3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Cuvée Armand & Gaston (season 21|22) Blend No. 9

3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Cuvée Armand & Gaston is a blend of one-, two-, and three-year old traditional lambics, all brewed at Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen. Spontaneous fermentation, patient maturation in oak barrels, and continued evolution in the bottle result in a distinctively complex 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, etc. This cuvée, like all of our lambic, is 100% natural, authentic, spontaneously fermented, and crafted with steadfast adherence to tradition, like Armand and Gaston Debelder have always done it. This geuze has fermented in the bottle and will continue to develop its tastes and aromas over its long life when properly cellared. Traditional Lambic is living, cultural heritage rooted in the Zenne valley! Taste, savour, enjoy, and experience this unfiltered, unpasteurised, and unadulterated beer with friends new and old!

This particular Cuvée Armand & Gaston is a blend of lambikken originating from five different barrels and seven different brews. About 70% of the brewed volume contains our own Pajottenland grown cereals. The weighted average age of the blend upon bottling is more than 22 months, as more than 45% is three- and four-year old lambik. Two more percent of four-year-old lambik, and it would have been a Platinum Blend
