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.

boFNjackson (2705) - Portland, Oregon, USA - SEP 24, 2011
Bottle... Poured semi-cloudy, golden/orange with a thick, beige head. Aroma had some yeast characters, with musky barnyard tones. Dry, not as tart as I would expect. Light fruits, malts, citrus, and then big yeast characters that took over for the finish. Funky, ginger, spices, and mild tartness.

TheCametron (471) - SCOTLAND - SEP 21, 2011
Bottle with Ben. Difficult to be individual with lambic comments as notes for one geuze are similiar to notes on another. This was sour and delicious. Not as jammed with flavour as others but formidable nonetheless.

BenH (528) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - SEP 21, 2011
Pours golden with thin white head. Fairly typical geuze aroma and taste. Nice and sour. Finishes very quickly, slightly over carbonated. Not bad

Franksexual (17) - ITALY - SEP 13, 2011
Appearance: Medium white head, quite persistant, golden hue with copper shades. Aroma: Fresh, of medium intensity, notes of cider vinegar, notes of cellar and mineral notes as well. Taste: Tart, pleasantly so, with mineral, almost salty, notes. Light body, but in positive way, lively carbonation. Very light bitterness, concentrated in the long, elegant, sour finish, along with light notes of cheese mold. Assertive, sharp, elegant but balanced and accessible, thirst quenching. Good.
