Bottle. Aroma is sweet with some acidic undertones. Taste is dry and acidic with tones of barn and a sour aftertaste.

On draught at De Cam Volkscafe. Pours a light golden colour with a lasting, thick white head. A lovely tart aroma of lemon, horse blanket and wet cardboard. Similar flavours and quite tart with a dry finish. Moderate carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel. Lovely. Also had the US version at the 21st Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation. Lovely and sharp.

Bottle, deeper golden pour. Funky aroma, earthy, lemony notes. Sweet, yet funky and sour. Lemony acidity. Citrus pith. Lighter funk. Training wheel gueuze

2007. Opaque brown beer with a fizzy head, Leathery woody lemon and pepper on the nose with some cherries and lychees. The taste is the same but with more fruitiness. The balance is beautiful with a delicious woodiness to it. Like well-laid Spanish wine.

Sampled at Where the Wild Beers Are, Brooklyn, 2012. The aroma is toast, butter, solvent, farmhouse. The appearance is hazy yellow, white head. The flavor is farmhouse, horseblanket, funk, light fruit. The finish is farmhouse, peppery. Nice! Very interesting.

# 3061 ersma: bei geuze muss ich immer an „asterix in belgien“ denken, wo der kleine stöpsel auf klo rennen muss, weil er heimlich von der geuze nascht. irgendwie ziemlich unrealistisch, denn es ist nur schwer vorstellbar, dass geuze kindern schmakchaft zu machen wäre... mein bier ist jung, von 2007, also grad mal 5 jahre alt. lt. mhd könnte es noch bis 2030 lagern. fürht zur spannenden frage, wie man auf ein mhd von 33 jahren kommt. trübe bernsteinfarben, mittelschaumig. der geruch ist fruchtig-säuerlich mit brett-noten. zitrus und saurer apfel. aber auch leicht süße töne. der antrunk ist säuerlich, aber nicht übertrieben. brettanomyces ist deutlich. recht sprudelig. nasses heu, saurer apfel, zitrus und natürlich die pferdedecke. zur mitte bleibt es sauer, aromenvon zitronenschale und herben kräutern. der abgang ist zunehmend hopfiger, auch süße noten treten deutlicher hervor, derwiel der grundcharakter natürlich säuerlich bleibt. vergorene äpfel und zitronenschale, aber auch etwas blumiges bestimmen den langen nachhall. die verkorkte demi-bouteille hat sehr reduzierte und darum umso schönere etiketten, die sich fast nur auf schwarz-weiß beschränken. fazit: sehr überzeugende geuze. unbedingt probierenswert. 11,12,11,11,14,11 11,30 3/5/1

75cl bottle, 2007. Orange colour, Nice foamy head. Aromas is sour with some hay. Taste is sour, but refreshing. A bit tart. Lots of flavours. Difficult to recognize. Heavy carbonation, champagne like.

375 ml bottle bought @ Bierzwerg.de. Pours slightly hazy golden with a small fizzy white head that quickly dissipates without leaving any trace on the glass. Smell is sour with lemon juice, apples, grapes, hay, leather, wheat crackers, cellared cheese, lemon zest, unripe berries and horse blanket. Taste is sour and tiny sweet with grapes, apples, hay, lemon juice, leather, unripe currants, cherry pits, alcohol and hints of apple cider vinegar and funk. Mouthfeel is dry, tart and medium bodied. Finish is tart with grape zest, lemon zest, green apples and leather.

Mi piace, più che il sapore, molto forte e intenso, l’odore! Odore di fattoria e sella di cavallo, così anche il sapore ma molto molto più intenso! Ora vorrei provare altre di questo genere!

750mL corked and caged bottle, 2004 vintage, best before 05.16.2028. Pours lively gold, slightly hazy but bright orange, with a fluffy 2-finger light beige head. Aromas of tart, acidic funk, horse, barnyard, and cheese. Tart raspberry seeds are also noticeable. The flavor is funky all-around. Horse blanket, old cheese rind, and mildly bitter wet hay. Overripe berry and cherry stones are present in the finish, with sour cherry acidity throughout. High carbonation and lively, with medium body; tart, with a bone dry finish; mouthwatering, and very easy-drinking for the ABV. This is really nice. Funky, tart, and flavorful, and it’s drinking prime. Every sip is growing on me. [994]

Bottle of the 2004, paired up with a Gordita from Taco Bell for the Rate Beer Scavenger Hunt season 2. Pours a fairly clear golden tinged amber with a large dense white head. Big sweet funk on the nose, sweet candied funk somehow. Medium bodied, gently funky, brett and more sweet-tart notes, never cloying or artificial, just a touch of sweetness that never really seems out of place, just unexpected. Nice and funky, more sweet tart candies on the finish, lingering funk and warm hints of acid. Nice.
