(3/8/08) Bottle at De Heeren van Liedekercke in Denderleeuw. Cloudy orange with a big white head. Aroma with a lot of barnyard, wood, citrus and maybe a bit of sweat. Flavor is very dry, really sour, with some lemon and grapefruit and towards the finish also some bitterness. Medium-bodied with a lot of carbonation (even a bit too much carbonation for my taste) and some astringency. A great Geuze.

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.

Oct 4, 2008 Bottle with Craig, Stella, Fin, Loz and Traci, at the "What’s This Label Supposed To Be Anyway?" tasting. Thanks for sharing this one Fin!
Beautiful warm orange pour, nice white layer of perfectly uniform bubbles. Wheaty fresh grape aroma, dry sea air, green apricots. Huge aroma volume, just reaches out of the glass and tickles the nose. Dry barn board musk, orange zest. Peppery lemon sorbet flavor, spice and ocean. Gloriously good stuff.

Sep 28, 2008 Tasting with Casey, Traci, Craig, Stella and Loz 27-09-08 this bottle brought along by Fin (cheers to myself) Pours very hazy light amber. The nose and mouth have plenty of prickly apricot, sour nectarine, and peach skin. This incredible sour fruitiness just ripples around the mouth forever bouyed by a lovely soft cabonation. Some damp flour, wheat (picked up by Casey) the edges are softened sightly which makes this so much more palatable to me than some of the very, very sour Gueze. Really marvellous beer.

Sep 22, 2008 Had this on several occasions. Vibrant golden pour with a nice white head. Aroma is very complex and awesome. Too much going on to describe...flavor is the same. Yeasy, sour, funky, fruity and light spice. Awesome body and drinkability.
