radiomgb (1749), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Aug 10, 2003 Updated: Jan 1, 2008 Golden orange in colour, lingering white coloured head, good lacing. The aroma is acidic, lots of lemon citrus, some sweetness is in here as well, woody with some banana. The flavour is sharp and tart, high acidity, agian lots of lemon citrus, woody with some pink grapefruit. Acidic mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes long, sour, acidic and dry. Very good Gueuze, high sourness and it kicks in right away. This has aged very well and is very drinkable right now.

PilsnerPeter (1394), Flushing, New York, USA 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. nick76 (2030), 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 (1275), 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 (1238), 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 (202), 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
