Commercial Description:
The 3MONTS beer : A wonderful return to nature, with its flavour of yesteryear, this is a beer that was drawn from the wooden metal-circled barrels to fill so many mugs in our Flanders bars! Its bitterness comes from our hop fields scattered throughout the region. Brewed by infusions, it is an old-fashioned rising beer made with strong and hearty Flemish hops. Fermented using top yeasts, like the barrel brewers of yore and clamped like bonderised barrels.

Had a bit of a musty odor - but that may have just been the bottle we had to sample. Mildly sweet - very much like wine. Notes of grapes & citrus. Very bubbly and clear. Would like to try again sometime to compare.

Pours a deep golden with a puffy white head and some finely suspended sediment. Grapy sweetness on top of a pilsener-like aroma. Starts semi- sweet and bitter with a light fruitiness. Finishes more bitter and dry with a decent semi-sweet complexity. Not a bad Biere de Garde, but it just doesn't have the complexity I prefer. Light, crisp, and clean flavor makes this enjoyable nonetheless.

Tasted like a good Heineken. Poured a nice golden color, with a thick white head. Citrusy and fruity. Not bad. Not great. I swear this was just Heineken, but good.

a clear golden color with a big ass mountain of head. Kinda tastes like a lager but with a big pepper feel to it and even a slight burn as it warms.

Golden colour. No sediment. Top fermented beer with Flemish hops. Alcohol content is not intrusive. Crisp & clean. Quite pleasant, but nothing exceptional. Bottled, France, December 2003.

o.k. My sample was brought back directly from belgium...am i missing something..i must be..because well......it poured a clear yellow color with dancing bubbles abound..a big fluffy white head sat above and slowly phazed to sticky lace and thin sheets of suds..light flowery aroma with a faint lemon atmosphere and lagery tones...a bit grassy in flavor but...am i missing something..has my palate gone on vacation...it seriously tastes like nothing more than a high quality malt liquor..some peppery alcohol..but 4.7's...dude, give me a fuckin' break..this shit..is shit!

Mild malt aroma. Bitter floral hops, bit metallic. Sweet. Fine foamy white lacing head over dark golden clear. Heavy watery body with medium-high carb. Starts moderately sweet with light malts. Alcohol, some sugar. Finishes with good bitterness, floral hoppiness. After is medium dry bitter with some fruitiness.

This beer formed a large sized creamy and smooth white head with fine sized bubbles. The body was slightly hazy and with fast rising lively carbonation. This beer had a pale yellow hue to it. The nose was lightly malty, sweet, citrus notes and wine notes. The flavor was sweet, spicy and some fruit notes. The palate was tingly and this was a medium bodied beer with very, very sparse lacing.
