3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze is a blend of one-, two-, and three-year old lambics. Spontaneous fermentation, patient maturation in oak barrels, and continued evolution of the ecosystem in the bottle result in a distinctively complex and elegant natural beer. No two bottlings are alike, as there are multiple variables in the blending process, a variety of barrel sizes and shapes, differences in aged lambic proportions in the blend, etc. When cellared properly, 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze can be aged for several decades. The aromas and flavours will evolve from notes of vibrant fresh citrus, zesty and grassy notes to a mellow, oaky, stone fruit bouquet as the lambic continues to develop with time. Lambic and Geuze are living, cultural heritage rooted in the Zenne valley! Taste, savour, enjoy and experience this bottle fermented, unfiltered, unpasteurised and unadulterated beer with friends new and old!

30 May 2021. At 't Oud Clooster, Ghent; cheers to Anke! Asssemblage II, sz. 18/19, bottled 7/12/18. Hazy orange, stable, frothhy, off-white head. Aroma of dusty attic & damp cellar, rhubarb, musty horseblanket, wet grass, oak, old apricot, white grape, cheese. Taste has sour grape, plum & gooseberry in a funky yeast & cheesy profile with oak, horseblanket and lemony edges. Grassy hoppy finish, wet wood, slight vinegar, funky leather and lemon acid, very soft alcohol glow. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Masterpiece!
