COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Golden Blend is made with 4 year old Lambic that accounts for 25 % of it’s contents, the rest of the blend is made up by a "secret" combination of 1, 2 and 3 year old Lambic.
The exact mixture is only known by the master-blender Armand himself.
The name "Golden Blend" is not far away from the truth, in fact, the 4 years of maturation in oak-wooden barrels is making this particular Lambic very expensive.
Due to the "evaporation" through the barrels, only a small percentage of the lambic is left over after 4 years of maturing.
The 2015 version (bottle date 12/03/2014) has 7.5% ABV (although some labels say 6%)

UPDATED: NOV 29, 2018 Panel 3F w BroPub - butelka z 2016 roku. Woo, piwo strzela po ścianach. Aromat dużo bardziej grzeczny niż w klasycznym geuze z 3F, ułożony. Znacznie mniej aromatów klasycznie dzikich, ale i owocowych estrów jakby mniej, niestety. W smaku kwas średni, lekki ocet nawet chyba przy finiszu. Za duży ze mnie lambiczny lamus, żeby docenić balans tego piwa. Piwo do powtórzenia za kilka lat.

(2015) Barwa złota, piwo klarowne.
Aromat średnio-intensywny, dużo nut dzikich: siano, łąka, koń. W tle kwaśne żółte owoce.
W smaku wytrawne, mocno ziołowe, z nieco spokojniejszą strona dziką. Finisz cierpki, lekko taninowy.
3.3
Sampler. Nieco dzikości, ale dominują nuty czipsów serowych. W smaku nawet niezłe, niska kwaśność.
4.4
Bottle at 3F. Pours a deep gold, with a a fizzy off-white head that fades quickly. Aromas are heavy funk, light barnyard, cobweb, leather, hay, light bread. Taste follows with waves of funk, coupled with a medium tart note. Hay, leather, light dough, light earth. Hints of wood and grape skin. Lovely beer.

UPDATED: JUL 7, 2018 Bottle 0.375l at Linh's Birthday party. 07.07.2018. Zaandam, The Netherlands. Pour it dark golden color with small white head. Aroma barnyard, straw, nice grains note. Taste thick, smooth note, grainy feel, light sourish feel at the end, perfect balanced. Top!

Bottle, at Be Hoppy 3F tasting, Madrid. Bottled on 05/02/2016. Pours golden with white head. Was a bit surprised with the carbonation, the cork went to the ceiling. Citrus, lemon, funk, barnyard, some leather, wood. Opens up as it warms and gets more and more complex. Dry with moderate+ sourness. Soft texture. Medium bodied.

Vintage 2011, tack David! Lite mörkare guldfärgad smådisig utan skum. Fint djup och komplexitet i aromen med snygga funkiga toner, gröna druvor, syrliga gröna äpplen, lätt halmig och en ton av sesamkaka och honung. Mellanstor kropp, lätt oljig samtidigt som den visar lite tecken på ålder. I smaken samma som doften. Riktigt utjämnad och fin med snygg balans mellan syrlighet och sötma utan att den ena tar ut den andra. Fin komplexitet och riktigt gott. Det här vill man dricka mer utav!
