3 Fonteinen Doesjel

Brewed by 3 Fonteinen
Style: Lambic - Gueuze
Beersel, Belgium

Orangey with a fast disappearing white head. Strong aroma, mellow tartness, oaky. very good gueuze indeed.

This one has a nice golden color with almost no head. Powerful sour/funky aroma with a heavy dose of citrus and a classic gueuze scent - very inviting! Deliciously sour with a nice acidity - lemon, funk, and a nice oakiness. Another solid one from 3 Fonteinen that I could drink a ton of!

Bottle 37,5 cl. Hazy orange/copper coloured body. Diminishing white head. Aroma of basement, yeast, apple and lemon fruit. Flat carbonation. The flavor is heavy sour, tart, bitter and lightly sweet.

Bottle at Poechenenellekelder, Brussels, 24-07-08 Poured hazy golden orange. Soft lemonyness musty wet leathery aroma, some oakiness wonderfully refreshing and tart, its also quite sharp at the end, lovely.

2006: Pour is hazed deep golden apple juice color, and completely still...smell is lightly funky and tart with lots of citrus and faint sugary notes...the sourness in the flavor only comes in on the back side and it is mild....sweet and citric almost...not sweet like artificially sweet, but sweet none the less...

Bottled at home. Bottle date 17-02-2006. Hazy orange/golden coloured, no head. Typical lambic-nose, smells like a farm, fruity notes. Sour flavour, very "old", complex, but not extremely. Somewhat thin mouthfeel, perhaps because of the lack of carbonation. Lasting sour and somewhat tart finish. Nice lambic, but nevertheless i think better gueuzes are out there.

Bottled Feb. 23,2006. This golden lambic ale poured with a thin off-white head and a sharp citric aroma. There were bubbles rising from the bottom to the top of my geuze tumbler. Thre is a sour fruit flavor witha a bitter yeast finish and oak undertones.

Splendida gueuze atipica con un nome che non riuscirò mai a pronunciare: grazie mille Sergio (Mr. Chiodi) per aver condiviso con me questa fantastica bottiglia dopo una jam session leggermente ubriaca.
