lusikka (2062) - Tampere, FINLAND - FEB 4, 2012
750 ml bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, Tampere.
Pours a cloudy golden colour with a small white head. Aroma of barnyard, lemon, peach and . Flavour of pale malts, barnyard, sour lemon, light hops and sweetish fruits. Medium bodied, quite high carbonation and a light citrusy finish with mild bitterness. Summery and refreshing.

Bottle at Akkurat. Stockholm, September 28th, 2011.
Lightly musty and oxidated and first, beneath that flowery and slightly sweet with a big dash of sour apples. A bit funky - Just how I like it. Body is light and the taste is sourish with a distant sweetness. It’s very clean and refreshing which is something I didn’t expect. Some grass and barnyard in the finish.

77ships (735) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - OCT 16, 2011
UPDATED: OCT 30, 2011 2006 Vintage unlabeled 75 cl. bottle/shared@Kulminator: brief sweet, fruity, yeast, hoppy upfront, bitter (Kerkomse triple) followed by musty, lots of horse blanket, sour lemons, dust, slight grains, cobwebs (3F lambic) with a dominant strong, zesty, spunky bitterness like akin to what you get at the 3F Geuze, fuity, bitter, very hoppy, lemony, musty sour, slightly prickly, really digging this combination of a blond ale and lambic, should be done more frequently/// sampled two more different bottles, the proportions between the two beers does seem vary quite a lot, last one 3F kind of overwhelmed but still great, like it more when the ale is featured more

Benjii (1680) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - SEP 29, 2011
75cl, 2006 bottle at Kulminator. Needed 15 minutes in the fridge before we could drink it to prevent an explosion. Pours a blonde colour with a beautiful, pillowy white head that dies down to moderate. Classic geuze nose of horse-blanket, leather tobacco pouch, cigar box, lemon and grass. Brilliantly musty with horse-blanket again, Brett, leather and cigar box notes. Unreal! Moderate carbonation and a light CO2 prickle. A foamy mouth-feel with a musty, lemon citrus linger. Dry finish. Only mildly sour, all the classic geuze qualities without the sourness. Really interesting.

laiti (998) - Tampere, FINLAND - AUG 10, 2011
Draught @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 18.3.2011
Aroma is very earthy with manure notes, but in a good way. Flavour has hops and some sourness from lambic. Too much CO2 on palate. Nice one.

pantanap (2728) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - NOV 4, 2010
Reuss. 3fonteinen blend called .750ml bottle consumed at kulminator. Unlabeled bottle and listed as 6.5% abv. Description reports that this is a blend of a belgian ale and lambic from 3font.... Pours a light hazy pale golden light brown...Aroma is lightly guezelike that collaborate with a sweeter light grain and lemon accents, some pear to boot... Flavors are very lightly tart with a soft profile overall that seems like a combination of a gueze and a lightl hopped earthy pale ale. Carbonation is effervescent and spritely carbonated. Body is on the lighter side but works well with the liveliness of the brew itself. 7/4/7/4/15
