Thanks to Mark for sharing, and to Dan for hosting :thumbup:
Quick review from written notes, 2008 vintage.
Bright saturated golden orange, spotty lacing around the edges, visible carb trails rising in the glass. Foam subsided rapidly.
Mineral and sulfur traces in the nose, wet hay, lightly funky.
Sour grapefruit, lemon pith, bitter woody tannins towards the end. Clean and crisp, very smooth with a bone dry finish. Body is supple and full at the same time. Overall this was nice to try, it seems like a case of emperors new clothes, but it's a classic Drie Fonteinen gueuze all the same.
2004 vintage sampled at 3F, TDG 2019.

375ml Bottle 2016 - pours a cloudy dirty orange with 1.5 finger foam head that dissipates to leave good lacing. On the nose it is incredibly complex with sour notes of vinegar/white wine, followed by fruitiness and funk & pepperiness. Taste wise, incredibly complex but follows the nose (you can understand why it's complex so!). Beautifully balanced nonetheless and an astonishing gueuze, definitely on of the best I've had, if not the best (and priced accordingly!).

2016 edition from last year. 375 ml bottle. A little oak on the nose. Just enough carbonation to make the mouthfeel great. Taste makes me want to drink it all day.
