3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze

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

2004 bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange with no head but lively carbonation. Aroma of spicy horse blanket, oak, lemon and grapefruit. Taste is citrusy wet barnyard with just a mild amount of sourness and spicy oak aftertaste. Thin spritzy mouthfeel. Very good.

An all around great Geuze. Very herbal and earthy. The first sip is full of spritz and tartness. The finish lasts long and is full of wet straw and intense lemony barnyard aromas and flavors. Delicious, it’s amazing all the many levels of flavor that this beer offers. Proper serving temperature is crucial.

bottle - Pours orange with no head and just a little fine carbonation. The aroma was funky and other than that I didn’t notice much else, but it was a good aroma. The flavor was kind of bitter and sour with lots of funk. Medium bodied with very low carbonation noticeable in the mouthfeel, this beer is a fine example of a gueuze, which is definitely not my favorite style.

Spicey horseblanket, acidic on the nose. Pours blonde with a thick white head. Tart honey, earthy farmhouse with tart citrus. Great beer!

Courtesy redlight. Thanks brent. Pours a cloudy orange red with a small white head. The smell is of monster acidity and sourness with a touch of lemons, just like a good gueze should smell like. The taste has a decent sourness to it but not as much as you would expect. It wasnt cheek puckering at all. Nice earthy sourness to it, lemons and citrus fruit dominate the flavor characters. It almost seems like its a bit more mellow than its counterparts. Good gueze.

Bottle at the MicroBar in Clapham (London), slightly hazy light amber with a frothy white head. Aroma was yeasty, with ground cloves and peppery spice. A brilliant sourness all the way through, tart fruit flavour with a yeasty background.

Nice slightly hazy golden color. Light, fizzy carbonation with some streaks of tiny bubbles on the surface. Aroma of muscat grapes, grains, a fruity sourness, a slight musty funkiness and some acetic acid. Intense fruity flavors with grains, a hint of woodiness, a musty sourness, apple cider vinegar, and a bit of bitterness. Very dry and clean finish. Hugely fizzy and champagne-like soft mouthfeel. Really great stuff, I could drink this endlessly. Immediately after each sip, I wanted more.

Pours golden orange with a white 1 inch head. Nice, sticky lacing. Nose is lemon zest, orange, lawn clippings, and yeast. High carbonation, medium body and cloying mouth feel. Tastes are citrus, fresh yeast, sour apple, tree bark. Crazy sour, just how I like it. Nice complexity and acidity. Another great Gueuze.
