 2007 (Buffalo, NY, w/ rudolf, frylock, IPFreely, jerc, swoopjones). Fairly burnt popcorn aroma with a bit of yeast. Hazy, brown orange body with a long-lasting foamy white head. More burnt popcorn in the flavour with some sour citrus juice. Medium body is fairly sour. Nice gueuze but don’t care for the over-cooked movie chow. (7/4/7/3/15) 3.6
Cue point in conversation where ranting commenced about "the scumbags in the ’Falls..."

[1810B-20081021] 375mL bottle. Smells like cheesy, burning plastic and sour yeasty grains bread. Clear, medium orange body with a long-lasting foamy white head. Sour grainy yeast bread flavour. Medium body. Reminds me of lemon-scented gym socks and cheese. (8/3/7/3/15) 3.6
