A true Geuze. A blend of 1, 2, and 3 year-old lambic unfiltered and unpasteurized and aged in the bottle for at least 6 months after blending. Continued fermentation in the bottle give this Geuze its famous champagne-like spritziness. The lambic that goes into it is brewed only with 60% barley malt, 40% unmalted wheat, aged hops, and water, spontaneously fermented by wild yeasts, and matured in oak casks.

3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze is a blend of one-, two-, and three-year old lambics. Spontaneous fermentation, patient maturation in oak barrels, and continued evolution of the ecosystem in the bottle result in a distinctively complex and elegant natural beer. No two bottlings are alike, as there are multiple variables in the blending process, a variety of barrel sizes and shapes, differences in aged lambic proportions in the blend, etc. When cellared properly, 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze can be aged for several decades. The aromas and flavours will evolve from notes of vibrant fresh citrus, zesty and grassy notes to a mellow, oaky, stone fruit bouquet as the lambic continues to develop with time. Lambic and Geuze are living, cultural heritage rooted in the Zenne valley! Taste, savour, enjoy and experience this bottle fermented, unfiltered, unpasteurised and unadulterated beer with friends new and old! Read Less

3 Fonteinen Oude Kriek is the result of macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries on young lambic for at least four months, in a proportion of one kilogram of fruit per litre of lambic. The kriek lambic is then blended again with more young lambic to obtain a minimum intensity of 35% fruit, and is bottled immediately afterwards. These bottles are then stored in our cellars for at least five months so that the kriek lambic can develop into a beautiful, traditional, and refined Oude Kriek. With a pleasant tartness and organic notes of almond and cinnamon as it warms in the glass, 3 Fonteinen Oude Kriek, will age perfectly but may lose some of the vibrant red colours and forest fruit aromas. This unfiltered and unpasteurised lambic is all-natural with no artificial juices, syrups, or sugars added. Traditional Lambic is living, cultural heritage rooted in the Zenne valley! Read Less

3 Fonteinen Oude Lambik is the result of a specific brewing process with a high proportion of unmalted wheat, spontaneous fermentation in an open coolship, and slow and complex fermentation and maturation in oak barrels of different sizes and shapes. This beer is completely flat as the carbonation evaporates through the wooden staves.
Please note the age of the sample you are reviewing when entering your rating. 3 Fonteinen Oude Lambik is considered all 3 Fonteinen lambic above 18 months of oak barrel maturation after brewing, and every lambic blend served just prior to its bottling. It is poured locally around the brewery, in some selected places, and in the lambik-O-droom on dedicated hand pumps. As it is unfiltered and unpasteurised, the time between the oak barrel and the moment of serving is kept as short as possible.

This entry includes:
- all previous "vintages" of Oude Lambik
- the blends / "assemblages" of lambics ready to be / just bottled and that are poured in the lambik-O-droom or during events.

Served from a bottle, a lambic jug or from the hand pump.

As such, all future entries will be merged with this one as well. Read Less

bottling date: 20/12/2023.

This second batch of Zenne d'Auge is a blend of two old Calvados cask matured lambikken.
These Calvados casks were sourced with the Domaine Familial Louis Dupont in Victot-Pontfol,
in the heart of Normandy. The history of this renowned cidrerie and calvados house goes back
for more than 150 years.
All lambikken originate from five different 3 Fonteinen brews and three different neutral barrels,
of which two four-year old lambikken were put on the Calvados casks for extended ageing. This Calvados lambik is the first testament of a wider blending of our two crafts. Meanwhile, the
team at Domaine Dupont also received a used sherry cask of ours at their premises to mature and finish an old Calvados on. The Calvados thus got that little 3 Fonteinen touch as well. Read Less
