Description: bottling date: 6/06/2018 Deze specifieke Oude Geuze werd gestoken met lambikken van 9 verschillende vaten en van 9 verschillende brouwsels. De oudste lambik is een 3.5 jaar oude 3 Fonteinen en werd gebrouwen op 28/11/2014. Tweederde van de assemblage bestaat uit 3 Fonteinen lambikken. Er werd ook lambik gebruikt dat op een Oloroso sherryvat van 40 jaar oud heeft gerijpt. Bij de assemblage werd een beetje eigen lentehoning toegevoegd. This specific Oude Geuze was made with lambic from nine different barrels and from nine different brews. The oldest lambic is a 3,5 year old 3 Fonteinen and was brewed on 28/11/2014. Two thirds of the blend consists of 3 Fonteinen brewed lambics. We also used Lambic which was aged in a 40-year-old Oloroso sherry cask. A little of our own spring honey was added to the blend. 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.
