From notes, 8/12/11. Thanks to westcoastbeerlvr. Pours a beautiful gold with a fine collar of white bubbles. Directly compared to another beer, it does seem to have the faintest shade of pink mixed in, but it’s not noticeable on its own. The aroma is fantastic. It’s all sour notes and funk with a juicy fruit note. It’s almost a berry-ish grape flavor, like blackberries mixed in red wine. The taste is dry and earthy with lots of sour - ~7/10 on the pucker scale. Great stuff.

Old review transferred from notes. Thanks Jon for bringing this to our Halloween whale tasting.

A-Half fingers worth of white head. Murky deep orange in color.

S-Nose is typical Drie Fonteinen, lemon rind, mustiness, cob web, and some gentle grape.

T-The malvasia grapes are much more prominent in the flavor. They seem to lend a gentle sweetness to the taste of the beer. Lemon is also present with an ample amount of funk, cob web, and must.

M-The beer has a medium body with lively carbonation and a long finish. The carbonation actually caught me off guard at first. For such an old beer, it seemed overcarbonated.

O-Drie Fonteinen can do no wrong in my book, every beer I have ever had from Armand has been a treat and this was no exception. Having Lente earlier in the day, I think still think I prefer that, but this was still an incredible beer.

7/6/2012 and 7/8/2012

Bottles shared by Jason and Matt. Thanks!

A: Pale yellow with an enormous airy head. Great color.

S: Vinegar with a touch of acetone. Horsey with a strong wet leather presence blending with mushroom and damp forest floor. Light grape notes meet oak and a little citrus.

T: Dusty grape skins with evident vinegar flavor and a lower moderate acetic acidity. Less leather than was in the nose. Earthy throughout. Tannic, leathery, tart, and woody finish.

M: High carbonation and a light body with a dry and lightly tannic finish.

Overall: Refreshing and enjoyable. The grape has mostly faded but it's still a nice beer.

223rd Review
75cl bottle shared at the Sour & Bitter dinner in Copenhagen
Poured in a wine tumbler
Enjoyed on 10 May 2012

Bottled: 2/10/2003
Best before: 2/10/2013

A: Medium golden orange with tint of yellow. Half (off white) fingernail head on medium pour.

S: Sharp nose! Funk, must, white grapes with slight oak. Quite inviting...

T: Follows nose, but more oakiness comes through. Good balance of sweet and tart accompanied by loads of funk and earthiness. Vinous white grape is soft and rounded out by nice must character. Very easy to drink!

M: Light bodied with soft, gentle, smooth carbonation. Dry as well.

O: Age has done wonderful things to this beer! Crisp, soft, rounded, and very refreshing. Oh so nice and just another great classic from Armand.

I was able to try this at Sour and Bitter. Poured from the bottle into a stemless wine glass.

Appearance: Pours a cloudy golden orange color with a finger of off white head that fades to a thick ring around the edge of the glass.

Smell: Abrasive tartness and funk hit you right away. Some white wine and citrus notes. Very nice smelling beer.

Taste: Lots of white wine, which makes sense. Funk and some lemon like tartness. The finish is slightly bitter. I really enjoyed the wine and the tartness together.

Mouthfeel: Medium body with aggressive carbonation and a dry finish.

Overall: This beer is so dry and tart. It drinks like I would like white wine to drink. I was a huge fan of this beer. I'd definitely have another given the chance.
