3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze

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

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours golden with an off-white head. Aroma of citrus and sour fruit. The flavor was not for me, overly sour. I am not a Lambic lover.

(Bottle) Pours hazy yellow. Nose of unripe berries and some wood. Tastes sour lemon and gooseberries. Ends with redcurrant and a woodiness. Dry.

The aroma had soury fermented fruit, slight citrus, and slight flowers. The beer poured and orange color with yellow highlights and thin lasting head and lacing. The flavor had soury fermented light fruit and slight citrus and flowers. The mouthfeel was light and crisp with good carbonation and a dry finish.

RBSG DC 2006: Bottle dated 1999. Straw-amber colored, cloudy body with a small white head. The aroma is sour fruit, barnyard, funk, horseblanket, and shows fresh strawberries when swirled. Taste is quite dry, lightly acidic, sour hay, horseblanket, light citrus, barndyard, lacto-brett flavors, along with some mild vinegar.

hmm .... my bottle is somewhat different from the ratebeer pic and is listed as 6% instead of 6.5& Outhouse aroma, with a hint of dryness and something you might expect in your attic. Taste is explosively dry and tart, followed by a massive sourness. High carbonation level, and very acid. Complex and unusual

Bottle - 22 January 2004. Pours a cloudy amber color with a very small white head one top. Aroma is clove, vinegar, oak, and pears. Flavor is high acidic and tart. Very dry taste, much like champagne. Tasting also sour apples and lime. A highly complex beer, never had anything quite like this before. I will have to try different lambics after this one.

12.7oz, Bottling Date 22 January 2004. Pours a cloudy orange with a two finger yellowish white head. Aroma of pears, light strawberries, lots of acidity, pepper, an aged oakiness (duh), and a fair amount of horse blanket funk. Very acidic and tart, also pretty oaky and extremely dry. Lingering bitterness akin to chewing on lemon rinds. Highly carbonated and medium bodied. I do believe that this is my highest rated gueuze.

Bottle at Cambrinus Rest, Brugges. 25/05/06. Slightly murky orangey golden body with an average head. Aged smell of vinegar, clove and pear. Tart taste with lime characters as well as some wheat also the aroma characters. I thought this was good but I struggled a bit with it.
