The Drie Fonteinen Platinum Blend is not just another beer; it's a testament to the rich history and expertise of the 3 Fonteinen brewery. This gueuze is a meticulous blend of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-year old lambics, each contributing its unique character to the final product. What sets the Platinum Blend apart is its composition of 100% 3 Fonteinen lambic, unlike the Golden Blend which incorporates lambic originating from different breweries.
First introduced in the late spring/early summer of 2020, the Oude Geuze Platinum Blend has quickly become a sought-after beverage among lambic enthusiasts. Its 6.5% ABV ensures that the beer retains its robust character without being overwhelmingly strong.
