Jun 24, 2006 Bottle January 2004. At first, you only taste the sourness of this gueuze, but once you get used to it WOW! a wonderfull world of complexity just unveil its secrets. Pours a deep hazy golden with a medium white head. The aroma is citrusy witu hints of grapefruit, barnyard, herbs and yeast. Taste is dominated by a wave of sourness, followed by citrus, grapefruit, currant, horse blanket, funky barnyard. Full body and an everlasting finish.

Jun 20, 2006 mon dieu! i’ve died and gone to heaven and all the angels are belgian brewers! ah, geuze, either you love ’em or you’re nuts! the beauty of this golden, richly foamy-headed geuze takes my breath away. love that citrusy-hay-earthy nose and the dry, tart grapefruit tingles the tongue, tipping my tastebuds towards nirvana!

Jun 19, 2006 Bottled (2002). Rated already in the end of April, but missed it in my beer logbook. Pale orangeish colour with surprisingly good head for a lambic. Aroma is yeast, fruits and sourness. The flavour is sour apples with hints of also citrus and some yeast. Very refreshing beer after getting used to the biting, crispy sourness. I think this would fit perfectly at a cheese table.

Jun 14, 2006 1999 bottle shared at Sven’s homebrew party. This poured a light orangr color with a good sized head. Aroma was very distinct with notes of yeast, citrus, and a hint funkiness. Initial flavor was very tart. A light-bodied beer with lots of citrus and sour notes. Dry, refreshing after taste. A great summer beer, perfect in the almost 90 degree weather I consumed this in.

Jun 11, 2006 Ummm, this was the wedding day beer so it gets a couple more points for setting. Either way it is the smoothest, nicest gueuze I’ve had.

Jun 9, 2006 Vintage: 28.Feb.04. Poured a cloudy hazy yellow-amber color with tons of carbonation and a huge head. The aroma was typical for the style, lots of citrus-lemon aromas mixed into the funky barnyard, hay, and horse blanket aromas. There was even a note of spicing in the aroma, somewhat coriander or clove-like (but not). The flavor was much of the same (minus the spice in the aroma) and it warmed very nicely. The mouthfeel was full and dry. This one was more tart than the cuvee renee I had, but still quite enjoyable and a fair representation of the style.

Jun 8, 2006 Vintage 1999 - Unclear orange body, huge yellow head; Incredible nose with lots of ripe apple, some ripe orange juice, a little wood and a very little vinegar, incredible balance; Huuuge very light carbonation, a bit watery in a quite sour a bit harsh body; Evolving into long, long super balanced finish with old apples, orange peel harsh. Great, great beer with a lot of very pleasant balance, the harshness is the only thing that brings it away from 5.0!
