Bottle. Bought at Premier Gourmet, March 06. Bottled January 22, 2004. Pours bubbly orangish yellowish. Nice frothy white head that nicely laced the glass and was present all the way to the end. Sour aroma. Not as sour as I expected, nice good balance between the oak and sourness. As it warmed fruity notes appeared, mostly like raisans. This is my far the best Lambic i’ve had. I’m sure it has mellowed a bit. Carbonation was lively and present in each sip. Light, fluffy body. Nice sourish/orangish lingering aftertaste.

Jul 17, 2008 2006 Bottle from Beerlando. Pours gold-brown with a whirlpool of carbonation hurrying up to a huge head that leaves thick bubbly lacing. The aroma is a deep barnyard sourness with peppery notes underneath, and behind that there are apples, peaches, and with a deep swirl of the glass some caramel. The flavor is a strong musky sourness, complex and hard to pin down, balanced by a fruit-tartness that folds in and out. Smooth if slightly puckering with strong carbonation.

Taste: mostly sour, strong, well crafted. 8 out of 10.

Overall: Very mindful of other lambics, and it’s done well, but it is definitely not a preferred style for me. I would not seek it out again, but it was very well crafted, and highly respectable. 17 out of 20.

Jul 13, 2008 Pours out cloudy light orange. Fruity and sweet, but tart. Not to tart.Tasty with a meal or before.

Jul 11, 2008 12.7 oz. bottle. A good, but not great, gueze. Great color - a little orange in the mix. Aroma was lemony but not too intense. This is very dry and somewhat tart. All of the flavor is up front and goes away quickly. However, It did quench my thirst and worked well as an appetizer for my meal. I do like the Cantillon Classic Gueze, Hanssens Oude Gueze and the Boon Oude Geueze quite a bit more.
