Armand’s latest brew is a blend of 1, 2 3 and ….4 year old Lambic !
The Golden Blend is made with 4 year old Lambic that accounts for 25 % of it’s contents, the rest of the blend is made up by a "secret" combination of 1, 2 and 3 year old Lambic.
The exact mixture is only known by the master-blender Armand himself.
What’s in a name ?
The name "Golden Blend" is not far from away the truth, in fact, the 4 years of maturation in oak-wooden barrels is making this particular Lambic very expensive.
Due to the "evaporation" through the barrels, only a small percentage of the lambic is left over after 4 years of maturing.
The 3 Fonteinen Golden Blend Oude Geuze has very dry features in it’s aftertaste and makes it therefore a perfect exaple of why Armand Debelder is a true Master-Blender in the art of Geuze making.
