Now this is a nice Gueuze. Bitter and sour, with lemon and lime flavors jumping out at you. Finishes sweet with a nice natural wheat flavor. One of the best Gueuzes I’ve had, absolutely recommended for those who appreciate the style.

Sour only slightly funky nose. Hazy orange, no head, some lace ... as an old geuze should look and smell ... but neither the nose nor the appearance doe much to recommend the beer. Dead flat in the mouth as well. Flavor is interesting, but not nearly as complex as a Cantillion Iris.

A hazy golden colored beer, with a small beige head, with big bubbles. It disappears quickly. The aroma is very sour and complex. A bit vineger. Spicey tones, grapes and melon. The taste of strong sour apple. It is dry with touches of wood. The after taste is nice sour, with a bitter finish.

Bottle brought by emacgee, and poured into everyone else’s glass first, such that we had to then pour back some into generous Ethan’s own glass, selfish bastards that we are. This is a beer to be greedy about (or a beer to share with good friends... one in the same, right?). Pours hazy to cloudy yellow-orange, depending on how far down the bottle. Surprisingly lovely and prominent head. Funky barnyard, tart lemon and apple, oaky, white grapefruit in oodles. Lovely, lovely beer.

1999 Bottle. Hazy, golden/orange color with a small head. Awesome aroma, typical of many gueuze’s. Musty, sour, barnyard, cherries. Flavor was quite good also. Sour and somewhat astringent. Very dry with a nice clean aftertaste. Excellent, but not as complex as Girardin Black Label.

This beeer pours a cloudy medium-orange color with a huge frothy head that lasts and leaves a nice lacing. The aroma is a complex, earthy wall; full of yeasty barnyard, cellar, hay, lemongrass, citrus, wood and sour apple. The palate is light-to-medium, thin and highly carbonated. Quite fizzy and smile-inducing in the mouth. The flavor—like the aroma—is a wall of complexity. It begins with a blast of sour and moderate sweetness, quickly giving away to a clean, dry finish. I can’t wait to come revist this beer after I build my frame of reference a bit more.

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.

2004 vintage. Thanks to tjthresh for this bottle. Nose is pure heaven with a soured fruit-barnyard aroma that I now find irresistible. So much funky weirdness that I can’t always explain this flavor. It is wonderful
