3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze

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

The pour was pale yellow and slightly hazy. The head was white, fizzy and active. The aroma was tart citrus with light funk. The flavor is citrus, mild funk, some cheese and a bit of wood or oak. Thin body, refreshing to drink. Not bad.

Bottle shared with savvy1982... Thanks Kyle! Pours a bright yellow with a large white head. Aroma is earthy and tart. Mushrooms, earth, lemons, oak, and horse blanket. Tastes very similar. Palate is very nice. Simple, biting, abrasive, enjoyable. Just not as complex as I would like.

Bottle, shared with hobbersr and macadem. Pours hazy gold, with an incredibly persistent thin white head, lovely lacing. Aroma is very earthy, dead leaves and the dirty ground, oak acid, funk, mushrooms. And yet it has a bright sunshine and lemon/grapefruit side to it as well. Piercingly dry and austere in the mouth, quite sour for a gueuze. Still very earthy, plenty of acid and tannin, mild oak, a shade simple, especially in the mouth, but nonetheless, an excellent gueuze.

Bottle Date 02/01/08 Golden honey colored body with a thick foam head. Super funky bret nose. Lots of carbonation. Tart, citrus, acidic, sour flavor. Excellent beer, a bit over carbonated.

2007 bottle, shared with Narnad. Red-orange, hazy, with a small white head. Aroma: some soft cheeses, sourdough, yeast. Flavor full of grapefruit and grapefruit rind - very, deliciously tart. Cakey finish. Delicious on a hot day.

I wish I had kept better track of my trades and extras, and some generous trader sent this one from my wants as an extra, much appreciated and cheers to you sir! This bottle has a date of February 2, 2007. Appears a pretty beautiful and honey colored liquid with some very active carbonation. The medium head dissolves off into a tin layer of cloudy goodness. A good looking Gueuze. Had the head hung around a little longer, this would be a five. Smells of funky lemons, cherries, maybe a hint of apples. No booze or hops present. Fairly good and funktastic. Taste is similarily funky, lemon zest way in the back end. Extremely thin and dry on the mouth, and bubbly. Some puckering way in the back end. Acidic sourness is present. A very good drink and a nearly perfect mouthfeel. I curve this one high, shame about that huge take being damaged at their brewery by a faulty thermometer. Great Gueuze.

Slightly hazy light orange-yellow pour with lots of carbonation and a fluffy white had on top. Funky sour aroma with woody earthy notes. Citrus and lemon as well. Sour flavor with a bitter herbal finish. Good amount of sourness.

2007 version (2 year aged). Pours a cloudy orange with a thin, tan head that is retained from the very high carbonation. Aroma is a very strong with a sour, citrus, farmhouse, light wheat and a bit of funk. Flavor is has a very strong sourness, grapefruit citrus bite, lots of farmhouse funk and ends with a very dry and tart ending. Feeling is semi-smooth, great density for the style, very high but fine carbonation. Overall a great sourness to the brew combined with a nice tart ending really make this an ideal brew for the warm months.
