12.7 oz. bottle. A good, but not great, gueze. Great color - a little orange in the mix. Aroma was lemony but not too intense. This is very dry and somewhat tart. All of the flavor is up front and goes away quickly. However, It did quench my thirst and worked well as an appetizer for my meal. I do like the Cantillon Classic Gueze, Hanssens Oude Gueze and the Boon Oude Geueze quite a bit more.

Bottle from the brewery. Cloudy orange/ambet with large white head and nice lacing. Earthy, dirty funk with slight light fruit and lemon. Flavor is dirty sweet, sour, tart, lemon, awesome. Medium body and nice pucker. Beatiful all around, so sour, so tart.

Has to get used to these Geuze. Light brown, sediment. White head mostly diminishing. Aroma: sulfur, wood, acetic acid. Flavor is heavy, harsh acid. Dry texture.

Bottle from the brewery. Bright orange cloudy with a thick white head that doesn’t last long. Nose is tart and slightly fusty with a lemony edge. Mouth is tart lemon funky, with a bit of acid, but with a sweet balance of peach, mellowing. Sharp clean end. Excellent.

Bottle. Pours a golden orange haze body. Aroma is sour funk, some lemon, grapefruit, very tart in nose and cheek. Acidic woodiness. A certain palate cleanser and a easier on the palate then most gueuze. 2005 Bottle 1999 Vintage. Pours an orange copper body with a thin white effervescent head. Horse blanket, light lemon, sour fruit, delicious with very low acidity. This is Awesome at 10!

Well my entrance to this style of beer didnt go all that well. It is just too tart and sour. A weird beer for sure. I am a rookie at sour style beers, I will keep trying.

My tongue salivates at the smell. The aromas are tart, barnyard, funky, horsey, and champagne like. Color is light amber with a nice light lacy head. Taste is bubbly and light on the tongue. Acidic and with a great lasting sourness.

375 ml bottle. I tried to like this one, I really did, it just didn’t do it for me. The sourness was a little too intense and a little too lingering. Maybe I’m just not yet enough into the whole sour beers thing. I think I needed to drink this with some food.
