37.5 CL bottle from de hopduvel in Gent. Aroma of soft citrus and yeast. Very sour taste. This is not the best Geuze if you ask me. *

ekoerper (548) - Iowa, USA - MAR 12, 2013
Aroma: lemon, some oak and spice, hay, earthy funk. Appearance: slightly hazy light golden color, fizzy white head dissipates quickly and leaves little lacing. Flavor: tart lemons, dry and slightly oaky, citrus, hay, nice spicy Brett character without a lot of funk. Palate: light body, low-medium carbonation, prickly and dry. Overall: nice brew.

fiammanghilla (95) - Genova, ITALY - MAR 9, 2013
Bottiglia 37,5cl Lambic di difficile bevuta. Molto acida e salata. Le prime volte difficilmente piace. Col tempo si apprezza la notevole complessità

bmerz (465) - Brooklyn, New York, USA - MAR 9, 2013
Draught at Torst BK. Light yellow and cloudy. No head. Aroma of Brett, light sour funk, horse blanket, very well rounded, lovely, slight sharp. Flavor is herbal bitter, dull sour, lightly astringent. Light clean body with a silt finish. Not as awesome as expected but still great.

tricyclist (444) - Spring Hill, Florida, USA - MAR 9, 2013
Sample pour at Hunahpu’s. Hazed straw with white fluffed head. Nose is citric with plenty of light fruit and lemon peel. Flavor is quite tart with moderate sour. Some straw notes with fresh grass. Nice and drinkable.

Crit (3070) - New Westminster, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 7, 2013
Hazy gold,white head.Pungent sour nose. Tart vinous puckery palate, very dry finish. Overpriced, and over rated. Actually a drain pour for me even tho I do like this style.

kimjongill (180) - - MAR 5, 2013
From tap. Yellow cloudy pour with minimal white head. Wine-like aroma of grapes and wild yeast. Initial bite is way too sour, but taste mellows as you drink it. Overpriced and overhyped IMO.

cagou007 (149) - FRANCE - FEB 25, 2013
A pale and cloudy yellow colour, with a medium frothy head. I tried gueuze twice before, this was my third tasting and I’m defenitely not into that style of beer ! Aromas are citrus, hops, yeast and spices. On the tongue, it’s salty and sour. Too weird for me.
