Cloudy golden orange, moderate to small head with some lacing and retention. Aroma is barnyard action, some vanilla and wood, tart and acidic of course, funk. Medium bodied, acidic with a light sweetness. Good stuff, if only it was a fraction of the cost.

Sep 1, 2008 Bright golden-orange in colour with a thin off-white coloured head, very light lacing. The aroma is mildly acidic, some lemon citrus, tart, some barnyard and cheese. The flavour is very dry and tart, not so much acidic as sour, some citrus, barn and leather. Sour mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes mid length, dry with some light citrus.
This is very good. A light gueuze but one of the most drinkable one out there. I ended up drinking a ton of this at Mondial.
375ml bottle obtained in a trade with henrikb, thanks Henrik.

Aug 31, 2008 Damn, this aroma is amazing. Lots of lactic sourness, funky hay-like yeast, citrus.
Taste is sweet maltiness, sourness, slightly watery, and a touch bitter.
Finishes refreshingly sour, crisp, a touch watery, and yummy.
This is really good.
I like it
Thanks John (Vyvvy)!

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle from Belmont Station in Portland, OR--Poured a fuzzy cider-esque golden-copper body with a fluffy white head that went away. Sour, tart, wheaten nose with lots of pucker factor. Funky, yet subtle and dainty. Acidic, dry, woody, nd well built gueuze. Yum!

Aug 16, 2008 To rate to style or to rate to personal liking...I will try to combine. Aroma is of a white wine with sour apple notes and hints of vinegar, wood, lemon and yeast. Appearance is cloudy apple juice with minimal carbonation, with the thinest of white heads around the edge. Flavor is sweet for a beer, apple, white wine, tart and wheat. Palate is thin but smooth, a slight sourness. For my first Lambic, it was a lot different than what I was expecting, still decent. And as strange as this beer was to me, I like it, I think its well done, balanced and not overpowering.
