3 Fonteinen Beersel Blond

3 Fonteinen
Brewed at De Proefbrouwerij
Style: Belgian Ale
Beersel, Belgium

A hazy orange beer with a small disappearing head. The aroam is a sour wheat aroma and so is the flavor. This beer is OK for a blonde, but somewhat boring and nothing special.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of joergen. Lightly hazy pale golden with an off-white head. Aroma of yeast and some coriander. Medium body, sweetish fruity with plenty of yeast and a little sulphur. Dry, lightly bitter finish. 130608

Golden coloured with loads of small yeast sediment particles floating around and a brief creamy head. Vanilla and berries in the nose. Medium bodied, smooth and honeyish with caramel flavour. The sweetness grows towards the finish.

33 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy yellow with a slowly diminishing white head. Light yeasty and mild citric wheat note. Flavour is solid yeasty and followed with a nice set of wheat esters, works quite well together here. Ends again with a smooth yeasty flavour and a light spice note.

Draught @ 9th Belgian Beer Weekend, Brussels. Clear medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate yeasty, fruit, light hoppy, citrus, grapefruit. Flavor is moderate sweet and light acidic with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Refreesing and sharp. (020907)

Bottle, 7%. Bready aroma with a little phenolic clove. Hazy golden colour. Big, stable, creamy white head. The flavour is mostly of clove, with some CO2. Quite peppery aftertaste. Distinct, uncompromising bitterness. On the brink of getting plastic/band aid phenols. A bit like a stronger Hefeweizen.

Bottled. Hazy yellowish orange colour with huge fluggyish bubbly head. Aroma is fruits, yeast, spices and some caramel malts. Flavour is fruits, yeast,fudge, some grass and spices. A quite wheaty feeling to it in the finish and aftertaste, along with quite burning spices. Pleasantly balanced Belgian blond.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow coloured with a small white head. Aroma of fruits, brett, spices and hops. Fruity flavour of spices, hops and brett. Bretty and hoppy finish.
