NOTE: Sometimes labelled as "Classic Gueuze" w/o reference to Organic.
Pours somewhat hazy golden yellow-orange. Smallish fizzy white head that recedes in no time.
Aroma of wheat, lemon, and that funky sweat quality so difficult to pin down.
This is indeed "classic" in regard to its lambic character. Light bodied, and tart up front. Just tart enough to put the fear of God into you before playfully backing off. Bone dry with some acidity, probably from the carbonation.
This one finishes long and slow with a tangy wheat flavor and mineraly dryness. A nice low-end Cantillon.

Dec 2, 2008 Pours clear golden color with small white head. Funky barnyard aroma. Nice and tart with mild sweetness, soft carbonation and a dry finish. I really liked this beer.

Nov 30, 2008 Pours a hazy gold with a small white head. Sour and funky aroma, pretty much what I expected, no sweet fruit to offset it. Sour flavor and aftertaste. Acidic. I thought it was rather plain though.

Nov 29, 2008 See other gueze entry, this is more more more than that. Smelled of sour berries and a slight grapefruit zest. Taste was quite sour and then very bitter, maybe too much for some. Sour berries and grapefruit were the dominant tastes. Watery on the palate and long to finish. For the hardcore Gueze drinker.

Nov 29, 2008 Small white head. Hazy yellow body. Metallic wooden thin aroma with wool notes. Thin sour metallic grainy taste. Astringent, almost burning. Thin body. Sour lemony wooden aftertaste. Very nice and clean. (0.1l taster, Norbrygg beer judging course.)

Nov 28, 2008 375ml bottle, 2004 vintage. Cloudy golden apricot pour with a quarter inch white head that disapates quickly. Great nose, strong barnyard aroma along with dry hay. Flavors are strong funky barnyard with a tart and dry finish.
