Bottle. Pours a translucent olive-orange with absolutely no head. The aroma is very tart yet wheaty. As it hits the tongue, an interesting funk grabs the taste buds as the extremely light carbonation causes a subtle tingle. The funk would be attributed to aged milk and socks. As weird and possibly grotesque as it sounds, it’s actually an interesting flavour. Subtle attributes of a mild cheese lingers in the background. As the brew sits on the tongue, a burning tartness begins to escalate. (I haven’t found anything that I can attribute to the sourness, other than what a spoiled, fermented beverage may taste like; but I am not willing to get a stomach pump, ever.) Wheat explodes as the brew passes the tongue. The finish is a nice mix of wheat, subtle mild cheese, and a good amount of tartness. It’s dry. I find myself gritting my teeth a few times while drinking this.
Geuze seems to be a hard style for me to rate without using what seems like disgusting descriptions. But this is seriously really good.

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.

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

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.
