I can’t remember who shared this (Ethan?) but thanks much for the treat! Cloudy and rustic as hell pour, with all kinds of yeast and sedimental material contributing to a lively concoction. Fluffy white head, and a huge tart nose with funk cubed. Nicely full bodied, tons of wood and grapefruit, and a big sour apple kiss to finish things off. Top notch gueuze.

Bottle. Yellow unclear body. Huge fluffy white head. Sourish aroma, a particular sweetness that is hard to describe. Very sour flavour, after a little while a strange maltiness. Long sour finish, like champagne. A litte too sour. (At home, 010709)

2008 bottle, orange with a nice soapy head that diminish quickly, "wet" aroma, some olives, grapes and lemons can be sensed (very pleasant), dry and sour flavor, zesty on the tongue with almost no sweetness, delicate vinous notes with some lemon and hay, low bitterness towards the end. Full bodied. Great stuff

Bottle. Pours a hazy dark orange, sparkly and fizzy tan head that dissipates quickly to a ring. Aroma and flavour is heavy on wood, quite fruity, with notes of sour lemon, earth, bread, yeast, and loads of cheese like funk. A refreshing and drinkable sour. Body is light, carbonation is prickly, but fittingly so.

750 ml bottle picked up from Greens Liquor store in Atlanta. This is a bottle from February 02, 2007. I think this is my first lambic - gueuze. Smells a wee bit like some charred wood, with some funky fruit. Yeast aroma is pungent. This is a very nice nuanced pungent beer. Slight bread, and little sour as well. Very nice nuanced aroma. Nice fluffy head that fades away only slightly. Nice haze dark orange color. Funky sour flavor with some yeast. Nice flavor is you ask me. I am just starting to like the sour-type beers. Slight charred wood flavor in there as well. For $20 it is a little expensive, but having it aged 2 years without having to do it myself is ok with me. Overall, pretty damn good beer.

375 ml bottle - February 2006 bottling; cloudy, straw gold; aromas of funky cheese, lemons, barnyard funk and fruit; texture is soft and delightful; mild flavors across the palate that aren’t as harsh as the nose would suggest; tasty, soft, smooth, subtle and yummy

Golden amber pour with nice white head. Great aroma. Tart lemony wood, great funkiness. Smooth and delicious. Better than the vintage from nearly the same time. Smooth and tart.
