Bottle thanks to CMUBEERMAN. Pours cloudy gold with perpetual white head. Aroma is amazingly distinct; cedar and funky. Flavor is cedar, musty, and sour. This is a fabulous beer.

Orange amber yellow coloured beer, with an average white head, and some carbonation. Sour fruity yeasty aroma, with some wooden hints. Nice body, sour touches, balanced. Finish is again sour, ending rather dry. This is a good old gueuze!

Vintage 2000, opened on the day I officially finished graduate school. Brewed at the beginning of my college experience and consumed at the end of my schooling. Pours a brilliant effervescent straw gold with a voluminous off-white head. Aroma is tart and sour, with notes of cherries and grapes. Flavor is tart and acidic, but much more refined than younger gueuzes I have drank. Instead of harsh tones, they’re subdued and balanced. Mustiness and ripe fruit abound, with some cheese and lemon coming through. All the flavors, while distinct and complex in their own right, mesh beautifully with one another. Just fantastic all around; a truly memorable beer.

1999 Vintage. Well-hazed golden/amber under fully-diminishing white. Acidic, grapey, winish aroma. Flavor finds a fruity lift after a sour start. Thin, dry body. Highly drinkable. (3.6 is an excellent rating from me for a gueuze.)

Bottle dated 01/28/03 This beer pours a cloudy orange and slightly yellowy color with a thin white head with fluffy lacing. The aroma is super duper funky with leather, banana and barnyard. Hints of wood and acidity dance in my head. Holy puckering assraming christ...funk-o-ramic! Lemony, grassy, cheesy, pearish, acidic, FUNKY CHEESE, with a hint of cardboard toward the finish. Cheese cheese cheese...!!!!! Not that i have anything against cheese. Dry finish, tart!!! Que fantastico. Prickling carbonation hints of hay and plums.

Bottle at Restobières, Brussels. Hazy amber with a stable offwhite head. Complex pineapple and woody aroma. Pineapples flavours, good acidity, very dry, ending on an oakey vanilla and woody note. Well-carbonated, medium to light body. Simply one of the best beers on the planet.

Robe dorée foncée voilée surmontée d’une mousse beige épaisse en dentelle qui persiste. Arômes acides de poussière, de liège et de houblon amérisant. Saveurs âcres et acides de pommes vertes, de citron et de liège.
