Bottle @ a recent tasting... Poured golden with a thin head. Aroma of skunked fermented gym socks (in a good way). Tasted awesome, bright citrus notes lent to a funky, yeast spiced, bretty, musky, horseblanket machine of a Gueuze. Some acid with the citrus in there too.

Liek the others this is a nice herbal, tart, woody, funky blend. This one is lgihter, has a huge puckering nose.

Bottle at Jack and Leighton’s Birthday Beeorama, massive thanks to birthday boy jack, 13/04/13. Hazed orange/amber with a thin off white head that clears to edgeing and filmage. Nose is sour heaven, palatial tarteness, angelic puckerings, lemon rind, tarte orange, funk, smoke. burnt fruit, barnyard, grandads shed - in fact a specific drawer in said shed! Taste comprises lemon rind, straw, woody tones, sour fuirt, farmy, barny, funky sours. Medium bodied, fine light spritz, super dry finish as arid as the place in Star Wars where the Jawa’s and Sand people live! Yeah - this is the bollocks!

Pours a rich copper color with a couple finger of gaseous suds that settles out. On the nose it’s dusty funk, bright citrus , lemon acidity... the palate follows with a tremendous balance between dusty musty basement funk and ripe stone fruit, lemon acidity and lots of earthy leather... Amazing complexity!

Bottle supplied by myself. The pour’s deep hazy orange with a medium pillowy white head. Nice brett through the nose. Old cobweb-covered wood. A bit of marshmallow. Light white grape. Slightly brash. Notes of granny smith apple. The taste has similarly musty flavors. Like eating an attic. Rich brett with bright shocks of tart lemon. Key lime pie. Such expressive wild yeast. Nice floral finish. Mild creamy sweetness. Light body. Wonderful vitality. Moderate carbonation. Overall, fantastic.

Bottled. Amber color with rich frothy foam. Dry woody nose with hints of oak, grapefruit, smokey phenols and brett. Flavour is dry woody and grapefruity, with notes of goat cheese,smokey phenols, ripe green apple and oak. Good acidity here. Musty mouthfeel. Almost puckering mouthfeel due to the tannins and dryness. Really complex.

Sampled at the CCB/RateBeer/Pre-Hunah Tasting (Tampa, FL). Pours a well hazed amber hue, darker haziness, frothy tannish head dies to a good film, laces ok. Aromas are lemony, bready, straw and lemon. Crab apple, lactic elements. Some bready malts, a touch deadened. Some straw. Gentle oak. Initial is a touch sweeter, well balanced, with oak, bready, straw, good lemon and yogurt. Gentle rind. Middle is a touch sweet, straw, yogurt, and oak. Nice sourness sustains, bretty backend and oak, straw. Touches of flavorful fruit, straw, florals. A bit more muted. A tasty Gueuze, solid all around. A touch behind Lente. Nice fruit. Tasty.

Bottle. Fairly clear amber with big white head. Musty and funky, not as sharp as some gueze, some strange plastic, red apple. Taste is sharp, acidic, funky also a little malt coming through, red apple and caramel. Extremely sour and a little lingering sticky.
