3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze

Name: 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze | Bine & Vine
Brand: Beer

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 flavors 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, savor, enjoy and experience this bottle fermented, unfiltered, unpasteurized and unadulterated beer with friends new and old!

Eighty percent of the blend consists of three-and-four-year-old lambikken, bringing the weighted average age to almost 30 months on the on the moment of bottling.

Of the 3 Fonteinen brewed lambikken, all cereals were sourced in our own Cereal Collective.

Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen is one of the last traditional lambic breweries and geuze blenders in Belgium. Rooted in the village of Beersel in the Zenne Valley between Brussels and the Pajottenland, 3 Fonteinen has a firm belief of what lambic tradition looks like.

That is why we steadfastly continue to create the finest authentic lambic beers – 100% spontaneous from brew to bottle – continuing with the same strict process and craftsmanship used by Gaston and Armand Debelder.

Family-owned with a team of 15 enthusiasts, we still brew in the village centre of Beersel while giving our barrels and bottles of geuze and fruit lambic time to develop in our warm room in Lot, a few kilometers away from the brewery.
