Vintage 2000- bottle shared courtesy of piscator34- nice looking stuff- golden hay colour and good carbonation. Nose- wood, citrus, leather. Taste- nice citrus zing, some green apple, very dry and woody. Goes down easy.. Finish and mouthfeel is more dry than puckering. Very solid

Tastes like lime, lemon, and grapefruit juice all romed into one dry, funky concoction. Sour and acidic but still very enjoyable and drinkable. Lively carbonation gives this a light and refreshing mouth feel. Too bad it’s so expensive where I live, but I’ll buy it again.

Rating #900. Bottled sample (2000). Light orange in colour with a bit of haze and lively carbonation. Aromas of lemon, dry wood, and funk. Extremely dry in the mouth, with lots of earth, light lemon, horse blanket, moss, and wood. Almost a little too dry, and lacking a bit of fruit to make it top class, but still a very good gueuze.

[From the archive] First time I tasted this favourite and then I lost the rating. The times I’ve had it since I’ve always thought I had rated it – well, I had – so didn’t make a new rating. Doubtful it would make a 4.5 the second time around but definitely closer to 4.5 than 4.0. Even the aroma is dry! Tarty outhouse and wild yeast. Flavourful, loads of acidity but I’d still have it as a session beer. My stomach would probably spring a leak, however. Some metallic tones (copper, iron?) in the dryness. The head is persistent and creamy leaving good lace over the beatiful amber body. Calls for some fitting food or snack but I’d never spurn it even if all by itself.

Bottle, bottled 1/2006. Pours a cloudy orange with a thick white head and lively carbonation. Aroma is quite funky (barnhouse, sour cheese). Flavor is super tart, of nice tart candies, oakiness. Just like other 3 Fonteinen beers, this is nice and tart and sour but not too acidic on the palate. For a lambic, it is extremely drinkable. Awesome beer!

Bottle, bottled 01/06. Aroma of a funk: mild horseblanket, relatively fresh chesse, leather; light fruits: lemon, strawberry, melon, pear. Flavor has mellow tartness and some sourness up front, lactic acidity on the back end. Great stuff.

Ottima gueuze decisamente particolare per il suo stile, molto bilanciata con una discreta punta di amaro nel finale, ma comunque estremamente beverina.
