4/15/07, 750ml, bottled 2/04 (aged 3 years). i found this on sale for $12.99. pours a beautiful glowing orange with a red tint to it and fluffy white head. to me, a perfect looking beer. nose had wonderful notes of brett, lots of oak, barnyard funk, cheese, and very sour smelling. flavor was a wonderful balance between oak, brett, acidity, and lemon. nothing overdone here and this gueuze just works perfectly. a wonderful treat! 4.4.
9/3/07, another tasting of a 10 year old bottle dated Dec. 1997 at the 3 Fonteinen restraunt. sampled this next to a 2004 vintage as well. at 10 years of age this was really mellow, rounded out acidity, a very nice aged geuze for sure, both vintages were great but the 04 was more sour and citrusy - it grabs you and wont let go. the best "reg. line-up" geuze currently on the market, period! 4.3.
7/10/08, 375ml bottle, bottled 2/12/08. thanks xnoxhatex for sharing. once again an incredible gueuze similar 3F, oaky, musty, lemon, vinegar, musty. wow awesome! 4.3.

Oct 12, 2008 A lot of flavors combined into a glass full of awesomeness. All the terms used to describe this stuff - metal, horseblanke, barnyard, dust, battery acid - don’t sound appetizing, but they combine to create a winner.

Oct 4, 2008 Denne er 99 udgaven. Uklar med et lille hvidt skum. Grapefrugt, stikkelsbær, eddike, dejlig sur og stikker lidt på tungen. Intet kulsyre. Dejlig og lækker.

Sep 29, 2008 Sample at J Gumbos Aug 2008 Indy tasting - Didn’t see the age, but was a 375ml so probably newer. Aroma is funky, horse blanket, oak and a touch of spice. I could keep my nose in there all day. Flavor starts off in the barn with hay, straw and horse followed by some sour grapes and grapefruit. Spice from the yeast shows up as well. Palate is tart and dry as well as tart and dry. Very nice stuff that I need to get a bottle for myself.

Sep 27, 2008 2001. pinkish hued cloudy gold with awesome lacing under a huge sudsy soapy head. black pepper, sour peach, brett, maybe even some banana notes in aroma. flavors of white grape, vinegar, acid, sour peach, brett, and a hint of the peppery spice from the aroma. nicely aged and mellowed. not sure if its the aging but i really like this one.

Sep 21, 2008 An easy drinking geuze, sessionable stuff. Somehow reminds me of Noilly prat which is good since I really like that stuff. Nicely sour, not rewiring your tastebuds after one bottle. Never thought I would find a beer with a vinegary nose this drinkable but we do live and learn.
