February 2004 bottle. Nice looking orange color with med-large fizzy white head. Vinous aroma with some dark fruits and wine mixed in. Taste is a uniquely sour and complex mix of dark and tart fruits, oak, dry red wine, and yeast. Amazing complexity and a fantastic finish - great brew! Re-rate with a 1999 bottle - hard to put into words, just really damn good. Wonderful stuff.

75 cL drank at 3 Fonteinen cafe in Beersel. Bottled 12/1997--more than 9 years old. No label. Dirty copper color with thin, soapy head. The challenging acidity and sourness were but memories... This was exceptionally mellow, refreshing. Lemons and old socks were still there, with some tartness. Unusual and enjoyable.

Sour aroma--and that’s it. Golden brown body sports a full palate for the style. Nicely done sour flavor--very tart but still drinkable. Some oak flavors in the aftertaste help to balance the acidity.

Drank in a stem glass. Poor a couldy caramel color with a small off-white head. Aromas of crab apples, my oid humid basement... i can honestly say that it smells like my freakin’ gym bag. This has to be the ultimate gueuze. Ultimate sourness, acid beyons beleife.... Not to drink ifyou have bad ulcers, unless you have a roll of tums ready. Taste is basically the same as the aromas added cranberiies.

Bottle from Beer Circus. Golden with thin effervescent white head. Tart nose of vinegar, citrus and orange zest. Taste to match. Well balanced. What’s there to say that hasn’t been said? Damn good stuff.

Bu au Bistro L’Autre Oeil, à Gatineau, en bouteille 375 ml. Jaune dorée, mince collet. Arome de gingembre, d’agrume sûrette et un peu d’herbe plaisant. Goût de gingembre pétillent avec une sensation d’grume légé qui chatouille la gorge!

Clear golden copper with orange shades and a amazing white creamy head. There is clean notes of apple, peach and bitter lemon. Alot of acidity and sourness wich suit this beer perfectly. Completely dries out you mouth because of it’s tannins..
