UPDATED: JAN 20, 2021 A : Funk, woody, a touch dusty, green apple. App: hazy light copper no head t/p: Thin body with long acidic finish. Soft to moderate carbonation. O: Nice little blend

UPDATED: DEC 30, 2020 [Blend no° 24 - season 17/18] 375ml bottle. Clear amber with a thin foamy white head. Flavors are stone fruits, dust, funk, oak, lemon and apple peel with herbal and acetic notes. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, slick texture.

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2020 2014 375ml Pours darker, murkier, than I have seen from 3F before. An orangy reddish hue, like a dusty clementine peel. Thin white ring of froth, not much carbonation. The smell is classic 3F, very apricot forward. Loads of pear as well. The cascade of fruit continues: pineapple, mango, persimmons, lemon — sherberty. A bit of lilac and rose water. The aged lambic does show up in the form of dusty, cobwebby, woody attic smell that pervades the nose. Hints of ginger, lemongrass, sage, maybe a bit of jalapeno? It's an invigorating smell, like a zinger tea. On the tongue it's surprisingly mellow. Again, I'm reminded of tea. This time it's more like a Yunnan black tea, with that fuller body and light caramelly sweetness. Chewy, marshmallowy. Zesty, a lighter sourness, softened by a topping of fresh whipped cream, like lemon meringue pie. Browned buttery crust. The texture is quite flat, but has just enough tingle to kick up the sharper flavors. The ending has a touch of bitterness — like artichoke. An aftertaste of wild strawberries. At first I was a bit lukewarm on this (by 3F standards), but the more I drink it the more I peel back the layers of this complex brew. There is so much to uncover, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface and I've made my way through the bottle easily. A mesmerizing brew.

UPDATED: JUN 24, 2020 Shared with my friends as our 4th drink of the evening, trying something different than the previous ones, I wanted to share this one in good company. True to its style, a treat.

UPDATED: MAY 10, 2020 Ciupke gorsze niż to poprzednie, trochę soku spod brzoskwiń, bardziej wytrawne, nieco pustsze. Trochę nafty w aromacie.

UPDATED: MAY 9, 2020 W aromacie dzikość umiarkowana, brzoskwinia, lekka mleczność. Barwa pomarańczowa, piana ładna. W smaku pełne, słodowe, lekko do średniej dzikość, nieco jabłek. Musujące. Bardzo fajne.

UPDATED: APR 27, 2020 Fanatyk Piwa is drinking a 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Golden Blend (2014) by Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen at Untappd at Home Bardzo czyste, mega wytrawne, kwaśność średnia, funky, cytrusy, lekkie drewno. Przypomniało czemu uwielbiam 3F.

UPDATED: APR 14, 2020 Vintage 2011. Half champagne bottle from Piwa regionalne in Katowice. Niewielka, praktycznie minimalna piana, ale tworzy koronke w grubym szkle do Geuze. Jest dosc ciemne jak na lambicka, barwa morelowo rdzawa. W aromacie juz czuc zebrane i trzymane w wilgotnej piwnicy sporo czasu gruszki, nektarynki, brzoskwinie. W smaku kwaskowe, szczypiace winno-octowe ale ze spora dominacja miazszu owocow pomaranczowych miekkich, mialem wrazenie jakby to bylo peche lambic. Ogolnie wytrawne taninowe wykonczenie, bardzo dobre choc inne geuze, mile zaskoczenie. Pairing with my easter dinner.

UPDATED: APR 1, 2020 Tuesday, March 31, 2020. 'Golden Blend Assemblage n°24'. Bottle, 37.5cL (2/2018 > 2 years old). 6.7%. Purchase ('Bier Market', Nantes (44), FR). Home. With my parents & Cyril & Virginie & co... online. A golden clear beer ; nice small stormy bubbly ; medium white head ; short retention. Wood, light wild leather character, 'stinky' barnyard for sure !, watery yes , light fruits (plum). Medium to sharp dry fresh sour ; thirst-quencher ; light sweet note. Lack of depth. Light to medium rising body, thin texture, average gaseous, funky wild dry sour lasting finish. Overall, very good, great ! 'Sharp wild watery sour' feeling ; 'crystalline' feeling... I expected more of this gueuze ; maybe I should have waited more time...
