Dec 26, 2007 Clear golden with shot lasting head. Sour complex aroma. Flavor has horseblanket, hay, leather, wood and grapefruit. Good balance. Very good!

Dec 22, 2007 Bottled Feb 14, 2004. Gold with a bit of haze. Full white head leaves a thin lasting layer of white bubbles. Crisp salt nose with zest and sourness. Sourness sinks into the teeth and jaw immediately. Beer seems in perfect condition. Surprisingly drinkable with such a strong edginess. Hint of sweetness in the midst of the salt and sour and gueuze.

Dec 12, 2007 This beer was a pretty good gueuze, although I found it very acetic, and although the sourness was nice I would’ve enjoyed a bit more sourness and champagne character. Nonetheless, still pretty good. Thanks to SurlySober for sharing this bottle with me.
Appearance was an attractive hazy straw color with two fingers of fluffy white head. Aroma was a mix of light champagne character, acetic vinegar-ness, and a bit of fresh-cut apple fruitiness. This beer also seemed a bit light-struck. Flavor was rather sour, but didn’t totally make me pucker. There was also some light apple and champagne notes. Mouthfeel was fairly light and bubble-y and appropriate. I did enjoy this beer and would recommend it.

Dec 11, 2007 Refrescante. Aroma de vinagre azedo. No paladar, surpreende por não ter tanto vinagre, mas não percebi complexidade.

Dec 8, 2007 375ml bottle. A cloudy gold colour with a decent white head that left plenty of lace. Aroma of citrus tartness, the barnyard and sour apples. Very spritzy mouth feel with flavours of lemon, yeast and wheat. The finish was tart and very long. Excellent.

Pours a dark orange body with a large foamy white head - receding to a small white creamy covering. Very dry aroma has some nice properties but remains mostly woody oak and earthy in most aspects. Flavour is quite smooth and not completely funky. Predominantly dry and woody flavour. Finishes with a slight grapefruit twang but it’s not overly complex. Pleasant and refreshing level of carbonation.
I’ve had vintages that I’ve enjoyed more so perhaps I need to be a more diligent with my samplings.
Bottled November 2005, picked up at Premier Gourmet in Buffalo and drunk on November 30, 2007.

Nov 25, 2007 In Nov 07 had a bottle which was bottled 2004. Very clean, but not exactly rich. I should try this again in a few years because it felt like fruity notes were trying to poke out but either I’m not advanced enough or the beer isn’t deep enough to get them through. Who bets the former?! As is: a remarkably clean and sour geuze with only the vaguest fruit undertones.
