Brewed by 3 Fonteinen
Style: Lambic - Gueuze
Beersel, Belgium

Bottle 37,5 cl at Carlsens Kvarter. Unclear golden - white head. Woody, earthy, gooseberries, grape. I love it.

Damn good geuze...I was in belgium for about around 4 nights and this was the best I had. Looks gold and has a big white head. Aroma is perhaps a little more balanced and tame than most highly rated geuze...lots of tart fruit, but not too much funk. Flavor is also quite mild...sure it is very sour...but there are some nice floral and fruit notes...and it is very well balanced. Mouthfeel was quite dry and carbonated.

RBSG 2006, Grand Tasting. Cloudy copper with a white head. Sour fruits/cherry and brett in the nose. Very very tart, citric and sour with cherry in there. Thin body with a very spritzy, dry mouthfeel - totally dried out the lining of my mouth. Interesting stuff, but not really my thing.

Bottles sampled with Beerded-one. Pours hazy orange\golden with a gigantic off-white head. Aroma of citrus, fermented fruit, sourness, oak, and yeast. The flavor is carbonated, yeast, fermented fruit, sour, citrus, and oak. Good body, decent brew for a style i don’t care for.

Hazy peach-golden with a large white head. To me the aroma is the most evocative feature of this celebrated beer, its musty, dusty, yeasty, cobwebby scent redolent of brasseries artisanales hidden in grimy backwaters of la Belge profonde where the uneven brick floors have soaked up decades of spilt fruits and lambics. Taste combines tartness with grapefruit bitterness to make a memorable drinking experience.

Bottle. Nice hazy dark gold body with average carbonation and a thin but lasting white foamy head. Typical Gueuze sour aroma that hides the alcohol very well. Very sharp sour taste with oaky and herbal hints. Ends with a long and robust sour, dry finish. Excellent example of the Gueuze style.

Bottle. Rating #3000. Hoo ra. Pops with a light fizz, very light carbonation, near unblended... The color is golden orange. The nose is beautiful; a multifacetted tart/sweet funky dream. Lots of fruit and sweet malts; clashing tart, sour, funk, whoa. The flavor is...damn, near perfect. A light sweet malt is up at bat first followed by the growing tartness that peaks with a light floral and tickling mouthfeel. Finishes balanced and woody. Awesome geuze.
