| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 25, 2008 Bottle marked November 30, 2005. Pours with a large, rocky, off-white head covering a cloudy orange body. Aroma of pineapple, melon, orange, horseblanket and a buttery note. Taste is really, really, sour, with lots of citrus. Sourness gets a bit more tolerable after a couple of sips, and there is even a nice, light sweetness towards the end of the taste at the end of the glass. Duration is a bit short. Lightly fizzy and very very dry. daniele (1672), Italy

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 22, 2008 A live experience: I’m setting here at my desk with a cooled down edition of 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze. Slowly I pour the geuze into my glass... There is aboslutely no head and the colour is hazy orange. My first impression of the aroma is a bit of surprise. I expected sourness in the style of Cantillon, but it is actually quite balanced with notes of apple, melon, pear and metal - very nice. Accompanied by Michael Nyman’s soundtrack to A Zed and Two Noughts, I take my first sip... Immediately I’m hit by an aggressive acidness as if biting into a unripe apple. The sensation is that of very dry champagne or grape fruit. Perhaps the flavours die away a bit too quick in the ending, but the initial feeling is really great and not too extreme. A further plus is the lack of sour eruptions one can sometimes experience drinking geuze. I am actually blown away by this one - it’s so perfectly balanced, dry and fruity that I am in beer heaven. For the first time I truly understand the bliss of a lambic - geuze. slimchill (776), Austin, Texas, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Jul 17, 2008 2006 Bottle from Beerlando. Pours gold-brown with a whirlpool of carbonation hurrying up to a huge head that leaves thick bubbly lacing. The aroma is a deep barnyard sourness with peppery notes underneath, and behind that there are apples, peaches, and with a deep swirl of the glass some caramel. The flavor is a strong musky sourness, complex and hard to pin down, balanced by a fruit-tartness that folds in and out. Smooth if slightly puckering with strong carbonation.
