3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
[Bottle, thanks Guerde!] Pours orange with a white head that dies away to nothing. Aroma is typical gueuze sour and funkiness Taste is sour--although not overly so, then some bitterness in the back of the throat with a few somewhat sweet notes mixed in. Medium mouthfeel with a long, dry finish. Nothing stood out here, but a solid beer nonetheless.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(bottle) Pours out hazy orange with a large white head that sticks around and leaves adequate lacing. Nice musty, funky, barnyard aroma, with some lemon and a subtle fruit sweetness that emerges at the end of the sniff. The taste is just briefly sweet, with a fruit taste that I believe is apricot. This taste quickly vanishes and is replaced by tart apple, lemon, and sourness coupled with spritzy carbonation that lingers on the tongue. The finish is very dry and yeasty. I was craving a geuze before drinking this, and it certainly did not disappoint.

9.04.2026. SB47. 355mL Bottle. A peachy glow emanates from the glass. Vibrant acidity shines with some grasses and spring morning. Fresh as a farmer’s market and juicy like a ripe apricot. A lightly-hazed tangerine flesh glows with golden splendor and a silky, draping white head. Flavor is tart and piquant! Seltzer body brings up smooth, cotton-like acidity and dryness. A perceptible plant lead comes mid-palate. Soft. Some shellfish juices and light Roquefort strain touch the upper palate. A bit of high alcohols dance over cognac and plum notes. Puckering in the best way possible. Superb dryness, nice complexity, some restraint, and decent balance. Very classic. The one thing that turns me off about this beer a little is the oaky bitterness that rides the for palate too much. For that, I’m holding back on this beer a little, but everything else is nice.

Bottle shared with Ronald and Carita in Finland. Bottled 2003. Eye-watering aromas of freshly squeezed lemon and zest shavings. Wonderful example of lambic yeast characters. Tastes tart and citric, with a crunch of fresh rhubarb. Sour bitter ’gin and tonic’ finish. Really turns me on to this style!

Bottle at Camping, Beersel 24/4/08. Pale, slightly hazy, gold with a decent white head. Lemon, pear and barnyard aromas. Flavour of lemon, pears and spice with a long, astringent tart finish. Very good and at 2.25 Euros a bargain.

3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Half-hazy orange, medium white head. Arom aof pineapple, apple, cinnamon. Taste very balanced, a bit subtle. The finish is long but gest a bit too disturbed for me by it’s grapefruit flavour. I don’t like grapefruit.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Skunky fruit cocktail aroma with pears, cherries, peaches, and vinegar. Mild DMS. Cloudy golden pour with a thick white head and steady streams of carbonation. Battery acid sour vinegar and lemon. This is my first gueuze rating. I’m beginning to like sour beers, but this had nothing else to offer and seemed a little off.
