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, Dram Shop, Sheffield. 2005-06. Hazy golden colour with a very lively dissipating off white head. Enticingly complex aroma ; oaky and sour, da funk, and prickly citrus notes, revealed itself further with each sniff. Certainly a bubbly affair. Flavour a treat; funky sour, fruity n’ fresssshhhhhhh; becoming gobi dry. I would probably rather drink one of these instead of a glass of champagne. Straight outta the top drawer.

NomDeBeer (414) - Maryland, USA - APR 8, 2009
Heavily carbonated - bounced the cork off the cieling after opening. Light body and very fizzy. Sizable fluffy white head above a very hazy gold beer. Aroma is lots of lemons and hay, some yeast, but little funk. Taste is the same - did I mention lots of lemons? Tart, sour, and refreshing. Good beer, but for $10, it’s not worth the price of admission.

Jonte (1184) - Gothenburg, SWEDEN - APR 5, 2009
Bottle 2003-2004. Orange colour with a white head. Sour, acidic funky and dry, but very balanced. Lemon, green apples, light oak, light cheese. Very refreshing.

unclemike (1363) - Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA - APR 4, 2009
Pour is pale ruddy golden with a big bubbled off white head...smell is straw and funky horseblanket with a hint of sour drifting in...taste is definately dry and funky with lots of musty and dirty flavors...some strange bitterness comes on just before the swallow where some faint tartness comes out...decent, bot not amazing

redlight (2209) - Winter Park, Florida, USA - APR 2, 2009
funky horse blanket aromas, tart citrus fruit, grapefruit peel. Pours cloudy golden bonde with a thick white head. Tart funky citrus peel, grapefruits, dry and funky, with a great sourness. A great gueuze!!!

madvike (1298) - Middleton, Wisconsin, USA - MAR 22, 2009
Pours hazy amber with a big bubbly head. The aroma is musty and funky, with apples and cherries in the background. The first sip starts out slightly sweet, then finishes with a champagne-like dryness. There’s more apples, funk, horseblanket. The carbonation is a bit distracting and bites at times. This is my first gueze, and I have to say it grew on me as I finished my glass. Looking forward to trying this one again.

Rciesla (5500) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - MAR 20, 2009
Very fresh bottle, i think maybe a year or two on it. Pours a champagne body with a huge explosive white rocky head. Lemon citric acid, some subtle dry woody tart lemon with low acidity. Lactic acid and some woodiness rounds this one out.
