Sep 16, 2007 2003-poured into geuze/lambic glass. crystal, bubbly clear light golden copper color with good fizzy head. sour wild yeast aroma, tart. sweet front to sour finish. very spritzy palate, earthy finish to aftertaste. age takes the bite out, the acidic tones of a geuze don’t stick as much. the stickiness is less presence, makes it smooth. very good.

Sep 10, 2007 Slightly hazed orange with a dense fine white head. Sour tart in the nose along the lines of Liefman’s. A bit bit of salt, strawberry, some lactobaccilus and straw. Low fine carbonation with a bit more thickness than water. Tart and lively. Heavy on the lactobaccilis. A bit of salty fruit. this gives a nice bracing sharp refreshing tartness. Really clean, lingering tartness in the finish. Not bad, but I’m a sucker for the style lately.

Sep 10, 2007 Bottle @ Rudolf’s ’Sourfest’. 2006 Vintage. Hazy orange yellow body with a smallish foamy white head (3+). Pretty funky musty yeastiness in the aroma, light wheaty notes. (7+) Pretty sourt first wave washes brazenly over your tongue, dropping chewed lemon seeds along the way, and whispering secrets about its cousin the grapefruit. (7+) Average palate. A pretty solid Geuze. 7+/3+/7+/3/16-17

1999 bottle at Rudolfs Lambic Tasting 2009. Courtesy of Ethan from Premier Gourmet. Liking these much more now. Taste was funk, earthy, mildly carbonated with a fruity wine-iness. Best of the day 7-4-8-4-17

Sep 6, 2007 750ml bottle shared by Sliffy & Pud - Poured Amber and quite cloudy with a good sized offwhite head. Aroma is straight up funk, cheese, and big sourness. Behind that I could get just a hint of oak. Flavor is much the same. Lots of funk, sourness, cheese and behind that a hint of some oak and maybe some pear. Lively carbonation leaves you with a fizzy mouthfeel and slightly acidic.

Aug 25, 2007 RATING #200!!!
2004 bottling, lot 22. First example of the style, I’m excited. Pours a gorgeous combo of plum and orange, with a small white head that fades to a sudsy white ring on top of the beer. The aroma is alive - yeast, funk, spice, honey, lemon, oranges and barnyard notes. Smells divine. Wow, this is amazing. Lemon, hay, orange, honey, clove, yeast and a wonderful flavor from the oak aging. Finish is lemony tart, not mouth puckering, supremely long in length and fades to a nice honey sweetness. Feels a bit flat on the tongue, medium bodied with a nice tartness coming through on the palate. One of the best beers I have had so far.
