3 Fonteinen Oude Gueuze

**Aroma:** “Citrus and fruity with orange, peach, apricot, and pineapple plus light strawberry and plum. Lactic and *Brett* character comes through on the nose as well. Tartness shines up front from the acidity followed by some notes of lemon zest, pineapple, and dried apricot. You can almost smell the carbonation.” **Flavor:** “Big peach, moderate apricot, citrus notes of lemon, orange, pink grapefruit, and pineapple. Moderately high acidity, slight lemon-zest bitterness, and a long tail of peach. High carbonation gives it a champagne-like character. Acidity and tartness struggle a bit to compete with some of the subtle citrus and pineapple fruit notes. Finish is rather dry.” **Overall:** “A good balance between fruit and acidity. The carbonation really makes this a refreshing beverage. Complexity is evident in the tartness, and the blend of aged and young also shines in the fruitiness, with a nice balance between those components.”

“Raspberry and cranberry-like aromas with sourdough bread and leathery funk. Bold sour raspberry slowly fades into a mouthcoating funk with hints of leather, smoke, and a light oaky tannin.”

**Aroma:** “Moderately strong malt, light acidity, notes of pineapple, peach, apri- cot, strawberry, and plum with a slightly sharp Brett. Fruit jumps out along with the acidity—so much fruit character that it’s hard to imagine no fruit was added. Incredibly complex aroma.” **Flavor:** “Tons of peach notes along with a nice tartness that carries through. Hints of raspberry along with a subtle citrus note. Fruity notes throughout— orange, lemon, pineapple, and peach. Moderate sharp Brett, moderate acidity, light pepper notes, moderate apricot, light coconut. High carbonation presents all the flavors and aromas. **Overall:** “Big fruity fun! There’s even a bit of coconut coming through that works well with the big fruit and touch of bitter-zest Brett. Incredible complexity between the tartness and fruitiness and a fantastic fresh peach character that really shines. High carbonation keeps it light and drinkable.”
