3 Fonteinen Doesjel

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

Bottle at Akkurat. Deep golden body with no head whatsoever. Aroma is sour acidic but also contains some sweetness like sweet fruit. Light honey and light dust in aroma as well. The flavour is light acidic with a bunch of fruit and ends up bit sweet but still crispy and tart.

Sampled on 9/10/2009. This Lambic gueuze pours a apple juice yellow gold color from a corked and caged 375ml bottle. The beer was bottled on Feb 23, 2006. A very minimal to small white foamy head. The aroma is tart, funky, horse blanket, musty and sweet. There is also a touch of oak. A medium bodied lambic/gueuze. The malts are fruity and sweet, with a lot of tartness and funkiness. There is some woodiness at the finish. There is just a touch of carbonation here, it just hits the tongue and disappears. It kind of mellow and somewhat unassuming, which I assume is from the blending. Very nice, very drinkable gueuze, its tart and funky without being over the top. Yet the tartness seems to intensify as it warms. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is tart and funky.

Another brew courtesy of Woody, thanks for sharing! Honey pour with no head or lacing. Mild sour on the nose with a sprite like fizz. Aged sour with wood textures, esters with some citrus notes. Slight dry tart finish.

Brewed in Belgium... Courtesy of Woody, thanks again !!! Pours a lite orange color with zero head. Aroma of lemons, sour apples, grapes and yeast. Taste is also of sour apples, straw, lemons and oak. Mouthfeel was thin, dry and the finish had some sour bitterness. Overall, This was a pretty decent beer.

Low carbonation. No bother. Tart. Apple. A blend obviously, so not the gueuze you expect, but nice.

Bottle shared by BA’s Woody Chandler. Poured clear gold with no head. Lots of oak and lemon on the nose along with a bit of straw. The taste was quite sour with notes of lemon, oak, straw, and cereal. Very dry, low carbonation, very tasty.

375ml bottle. Pours a hazy yellowish orange color topped by only a thin white film even with a vigorous pour. The aroma shows hints of soured apples, lemons, barnyard funk, and a weird burnt rubber smell. The flavor followed suit with the soured apples and lemons mixed with the funk, and more weird rubber tastes. I believe the yeasts have started to each other to cause this. Medium bodied and pretty low on carbonation but still drinkable and refreshing. I had high hopes for this one, but was a little disappointed. I hope to try a better bottle next time.

Pour looked like dehydrated urine with less head. Nose was an oddly smooth funkiness, not harsh, slightly horse, some feint vinegar notes, and some slight lemon. Taste was good, the low carbonation was quite nice, started with some nice bright citrus notes, fineshes with a slight vinegar flavor.
