375ml bottle with a 2005 bottling date on cork. Dark golden with a tight white head. Great aroma is toasted wood, dandelions, with cheesy barnyard. Very tart tongue numbing mouthfeel. Medium body. Good flavors of lemon, dry wood, with a wheat bread maltiness. A nice gueze if not very complex.

Circa 2005. Pours a super-hazy yellow with an initially monstrous head that simmers down after a decade and a half. Tart, citrus nose, especially of lemon. Taste is a base-funkiness that really hits your tongue on the sides in the back. Great lemony-tart character with many subtle flavors. What I thought would be an overwhelming carbonation taste did not come into play. A very nice Gueuze; one of the best I have had.

My bottle (375ml) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of GregClow. Pours a hazy orange with a small diminishing white head. Aroma of funky yeast, cheese, some citrus and a hint of hops. Flavour follows the aroma: funky yeast, cheese, citrus and hops but adds sour fruit and has a finish that’s quite dry. Acidic, astringent palate. Quite nice, and refreshing in it’s own way.

375 ml bottle. Hazy yellow color with a white, quickly disappearing head. Aroma is vinous, sour, smokey with som stable. Flavour is sour with citrus, unmatured apples and some unmatured gooseberries. This was my first gueuze ever, but I thought this would be even sourer than it was. It feels balanced, nice and quite easy to drink!
