Aug 16, 2007 Sampled during the First Annual Stone Sour Fest. Sour acidic aromas. Golden orange and hazy with a smallish head. Flavors were acidic as well, with a rather nice lingering bitterness. A nice Gueuze.

Aug 13, 2007 Updated: Apr 13, 2008Smells like a shoe, sour funk.. like an old lady fart passing through an onion. Golden unfiltered. Great lacing. Great llambic, Very tart almost sour. Golden unfiltered color. most tart beer i have ever had. Enjoyable, had this beer at the 30th annual great british beer festival. this one was a nice change of pace, but could drink more then one of these in a sitting. I just prefer fruit flavored lambics more.

Aug 11, 2007 Aroma is very similar to 1809. Very citrus and slightly hay-like. Taste is very acidic and dry with a very, very slight bitterness at the end. Very refreshing beer.

Jul 26, 2007 Sampled at the 1st annual Stone Sour Festival 2007. Awesome top 3 of the day. Very drinkable, very delicious. Loved how it felt in my mouth, loved how you wanted more after every taste.

Jul 25, 2007 What can I say? I guess that beers like this are a reminder of just how fantastic the world of beer can be. It looks absolutely fantastic, with a steady stream of bubbles holding up a thick, foamy head. Aroma is heavy on the citrus (lemon particularly) and oak (in the best possible way) and light on the more wild elements that enhance something like Girardin and detracts from something like Cantillon. As a result I’d say it’s not the most complex aroma in the world of gueuze but it’s incredibly focussed, and it’s focussed on deliciousness. It tastes so soft, fresh and juicy after more than two years in the bottle, with an incredibly clean acidity. So incredibly drinkable... and these days I think that’s the point with gueuze. It’s the kind of thing that makes you stop getting all geeky and just sit there and drink. Fantastic.
