Hazy golden with a white head. A sour aroma of vinegar, horses and old apples. A nice sour flavor of granny smith apples, horses and stable. A dry and bitter finish.

375ml bottle@Kristiansand lambic festival. Hazy golden body with a creamy white head. Aroma is acid and sour grapefruit. Flavor is relatively mild acidulous compared to many other geuze. Still sour with a hint of citrus peel and malt! A nice treat and a good place to start for the lambic virgins.

Re-rate, 1999 Oude Gueze from Dunk @ RBSG summer gathering. Pours copper with no head. Nose is tart. Taste i svery tart and nice. from a 750ml bottle that i was so happy and shocked to see tonight at a party. Pours hazy orange with a little head. Taste is really nicely funky and strong with great sour potency. A really solid gueze if your in the mood.

The pour is a hazy moderate golden with a nice white head. Aroma has notes of sosurness, earthiness, some slight vinigar, fruitiness, and barnyard. Flavor has a twang to it with a sweet and sour combination. In addition tastes of fruit and an earthiness are present. Slight astringincy at the finish with a touch of vinigar like acidicy.

Bottle. A hazy yellow without a head. Aroma is sour, but is still based on a malty sweet base, giving it a barn-like expression. Flavour begins with a yeasty sourness, then turns around with oak, caramel, and a round finish. The sourness lingers all along - a great example!

Bottle @ Copenhagen Øl Festival. Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Spar lacing. Clear golden color. Heavy acidic with notes of dust, barnyard, milky acidic, grain, fruit, berries and vinegar. Medium bodied with an average carbonation. Moderated sour notes with light sweet flavor. Impressive dry and sour finish that lingers.

Brux 07. This was sampled at The Delirium Tremens and am pretty sure the label said vintage 1999? Pours a hazy amber with a small white head and a hint of lacings. Smells of cheese and sulphur with an interesting hint of wood and dried resin. Very sour with a light bitterness. Grainy aromas with citron and grapefruit. Lots of earth and some vinegar. Hint of wine. Medium bodied. Lively carbonation. Way too sour for me.

Thanks to Lars for a sampler. Smells of resin. Pours a hazy golden with little white head. Tres sour with woody flavors. Also some honey. Learning to love this style is proving a long process.

Bottle. Cloudy light brown beer with a strong bubbly head. The aroma is dry and sour and the flavour is quite fruity sour and dry/fizzy at the finish. Overall an average beer.
