Had this before, but the rate comes from a bottle @ De Garre. Orange with tight white head. Aroma is full of pepper, miinerals, and funk. Taste is slightly sour with lemony notes. Not too spritzy on the palate. Finish is sour and drying with little lingering. A classic for sure, and my rating for this likely increases as this ages.

750ml Bottle: Tart aroma of fruit, spicy wood, and minerals. Poured amber/orange in color with a small, off-white head that lasted throughout. Slightly hazy. Sparkling. A few mall particles. Heavily tart flavor. Tastes of tart fruit, tons of wood, light pear, slight vanilla, and acid. Medium body. Dry texture. Average carbonation. Woody, tart, lightly dry finish. Delicious.

Poured a orangish red with big foamy head. Strong sourness up front. Lots of fruits and floral form a backdrop for the sour vinegar. These would include sour apple, citrus and hibiscus. Beneath the fruits is yet another layer of maltiness-wheat and pale malts. A musty yeast theme connects all these layers. This beer is either the product of thousands of years of diligence and beer knowledge or simply the beauty of throwing together local ingredients with the natural yeast in the air and crossing fingers. What ever it is, it works.

cloudy burnt orange, thick foamy white head. very dry sharp citrussy aroma, tons of green apples and some yeast. taste is extremely sour in the front (and middle) and ending with some super dry bittersweet apples, long sour candy finish. other flavors are hard to discern, there is some woodyness (part of the dryness) and some yeast. medium carbonation and body take a back seat to flavors.

Bottle 0,375l. Opens with a good shot. A huge champagne-like head. Strong aroma og spice & fruit. Sourish. Golden colored. A bit hazy. Varied flavor of fruit but most of it is overshadowed by the sourishness. A lasting dry fruity aftertaste. My first geuze. KI=2
