Soft acidity on the nose. Very mild with hints of sweetness. Pours slightly hazy gold with a dense white head. Fruity acidity upfront with over-ripe fruit notes and slight acetic notes in the background. Finishes very dry with a fruity tart end. Awesome.

Bottle shared at the RBWG in Austin. Cloudy light pour with a huge, lasting white head. Aroma is sour, tart, fantastic lemon, light spices, other citrus, and a little wood. Taste is tart and funky, old fruit, acidic, and fizz. 1900! Thanks Eric!

750 ml C&C. poured hazy yellow with a white head that lasted the life of the beer and laced the glass. Aroma and flavor were way more complex than I ever thought. The aroma was horse blanket, lemon, citrus, must, and a nice funk. flavor was lemon, grapefruit, musty, earthy, sour, brett, and just a huge array of flavors. The body was light with a very pleasant fizzy carbonation and finished dry. AMAZING!!

2/25/12. 750mL bottle shared by ericandersnavy. Hazy golden pour with a small ring of off-white head. Surprisingly light aroma that is nonetheless quite funky, sweat socks, herbal leafy aspects, and more. Much more tart flavor, slightly acidic with more funkiness with bright citrus. High carbonation. Very nice.

Bottle @ Too many Geuze’s - only one toilet , Ulfborg 2012 - Day 1. The final beer of a legendary tasting. The best I’ve ever been (and probably ever will be) part of. Thank you J&C for organizing this. Hazy golden/orange, with a tiny white head. More sour than the Roze, and definitely more "manly", there are no flower notes like Roze, just the typical geuze characteristics, of the finest type though. Lemon and grapefruit, fruity, nice malt base, vinegar, barnyard, cellar, wet wood, such a complexity packed in a perfectly balanced beer. And what a perfect beer to finish the night with. A night to remember for sure: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aserezis/sets/7215762

Sampled at STLWill’s 30th b-day tasting. Pours golden / copper with a small white-ish head. The aroma has lots of funky cheese, plenty of underlying sourness, some lemons, some berries along with berry skins and a good deal of bugginess. Very light ultra-crisp body with quite a bit of sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with blue cheese, high amounts of citric tartness, wild yeastiness and sweet/tarts with an lot of dryness to it. The finish is peppery and chalky. Another great lambic at an amazing tasting.
