2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
05 bottle at the First CST sample #2. Pours golden, looks a bit syrupy. Aroma is also a bit sweeter with lots of funk, honey, definitely on the sweeter side. This is still a bit of a mess, so much residual sugar, quite funky though, finishing oddly bitter and tannic. Sharp fizzy soda pop carbonation.

Pours a hazy orange yellow color with thick white head. Aroma are strong, with fruity and apples and citrus. Flavors of strong sour apples, oak, and a bit smokey. A dry and acid ending, Not sweet, but a well balanced and refreshing geuze.

Bottle. Deep golden colour with a huge white head. Slightly stuffy aroma with notes of apples and citrus. The flavour is sour with hints of apples and lemon. High carbonation. Decent gueuze, not as acidic as I was expecting.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Small bottle 2005-2006. Poured in an cantillon flute. The body is moisty corn yellow with an impressive white head that fades quickly though - Seems to be pretty hard carbonated. The nose is pretty acidic with notes of vinegar, apples and sour green grapes. The taste is a bitter sweet symphony with some nutty notes like almonds and a mild but kinda strange grapfruity finish. The mouthfeel is light to medium with the caracteristic butter touch.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
05 from the First Annual Chicago Sour Tasting, thanks to Andrew. lightly murky golden pour. Sickly sweet aroma, mild tobacco, some weird spiciness, phenolic, hints of maple syrup. Flavor is sweet but also astringent and bitter. More dark tobacco like flavors. Leaves a lasting dry woody/bitter flavor on the tongue. Meh, not the best for sure.
