3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Bloekie (191) - BELGIUM - MAR 18, 2009
(Corked bottle.) Truly golden color with a creamy head. A lot of acidity. Tastes like lemon and bitterness. Good geuze.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 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.

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.

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.
3.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20 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.

4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 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
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 lobotomizer (1) - USA - FEB 25, 2009 does not count
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!
