COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Blend of 1, 2, and 3 year old lambics.
A true Geuze - a blend of 1, 2, and 3 year-old lambic, unfiltered and unpasteurized, and aged in the bottle for at least a year after blending. Refermentation in the bottle gives this Geuze its famous champagne-like spritziness. The lambic that goes into it is brewed only with 60% barley malt, 40% unmalted wheat, aged hops, and water, spontaneously fermented by wild yeasts, and matured in oak casks.

Thanks to daknole for quenching my sour craving. Cloudy yellow/orange with a quickly fading off-white head. Aroma of barnyard funk, musty oak, doughy yeast, tart apple, citrus zest, and a slight hint of vinegar. Flavor is full of earthy and lactic goodness with underlying notes of crabapple, lemon, grapefruit pith and tight champagne-esque carbonation. Overall body is light to moderate, dry, and finishes with moderate acidity.

I walked away happy with this brew but I also walked away with not knowing what one of the tastes were and to this day I can’t pinpoint it. Anyway, so what I could pick up was great. Funk, apple, lemon, and a good bit of sourness and tartness. There was an also a bit of grain in the backbone. A good beer but damn I wish I could pinpoint that one taste. It gave it a bit of an off taste but still a good beer.

Bottle thanks to Walt. Pours a yellow/orange with fizzy white head. Aroma is acidic with bright citrusy notes and farmhouse. Flavor is much the same as well as dry and sour and dusty. Mouthfeel is light body with spritzy carbonation. Overall, excellent brew!
