4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Beautiful straw colour with a nice thick head which sticks around and leaves some good lacing. Smells like someone threw some lemons in an old musty barnyard. It’s quite pungent. Lemon and pepper are dominant in the taste. Quite dry and left me puckering after my first sip. Seems to be quite a solid Gueuze from my limited experience with the style. I enjoyed it at any rate.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle @ Brugge Brasserie , Kobe japan. Profumo acidulo e amarognolo, ma sono riconoscibili un bel profumo floreale e il tipico "sour" delle fermentazioni spontanee. Il colore è ambrato, opalescente con poca schiuma di durata effimera. Il gusto è fresco, acido, sicuramente citrico, con qualche richiamo all’erbaceo e una luppolatura genrosa che non la rende troppo amara, però. A mio avviso è bilanciata benissimo. Il finale è improvviso, estremamente astringente.

Like a barnyard in a bottle...this is the stuff for the lovers of Belgian funk. Nicely sour and tart, but with a crisp dry finish. Very complex with all manner of flavors vying for recognition. Outstanding.

bottle @ Cafe de Tijd. It was my first Gueuze. It wasnt as sour/bitter as I expected. It’s a nice refreshing beer.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle shared with (and courtesy of) Veitafan. Has a cloudy orange colour with a small off-white head. Sour aroma of vinegar, hay and some barnyard, and is well balanced. I find the same in the flavour but feels more sour and in addition apple cider vinegar, gooseberries and some spices. Nice. Has a slick mouth feel, and a light berry bitterness. A great and balanced gueuze.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, 375 ml (2009-10). Slightly unclear goden with a small tight white head, good regeneration. Aroma of barnyard, vinegar, gooseberries, light wood. Taste is light sweetness, barnyard, vinegar, light oak, with hints if elderflowers and gooseberries. Smooth, yet tart mouthfeel, crisp finish. Had this is after a few glasses of champagne. And it still kicked butt.

Pale hazy straw gold, nice white head. Rhubarb, earth, lemon zest, lemon juice and grape nose. Flavour is moderate sourness, with stewed rhubarb and a little cheesy spice. Light bodied, highly carbonated. Finish is short and sweet and sour. A nice moderate lambic.

Pours a nice full head which recedes rapidly. Strawcoloured, slightly hazy if you allow the sediment to be poured as well.
Fairly typical geuze-smell: autumn forest floor, yeasty, earthy, hints of apple and lemon.
Sour, but not as much as you might expect of a geuze. Tart, hints of bitter, and a bit reminiscent of cider.
Very drinkable, and a good introduction for someone who wants to try geuze for the first time.

Lemons and cheese. But more lemons. Who’d a thunk that I’d crave cheese and lemon in a beer. And this is just the starter level. Barnyards, sweat and horses are in my cupboard. Hell yeah, I’m in a hardcore band. How do you like those noiseniks?
