3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze

Hazy, light amber color beneath a small white head. Sharp tartness and a light acidity accompanied by some citrus and hints of grass and earth. Very crisp and refreshing geuze. I could enjoy many glasses on a warm day.

Thanks to Michael from Ølbutikken. Bottle. Orange colour with a great with head. Aroma of a nice blend of sourness, wood and fresh fruit. Very smooth flavour of sourness, acidity, lemon and citrus. Ends up very refreshing. Not bad at all.

700th rating, thx to SoLan. Poured a very cloudy orange body with a small head. Aroma was barnyard action, tart, acidic, wood, some fruit. Flavor is the same, not as interesting as the Girardin I had a few weeks ago, but still very enjoyable. This has a tart dry finish. After having Rodenbach Grand Crus last night this was very easy to drink.

750mL bottle. dated Feb. 2004. tried the kriek from 3f a while back and was trying to save the geuze for as long as I could but I was really craving it today after trying three less than mediocre brews. Poured a hazy orange into my Gueze Boon tumbler. thick, carbonating, fluffy white head. strong funky aroma--a bit of oak tartiness, lemons, limes, and other citrus which is not imediately discernable. quite drinkable, lacks the intense sour flavor of the cantillons (which is something i crave), but still a wonderful geuze. Have a 1999 bottle of this stuff in the cellar, looking forward to trying an aged bottle down the road.

Bottle: Orangish caramel, very hazy, thin sudsy white head, a few rings of lacing.   Strong oaken nose, seems dry and tart.   Soft oaken flavor, smooth, definitely dry, and even a bit tangy.   Full bodied, moderate mouthfeel.   Not as spritzy as other examples, likely because of its age.   Sour finish, a bit puckering even, and quite dry.   Great stuff, but I still prefer Girardin Black Label to this one.

The nose off this was insane, outstanding, raw cooking apples, lemons and lime zest, yeasty, something seriously good. Taste was similarly complex though i have to say maybe a bit too sour, the hops giving a seriously dry finish. RERATE: 1999 Vintage. Holy shit man, this is outstanding by now. The sourness has mellowed but still key, amazing experiance, soo complex and draws me bck in for more, my god i could do this all day every day.

Veyr nice, sour sweet flavor, a little dry and very bubbling. The colour was somewhat amber, but It is very great.

Bottled on 28 Feb 2004. The cork got away from me. Damn near put a hole in my buddy’s ceiling. And a gusher to boot. But all was well. Hazy straw gold color pourd into an Orval glass. Lush white head. The aroma is full of horse blanket, sweat socks and oak. Nice. Very tart, and I thought it developed some sweetness as it warmed. Not as dry as the other one I tried. I think I’ll buy another bottle and sit on it for a bit.
