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.

(Corked bottle.) Truly golden color with a creamy head. A lot of acidity. Tastes like lemon and bitterness. Good geuze.

BlackForestCO (944) - Aurora, Colorado, USA - MAR 15, 2009
Bottle. Poured a clear golden color with a 1/4 inch thick white head that faded to a thin layer. Aroma of tart citrus (orange and lemon, light peach), some funk (barnyard and horse blanket), and a moderate yeastiness (some cobweb). Tart, lightly funky entry leads into a sour (lemon and hints of grapefruit), funky barnyard yeastiness with some cobweb and horse blanket that finishes with a kiss of oak. Soft carbonation. A solid geuze I could drink pretty much any time.

dalekliz (648) - San Diego, California, USA - MAR 14, 2009
Bottle at O’Brien’s, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing! Pours a clear amber-gold with a thick foamy white head. Big rich sour aroma, of lemon, yeast, and malt. Taste is a bit lighter, sour, of lemon and yeast. Lingering sourness that fades to a bit watery. Decent.

Stefano (1676) - Esbjerg, DENMARK - MAR 10, 2009
Pours cloudy dark orange with amber highlights. The aroma is sour, tart and acidic. Flavor is also moderate sour and very fresh. Refreshing and light, well brewed.

bluesickboy (13) - Michigan, USA - MAR 7, 2009
12 oz. bottle. Wow didn’t quite know what I was getting into. The aroma is wonderful with a nice floral scent. When you take the first sip BAM, this is a sour beer. Once I knew what was going on it had an interesting flavor very citrusy... I am going to have to come back to this one.

Rusty (1509) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - MAR 6, 2009
Pours a nice hazy yellowish orange with a sparkling white head. Aroma is lemon, funk, asprin, sour, acidic lambic goodness. Flavor is sour, funky, applejuice, astringent, acidic, asprin, garbage, touch of sweetness. Decent Gueuze.

Jmichael (640) - Asheville, North Carolina, USA - FEB 25, 2009
offers a solid pour with full white fizxy head that last just as long as it should, beautiful look as the head offers the perfect event horizon to the beer through the glass, mild aroma that hits you as your bring the glass up for a sip, mild subtleties are the initial note as the aroma is so initial, but as you enjoy this drink more it just gets better with the warmth of the room. good stuff, and fun to drink

This is an incredibly refreshing brew and very food friendly. Geuze’s are hard to come by here so I have’nt tried many to compare but there’s almost no better accompaniment to pizza than this!
