aerosol999 (113), Quebec, Canada Oct 2, 2007 (bottle 08/04/2005) Thanks Nadia!
Appearance: Copper gold and crystal clear (at least the first glass was) thick moussy head.
Aroma: Fruity and yogurty, berries and wheat, light sourness, Camembert, strawberries, rhubarb and leather.
Flavour: Briefly sweet but then tart and clean, acidic with a horsey brett character. No residual sweetness. LIght wineyness. Wood and rhubarb, good wheat character.
Mouthfeel: Very light with a fluffy effervescence. Sharp but pleasant sourness.
Overall: Clean sour and sharp acidity with complex wheat and horsey brett character. Finishes light and leaves a fruity sourness. Great refreshing summer beer.
nick76 (2015), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 17, 2008 The aroma is sour with tart fruit, lactic bacteria, yeast, urine, wood, and sugar. The appearance is cloudy and copper with a small head. The flavor is tangy is like the aroma. The palate is average. Overall not something I want again despite being complex and highly ranked here. Palidor19 (1245), Brandon, Florida, USA Aug 17, 2008 Gueuze is not very favorite style, however I can appreciate this beer because of the expressive flavors, and the non abrasive tartness of the beer. its pours lively with some substance, it sourness is strong tangy with the mild wood in the background. well done. jake65 (1216), Meridian, Idaho, USA Aug 16, 2008 Bottle (vintage 11.30.05): Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Still full of carbonation. Smells sweet and fruity, woody, and tart. Apples and oak. Taste is again, sweet and fruity followed by lots of tart and some woody notes. A wonderfuly smooth and puckering experience. Thanks to BuckDich for delivering this splendid gueuze. oakbluff (198), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Aug 13, 2008 Vintage 2000- bottle shared courtesy of piscator34- nice looking stuff- golden hay colour and good carbonation. Nose- wood, citrus, leather. Taste- nice citrus zing, some green apple, very dry and woody. Goes down easy.. Finish and mouthfeel is more dry than puckering. Very solid NomDeBeer (129), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Aug 11, 2008 Tastes like lime, lemon, and grapefruit juice all romed into one dry, funky concoction. Sour and acidic but still very enjoyable and drinkable. Lively carbonation gives this a light and refreshing mouth feel. Too bad it’s so expensive where I live, but I’ll buy it again.
