Skyview (3063), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Nov 18, 2008 For rating 3000 I wanted to go in style. Received a 750 ml bottle via trade with Papsoe, pours a hazy golden pale brew with a thick white head that has excellent retention and even some lacing. Aroma of barnyard funk, tart tropical fruit, some gouda and bleu cheese, yeast and a touch of citrus zest. Taste is tart with plenty of fruity flavors of lemon zest, oranges, more yeast funk with a touch of sour cheese. Finish is spritzy, with a complex aftertaste of tart fruit, yeast and more funk that slowly disappears. Wow, happy to have had this experience. Guerde (514), Welcome, Minnesota, USA Oct 24, 2008 (bottle, big thanks to Skyview for sharing this rarity at the Sourfest!) rating #500-Pours out hazy light gold with a fluffy white head that sticks around and leaves impressive lacing. The aroma is potent and possesses every aspect I enjoy in a gueuze. Dominant smells of funky blue cheese, brine, spikes of tart pineapple, peach skin, dusty hay, and of course, manure. The taste is full of brine, funky cheese, minerals, lemon peel, and oak. The finish is incredibly long, earthy, and bone-dry. The mouthfeel is full. This beer is quite possibly the pinnacle of gueuze. cgarvieuk (2614), Edinburgh, Scotland Oct 18, 2008 <b>Bottle at Fins ... Thanks to Fin for a great weekend and some Real intersting beers</b>Nice pink amber ... big fruit and that typical lambic nose... again some woodyness ... tart fruity ... some sherbert... BDR (1966), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Oct 17, 2008 Many thanks to Skyview for sharing!A spectacular sour funky nose on this one. Gold with massive head. Hay and horse crap in the best way possible. Faint cheese in the incredibly sour body as well. The yeast shot off one of these things must be incredible. fordest (1857), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Oct 8, 2008 Sampled at RBSG. Favorite of the night. Lots of sour tartness on the aromas and in the flavor. Perfectly acidic without being harsh. Perfect balance between tart and sweet. I love this beer.
