Bottled 12/11/00, so this one is exactly two years old. BOOM! says the cork. Sharp, biting cidery sourness in the nose. With a careful pour, the head is only medium-size, and pure white, receding pretty fast. Orange-straw body; hazy. Since I have sold my soul to Ratebeer, I always look forward to gueuze, and after an exhausting day, this is preordained to be the highlight. Fairly mild body, with lingering sourness. Nice complexity, with the flavors melding together wonderfully. Well-carbonated. Leaves a slightly sweet fruity taste in the mouth once the sourness dies off. Damn, you guys have ruined me for regular beer.

Aug 25, 2008 Bottle 2006: Pours a hazy deep golden orange with a creamy off white head. The aroma is super funk with a soft malt note in the back with subtle vanilla. Amazing funkiness with leather, farmhouse, horse blanket, acetic acid, rich old oak- just classic wild fermentation. Great fluffy body. The flavor starts with a musty basement note, along with horse blanket, leading to a citric acidity, cobwebs, cork, lemon-rind, a rounded, sharp, wheaty body, and an acidic finish with a late dryness. Has a touch of sweetness on the back when it warms. A quality Lambic with great funkiness and subtlety.

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.

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.

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.
