Apr 5, 2008 75cL bottle, bottled on 2/2/07. I’m a 3 Fonteinen whore, the only thing "bad" I can say about this particular bottle is that the aroma was just a little off. Aside from that, this expensive ass bottle is ~almost~ reason enough to move to Beersel and become a bum hoping to lick the empty barrels as they are cleaning them.

Apr 21, 2007 Date de mise en bouteille 07/03/2003. Hazy orange-gold with a large white head. Aroma of yeast, sour apple and dewy spring cottage garden. The taste is grapefruit with dusty books and paper stored in old barns and attics. Sour, but if you persevere you pick out a distant honey sweetness. The result is fresh, clean, immensely drinkable: a wonderful example of the brewer’s craft. This is the reason I love beer.

Bottle @ brasserie420
Wonderful cork-pop, good carbonation!
Incredible complex nose, everything ranging from dust to honey, green apples, grapefruit. Really the copy of the scent of the 3F cellars.
The taste is just great. Honey, apple juice. Not acetic at all. Clean, crisp and mineral. So elegant!! The acidity is perfect, not overdone, just perfectly balanced with the hops. Great!

Jul 9, 2006 Pours yellow with a thin white head. Smells grassy with hay, lots of wildflowers, sugar, gasoline, mellow subdued fruit. Tastes dry with a the initial sourness giving way to nice fruity undertones. Finishes woody with some brett character.

Jul 17, 2007 Bottle of 2002 and 2003 head to head, 2002 from antwerp, 2003 from ronnie. 2002 has a really fresh crisp sharp lambic funk, noteably sour. 2003 is similar but there are subtlties that differenciate the two. Taste 2002 again seems fresher increadibly carbonated, too much for me to be honest, cidery palete, sour funk, noteable belgiunness about it. 2003 had more body too it, not as complex, less carbonated and increadibly drinkable. If pushed id say the 2002 is a better beer, but both are complete masterpieces that i want alot more of.

May 1, 2006 Bottled. Hazy golden, firm fluffy head. Distinct citric nose where barnyard is very evident. Soft, lively and juicy with concentrated flavours. Acidic and ultra-complex, yet frefreshingly drinkable. A super premium gueuze.

Jun 23, 2006 Bottled, 375 ml, 07.03.2002. Oak, honey, lemon and a hint of pepper in the perfect aroma. Sour flavor, but an eased down sourness, not too harsh. Oak, lemon, grapefruit, raspberry. Still some sharp edges, that need to be eased down by further cellaring. Great balance, great potential. Very long oaky and citric aftertaste. Close to perfection, I wish I’d bought more bottles.
