2002 vintage. Gorgeous golden colour topped by a huge frothy head. Great aroma, earthy and tart with a strong funky and musty character. Very lovely soft tartness. Fresh and fruity. Lightly perfumey aroma. A very approachable gueuze. Soft acidity on the back.

12.7 oz bottle purchased at South Bay Drugs and Liquor. This lambic created a violent glowing yellow in my flute and looked similar to a chemistry experiment in a beaker. The nose was a sour fruit smell with a notice of alcohol. In the flavor, more or less the same thing, but I would be able to get more detailed. The sourness detected is similar to a unripe lemon or a juicy green lime and leaves behind the smallest aftertaste of bitter salt. From the description I’ve given this almost sounds like a tequila or margarita. Also, I won’t forget to mention the very minor fruit flavor of green apple, pear and grape, although, very complicated once I swallow the mouthful and then I’m left with a state of confusion.

Cloudy orange/golden colour, with a huge dense white head. Aroma has barnyard, citrus and apple. Flavour is mostly sour apple and lemon. Sparkling and refreshing. Finishes dry.

Bottle, de Kring, Lembeek. Pale gold, good-sized white head, well carbonated. Tight, punchy tart up front, but the finish is dry, funky. Aroma is class geuze: apples, tart, citrus. Good, but lacking some complexity when compared to the blenders. Very drinkable, could quaff the heck out of this one on a hot summer day.

0.375 l bottle, 2003-2004 vintage. Golden-copper color with surprisingly thick and persistent head. Sour, refreshing, sulphury, bready, lemony, grapefruity and perfumed aroma. Acidic, grapefruity and lemony flavor with hints of cork.
