Brewer Description: (from Untappd) After the thermostat incident, and in order to be able to bridge the following financial gap, Armand blended 4 distinct and unique geuzes with lambics he brewed himself. The resulting blends were bottled at the beginning of 2010. They were named after the four seasons, and launched in the specific seasons.

Intro: A 750ml very dusty corked and caged bottle at 3 Fonteinen lambik-O-droom, bottled on 2nd April 2010. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.
Appearance: The cork shot out of this one. It poured a hazy dark golden orange colour, with a big three finger fluffy white head that had good retention and nice lacing.
Aroma: Musty, dusty cellar-y notes. Funk, grapefruit peel, sherry bits, light caramel, apple slices and wood, while lemon zest appeared more on further pours.
Taste: Sweet and sour citrus peel, tart, apricot, dusty, funk, brett and oak.
Mouthfeel: Smooth, medium bodied, with soft carbonation.
Overall: Much like Winter, this was not my first time trying it, but drinking it at the source was definitely much better. I suspect the previous bottle probably travelled too much. This bottle was very much alive with layers of complexity and super enjoyable.
