Bottle. Murky orange with thin white head. Smells tart and sour and flavour is similar with dusty farmers mac notes. Pleasant and easy to drink and tingly tasty.

Bottle at Plan B. It pours a hazy golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is dusty with notes of sweet citrus, grass a little apple. Flavour is dry lime with a faint tartness, a little dusty and with a sweet hint. I’m surprised that Chapeau manage to make a decent brew.

Bottle at the legend of chriso’s pre GBBF09 tasting. Alround rating: Grainy pale and wheaty malt, its sour in a red wine thats been sitting for a few days kind of way. Not sure what i think of this but i had 2 glasses at different times to try and figure it out and im still unsure.

Bottle @ ’t Brugs Beertje, Brugge. Pours a hazy orange color with a small white head. Has a fruity slightly tart hay aroma with some hints of citrus. Fruity slightly tasrt flavor with some hints of citrus. Has a fruity tart sour finish.

Chriso Shindig Aug 2009. Very dry with interesting funky notes. Quite puckering. Not fun.

At Chriso’s pre GBBF Shindig ’09. Gold with a small white head. Aroma of sour dirty paper. Basically a sour, vinegary taste, rough and ugly. You can see why they added assorted fruits.

bottle, very unclear orange/dark yellow colour, very small head disapearing fastly. Sour smell. Taste: sour, grapefruit,citrus and unripe fruit, sweet. Grainy in the aftertaste. A decent Gueuze!

(375ml bottle) Pours a cloudy golden orange body with a tall fizzy white head. Aroma of leather, mustiness, lemon, and grapefruit peel. Flavor of tart grapefruit and lots of funkiness. Has aggressive carbonation, in fact the cork popped off on its own.
