BitchesBrew (710), Berkeley, California, USA Jun 27, 2008 [bottle] Potent aroma, very funky and acidic. Pours hazy yellow with a very quickly diminishing white head. Flavors are very acidic and almost bitter. Loads of sour bacteria. Very complex finish...lingers on for quite a while. Saturating. HenrikSoegaard (4264), Randers, Denmark Jun 21, 2008 Bottle.

Great geuze. Mostly lasing week head. Yellow colour. Powerfull sour aroma and flavor. Long complex finish and great palate. FrankJohansen (3329), Sabro, Denmark Jun 20, 2008 Bottle. Hazy golden colour with a medium white head. Sweet sour fruity aroma and taste with spicy notes. Lasting finish. Ober (1165), Bommelerwaard, Netherlands Jun 17, 2008 A hazy golden colored beer, with a small beige head, with big bubbles. It disappears quickly. The aroma is very sour and complex. A bit vineger. Spicey tones, grapes and melon. The taste of strong sour apple. It is dry with touches of wood. The after taste is nice sour, with a bitter finish. BOLTZ7555 (1053), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Jun 15, 2008 Aroma is tart Granny Smith, cherry skin, lemon and funk. Appearance is golden orange and is truly a headless horseman. Flavor is extremely soured; grapefruit, orange peel, and lemon zest. Scratches the back of the throat. Palate seems a bit thin. wickedpete (625), Lexington Park, Maryland, USA Jun 15, 2008 Bottle dated Nov. 30, 2005 from Novare Res, Portland, ME, sampled on 6/6/08. Cloudy gold body, little head. A burnt aroma, toasted pumpkin seeds, light funk, and dust. Flavor has a noticeable bitterness of citrus rind, a subdued sour note creates a twinge in the back of the cheeks. A touch of woodiness. Light on the palate. grandet (477), Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 8, 2008 2005 vintage. Nice peach color pour with a nice white head. Aroma of sour fruit. Nice refreshing taste and light body. Flavor of sour fruit, maybe peach. Very well balanced and tasty. Def in my top ten. mcbackus (725), Merritt Island, Florida, USA Jun 8, 2008 bottle on january 17, 2006: pours a thick cloudy loking orange caramel colour little to almost no head, just a lingering white lilne on the edge of the glassleaves an oily lacing. aroma i s suttle at first then burst into some fresh orange orchard, flowery sweetness, honey, hopswarms up and the funky sout tart starts to creep in. other fruits start to arrive like apricot, fresh melon, tart apple skin. simply amazing and complex.
the flaovur is amazing and silky, flavours come in burst with honey fresh flowers, tart fruits, fresh apricot or peaches, again some fresh melon like the nose the finishes comes along with a nice tartness that ends up a litlle funky and dry. this a near perfect beer in every way. i cant believe it took me so long to try it.
