COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Blend of 1, 2, and 3 year old lambics.
A true Geuze - a blend of 1, 2, and 3 year-old lambic, unfiltered and unpasteurized, and aged in the bottle for at least a year after blending. Refermentation in the bottle gives this Geuze its famous champagne-like spritziness. The lambic that goes into it is brewed only with 60% barley malt, 40% unmalted wheat, aged hops, and water, spontaneously fermented by wild yeasts, and matured in oak casks.

Bottle from 0L. This is one of my first gueuze/lambics and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Really balanced, nice carbonation.

Bière-Luc (358) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 15, 2013
Bière blonde orangée, voilée, avec une effervescence précipitée et un mince col mousseux. Le nez est sauvage, fruité... légèrement vinaigré et sucré. Mais c’est en bouche que la magie opère : un pétillement digne d’un champagne s’empare de ma bouche avec une acidité franche et une présence incroyable sur la langue. Une certaine âcreté demeure en finale, mais la bière est magnifique dans son ensemble.

ComradeK (749) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - JUN 12, 2013
750ml bottle. Pours a hazy deep gold, with a medium white head, which lasts reasonably well and leaves a little lace. The aroma has a fair bit of sourness, along with leather, oak, riesling and raspberry notes. It is potently sour up front, with lime and apple skin notes. Leathery, oaky flavours come in at the mid-palate, with a touch of raspberry freshness. More sourness at the finish brings in lime and tart apple. This is an excellent gueuze. Its potent, lasting sourness gives it great drive, but it has plenty of substance to back that sourness. Very enjoyable indeed.

Blond/amber colour, a lot of white foam. Very well balanced geuze. Not excessive sour but very moderate. Also bitter and dry. Sour finish. Very good beer!

Bottle shared by Vinny. Thank you. Aroma of great lemon zest, sea brine, leather and barnyard. Pours hazy blonde with a small but decent fizzy head. Taste is pretty much perfect with oysters, lemon zest, apricot, and wheat. Just delightful. Wish they made stuff like this all the time for cheap.
