375mL corked bottle. High carbonation since cork shot a few feet when released from bottle. Poured pale golden color with loads of head and some lacing. Aromas of yeast and wood. Taste slightly sour with a slight touch of hops. Tons of carbonation and mild body with great mouthfeel.

2006/7 bottle. Cage only half off, the cork shot 20 feet away. Gold with an inch of white head. Some floaties, very high bead. Aroma of apples, lemon, the barn. Creamy mouthfeel. Quite tart with citrus and mellow funk. Some almonds. Some floral notes in the dry finish.

Cloudy pale golden colour, white head. Acidic sour aroma of lemon, yeast and apples. Fully carbonated light palate. Acidic flavour with lemon, some green apples, salt, with a dry finish. Quite nice and interesting.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
375 mL bottle. Pours a bright, pale orange color with a large, frothy, white head. The aroma is strong lemon zest, seltzer water, and lots bready yeast. The flavor is very sweet and tart up front, with a significant funky bitterness coming through in the finish. The palate is medium, very bubbly and sticky. Overall, a sour tasting beer with a champagne feel. Nice.

Very interesting lambic with apple flavour. Somewhat cidery taste, but hard to tell what this actually tastes like. Definitely worth a try.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
375ml bottle. Pours slightly hazy golden with gentle bubbles and some head (more than expected). The nose has green apples and yeast. The taste has sour green apples then a lemon note on the end. The palate is rich but tight in structure, the texture in the middle section is again, rich but tight and there is a very long dry finish. There is also something oaky and oxidised in there somewhere. Overall, I actually find this reasonably accessible for a Geuze - not quite as drying and sour as others.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle from Midtown. Cork shot out like a rocket. Pours hazy golden with a white head. Funky ester aroma. Medium bodied with a fine spritzy carbonation. Flavor of lemon, oak, and pale wheat malts. Dry and sour, but not intense. Nice
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a cloudy golden with a thick foamy off white head. Aroma of lemon, sour apple, bread, barnyard funkiness. Similar taste, super tart/dry/funky finish. Lots of carbonation. Damn fine geuze.
