4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
This is an insanely great beer! Subtle, complex, yet strong sour cherry aroma AND flavor (pickled cherries?). Tart as hell, but absolutely delicious!

(RBSG2003): Murky amber body with virtually no head. Aroma is tart, barnyard, slightly fruity. Taste is TART -- from opening through the swallow. Oh my goodness that's tart! Medium acidic body.

RBSG2003. Wonderfully sour -makes me cringe. Classy cheese (ricotta?) flavorings. Amazingly light. Glows from an internal cloudy source. I'm salivating just thinking about it. We owe a big debt of gratitude to ToddA for breaking this out. Trap and others are right, melon and lemon and mustiness predominate. Utterly fantastic.
4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Massively tart & sour with a nose of a thousand descriptions: the whole damn farm, steel mill operations, leather, fruitcake, last years fruitcake, fruitcake from 1977, etc. There are some fruity notes for the palate, mostly light and citrusy. This seems so "alive" in the mouth. The finish is a mile long and it gets drier and drier. Nearly perfect drink, thanks to ToddA for explaining how he came to purchase this, and for letting it flow into my glass. It is extremely hard to believe that this comes from the same party that is responsible for the LaBecasse geueze!

A tremendous offering of tart gueuze unlike anything I had previously experienced. Incredibly funky with old-ass moldy cheese, leather, hay, exrement, moldy wood, iron and countless other insane goodies to enjoy. The intensity. The experience. Blessed be the gueuze.

Murky amber lemon. Quick foam. Lovely aroma takes you on an adventure with metallic and musty notes, iron, peach, leather, old banana skin, and chalk. Faint notes of cotton and earth. Firmly soft palate. Lovely farmy flavors paired with tropical fruits. Finishes dry, long, and zesty with notes of lemon, leather, iron, melon, and musty wood. The second best Gueuze I've sampled. A breathtaking example. Cheers to ToddA for sharing this gem!
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Light-amber, hazy. No head.Green grapes in the nose, very slight sulphur, lemon, slight “horseblanket”. First impression is reasonably mellow taste, than an onslaught of lactic acid and lemon-squash. Some notes of lemon peel, nutmeg and pepper. Great! Very lipsmacking refreshing mouthfeel. Dry-out effect too. Long dry, sourish aftertaste – and nice to boot. Marvellous gueuze. Is produced only on/off, last time? Several beerbars in Belgium still have it available. It is probably the only top-class commercial Interbrew product in existence.
