Bottle 37,5 cl (bottled march 2005). Pours a hazy yellow with a small white head and a fresh apple aroma with some hints of yeast and lemon. The flavor is mainly sour, almost like drinking lemon-juice, but just enough to stay drinkable. Some bitter notes and apple and grapefruit too. My first 3 fonteinen and this one totally rocks!

Not bad. It was more effervescent than I expected it to be on the pour, but it dissipated quickly. The taste was good, with a good sourness. All around very drinkable, however it did lack the depth and complexity that really make gueuze a treat.

Dark mildly hazy gold with a persistent off white head. Lemon grass and light barnyard aroma. The flavour is largely barnyard with a lot of citric like acidity and some distinct lemon. Tart finish with a nice fine bubbly mouthfeel.

(2006 Vintage) Wonderfully tart aroma. Hints of the barnyard, lemons, and oak playing around in there. Pours a clear golden amber, with visible carbonation rushing through it. It has a big fluffy white head that slowly subsides. This is very tart and dry. A touch of spice exists besides the citric tartness. Overall, quite a tasty Gueuze.

Shared with Axilla. 2006 bottle. Poured a cloudy gold color with a small white head. Aroma was a light funk yeast with a little citrus. Taste of slight lemon citrus, and a medium to light tartness. A little too fresh for my liking. If could afford to be more tart and a little more funky.

375 ml bottle. Small head with gold color. Flavor has light lemon/lime citrus and cheese funkiness. Some typical barnyard but it’s more fresh then usual. Just a great tasting beer.

Pours a hazy orange color, head settled fairly quickly. Smell is huge, the expected sour aroma is prevalent, along with some faint malty aroma. Taste is sour citrus, particularly lemon. Some wheat flavor as well. Mouthfeel is effervescent and smooth.

Sampled from a 12oz green bottle this beer poured a medium golden color with a small white head. The aroma was sweet, tart and acidic. The flavor was sharply bitter, tart and acidic. There was no sweetness on the taste. The finish was long and tart.
