3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Vintage 2016 Lambic/Geuze - 37.5 CL

bottling date: 09/02/2016 … somewhere in season 15|16 … More precisely, in the autumn of 2016, after six months of warm room conditioning, this Oude Geuze showed exceptional aging potential. That is why the brewers let it mature further to allow it to fully develop. Give this Oude Geuze Vintage ample time to develop in the glass. 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Vintage is a blend of one-, two-, and three-year old lambics. Instead of releasing them after minimum 6 months of bottle conditioning, the vintage series have been cellared for at least three years up to even five years and longer before being released. For an Oude Geuze to become a Vintage, it features characteristics that are unique, sometimes surprising or outspoken. 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!
