== Description ==
Ouce Geuze Vintage is 3 Fonteinen's reserve series geuze. Unlike regularly released [[3_Fonteinen_Oude_Geuze|3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze]], which is widely distributed in Europe and North America, Oude Geuze Vintage is limited to local distribution, primarily within Belgium. Oude Geuze Vintage is hand selected and blended by Armand Debelder for its flavor and character, bottled, and stored within the cellars at 3 Fonteinen and released several years later instead of being released after the typical maturation period of six months for the regularly released Oude Geuze. It is released in both 37,5cl 375ml and 75cl 750ml bottles and is labeled as 6% ABV.
== History / Other Notes ==
3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Vintage was first released in the spring of 2002. This year is also the most prolific year in terms of batches released. Subsequent years have varied in terms of individual bottling dates and bottling sizes. All labels have featured either the common yellow 3 Fonteinen label with the word ''"vintage"'' or the red Felix De Boeck "Nightlights" label (explained below). The only exception to this is the February 14, 2007 label that reads ''St. Valentijn Cuvée''.
The February 14th14, 2007 bottling, however, came with both the regular ''vintage'' yellow label as well as with a label that reads ''St. Valentijn Cuvée''. Both synthetic corks and natural corks were used for this bottling.
