4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Tasted from bottle at RBSG. I saw this online for sale at 50E ($80 + shipping)/bottle. I got a group a people together to each pitch in $20, but nobody had the cahones to pull the trigger. Luckily I am able to taste it today. I’ve never seen so many glasses (including mine) reaching for a pour. Wow. Great aroma. Perfect mild sourness. Cloudy yellow orange color. Super easy to drink. Faintly acetic. Great.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Bottle 75 cl) Lightly hazy golden with a rough off-white head. Fresh, astringent, Brettish nose. Medium body with a fairly complex Brett character and a lightly astringent and sour finish. But actually a fairly mellow and drinkable gueuze. 290608

Bottle @ the RBESG08 Grand Tasting.
[thank you, bager]
Pours hazy yellow-golden with a big, frothy, off-white head. Turns into a thin film. Aroma is funky, good overripe apples and citric tartness. Fine, dry mouthfeel. Flavour is wonderfully dry, lots of barnyard, citric tartness, overripe apples again. Wonderful.

Sampled at the RBESG08 grand tasting. Shady golden with medium white head. Wonderful cideray and earthy aroma with a mild funkiness. Light in body with soft but lively carbonation. Almost perfecly balanced with a light sweetness and a mild but firm acidity.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
RBESG2008: 75 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a slowy collapsing white head. Aroma is dry wooden and orange fruity. Flavour is smooth orange fruity and nicely acidic with a light yeasty touch towards the finish. Nice wooden base to a delicate orange citric flavour into the finish. Nice lingering dry and light sulphorish into the far finish. Very smooth and balanced.
3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Very tart, sour and dry, farmyard, hay, lemon rind, very long bone-dry finish, it is a real shame they don’t make this one anymore, very tasty stuff.
