3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Golden Blend
Description
Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze Golden Blend is the first commercially released gueuze with a 4-year old component included in the blend, as well as the standard 1, 2, and 3 year old lambics.
History / Other Notes
Oude Geuze Golden Blend was released in 37.5cl bottles in early 2012 after being bottled in early 2011. It was released with two labels, one for the U.S import and one for the rest of the world. Part of Armand's own remaining lambic after the thermostat incident was used for the four year component of this blend.
Unsubstantiated Stories
The small amount of four year old lambic that was left over after making Golden Blend was bottled and released at the Sour and Bitter Festival in 2012 as 3 Fonteienen Oude Lambiek (4 Year Old), the only unblended lambic bottled by Armand to be released to the public.
Though Golden Blend is so far, a one-off blend from Armand, there have been at least two other attempts to release a similar blend in 2012 and 2013. The blends did not carbonate and were released as Golden Doesjel
