COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Geuze, a mixture of old and young Lambic. The young Lambic is added to cause a refermentation in the bottle making for a delightfully sparkling and dry beer that has been likened, in all seriousness, to Champagne.

Bottle enjoyed at home
Golden, big white head. Smells of funky brett, some fruits, earthy notes and some farm smells. Also a quite distinct burned rubber. Quite malty flavor, some sweetness and quite dominant acid sourness. Alot of nice tart tones. Some nice bitterness in the end

dantheman278 (739) - SCOTLAND - JAN 21, 2012
Bottle at home. 2009-2010 vintage. Pale slightly hazy orange amber, massive white head eventually subsides leaving some lacing and a fingers worth of foam. Nose is beautifully sour - green apples, hint of balsamic vinegar, some sherbet, sour grapes. Palate is bone dry, vinous, sherbet fizz, slightly earthy also. Finish is sour and acidic but not massively tart. Nice.
