Bottle, 37,5 cl. Blonde, golden beer with huge white, creamy, light unstable head. Light sour and fruity smell. Taste is light sour with an enjoyable natural sweet taste on the background, making this a more mild Oude Geuze’. Although also a good ’Oude Geuze’ lacking a bit in pallet and complexity. to compete with the top of ’Oude Geuzes’. (Note: also nice when mixed with a Oude Geuze Girardin Black Label :)).

Amber with some green in it, small white mousse. Aroma is sharp, sour, green but very nice and dry. Taste is sour, a bit herby with some wood touches too. This beer is dry sour with a very nice vegetal bitterness in the finale.

Sample #28 at 1st CST, bottle dated Feb 19 2004. Pours a clear straw golden with a white frothy head. Aroma of hay, corse, less sweet, somewhat peppery funky, really nice. Flavor is tart funky, a bit yeasty, sort of soapy, still a bit of dried faded hops, earthy. Med bodied, fluffy. A must have in the cellar. My go-to Geuze.

Little head. Amber coloring. The aroma has the smell similar to a white wine. The flavor has an extremely tart white grape taste.

750 mL bottle. Lets start by saying I have no experience with this style but wanted to give it a shot. Cloudy golden green pour with a nice thick fizzy white head. Aroma of barnyard and socks. Taste is just overwhelmingly sour with that familiar barnyard funk and citrus. Dry finish. Not for me.

Pours a hazy amber gold with a one finger crackling white head. Wonderfully tart and acidic nose, funky barnyard character, socks, grapefruit rind and lemongrass. Flavor is tart and vinous, citrusy, nice lemongrass character, acidic, mild oak, grapefruit rind. Tart tannic mouthfeel. Nice.

Bottle at Paul’s place for Kan’s visit. 2000 vintage. Pours a murky orange with a thin white head. Slight lemon, funk, hay, sweet acid. Huge acid, mouth puckering sourness. This is bracing and delicious.
