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!

Bottle. Pours murky deep amber with a small white head. I get tart green apples on the nose with hints of lemon and malts. Tastes like an attenuated geuze with too much sugar added, however not as much as others I have tried which notches this up a point or two. Palate is rather thin and flat.

thanks for a great tasting Kim (Beljohansen): great gueuze, clear and bubbly, notes of leather, grape, and nice and sourt...very refreshing

37.5 cl corked bottle, ’bbe’ Apr 2012. Brassy colour with just a slight turbidity and a thin lace for a head. In the nose, the brett sensation is mellowed by fruit jam notes (a hint of strawberry). Dryness and pungent lemony acidity are counterbalanced by a soft, honeyish touch on the palate and some wood. Tastes less sophisticated than some other examples of the style.

Bottle at Århus Ølfestival 2008. Pours clear yellow with a white head. Aroma of citrus, apple and som tartness. The flavour is also citrus and apple with som tartness, but not as exiting as the aroma.

Clear golden body, huge foamy fast disappearing head. Strong yeasty aroma, together with citrus (lemon). Very acidic and sour flavour.

Vinegar. Nice, simple. Not very unique. Too long ago for a proper review, but values apply. Purchased at Hugos/Køge.
