Pours a cloudy apricot color with white head. Aroma is musty, apricot. Taste is somewhat sweet, tart. Balanced nicely. Super beer.

Bottle at home in London with Lyoli. Vintage 2008. Pours lightly hazy, deep gold with a large, frothy white head. Lovely, classic gueuze nose, all soured wheat, lemon and grass. Light to medium sweet flavor with assertive grassy bitterness and sturdy, quenching sour bite. Light to medium bodied with massaging carbonation. Clean, tart finish, robust but quick grassy bitterness, some citric lemon and citrus rind, restrained funk. Very faint warmth, but honestly, this is one of the most well-disguised 8% beers I have ever had. Supremely drinkable.

Hazy golden orange pour with a fizzy white head that quickly to a ring. Aroma is dusty, green apple, barnyard, citrus zest, and earth. Pretty complex. Taste starts with tart lemon and green apple, then a dusty funkiness comes through. Has a lot earthiness and faint vinegar as well. Dry and a bit astringent on the palate. Really enjoyable. 2009.

UPDATED: APR 2, 2013 Una delle migliori oude gueuze. Un acido che invade la bocca e non la lascia. Gusto deciso ma che difficilmente annoia. Annata 2005 da 37,5 cl.

Appearance: deep, hazy straw yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma: very tart nose, with lots of citrus, some wood, a bit of green apple, some herbal notes as well. Taste: tart and acidic up front, with green apple jolly rancher candy flavors, lemon, marmalade, with a saison-like funky malt underneath and a slightly peppery/grassy hop bite as well. Finish: very dry, almost wine-like, with lingering sweet/tart character; poured the lees for the final sip for a blast of vinegar-like tartness giving way to a strong barnyard funk. Notes: Wow, what a complex, awesome beer. 2009 vintage.

2007 Battle. Cloudy amber color, nose: some banana bit of vinegar , aroma is hard to define but for me the nearest is champagne with ale and you dont taste the Alcohol .Like all Geuze very interesting. Looking forward for the second bottle.

Hazy amber colour. Funky barnyard aroma. Sour barnyard lemon taste. A nice gueze.

Bottle. Pours a very cloudy amber color with a moderate white head on it. Nose is extremely tart with varying acidic elements to it and a hint of citrus. Taste is definitely quite sour and dry, making your mouth pucker. Very carbonated.

Pours cloudy brown with lacy white head. Aroma is sweet and sour with notes of vinegar. Bitter tart taste with a crisp sweet finish. Finishes like a fine champagne and overall delicious

Pours a hazy amber/blond with a nice flufy head. Aroma of funk, barnyard, little herbal, lemony. Taste is quite good. Lots of barnyard, lemon, little hay. Little body. A very refreshing and surprising geuze. Will have again for sure. .
