Bottled(250ml). -Amber coloured, almost no head, the nose is similar to stum, low carbonation. Slightly acidic, fruity and very sugary taste with notes of camomile tea. Short rather sweet finish.

Bottle. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Orangebrown colour. Strange "horseblanket" (?) aroma. Very sweet and light acetic flavor. Average finish. Watery palate. Not good.

(Bottle 25 cl) De Troch is best known for it’s range of overly sweet fruit beers, but they also do make beers that come closer to the real thing - without hitting bulls eye though. Dark amber, almost no head. Vinegary nose, and the tartness really dominates all the way through. But it’s a harsh tartness very far from the sophisticated, earthty notes that characterizes the best classical gueuzes. Solid dose of candi sugars cannot save this, and it ends quite unbalanced. 230599

Bottle. Low fluffy and quickly disappearing white head. Hazy orange body. Nutty fruity barn vinegar strav aroma.. Sugary sweet honey fruity flavor without the desired acidity or any hint of vinegar or grapefruit. Way too ssweet. Low carbonation. Short aftertaste. What a disappoiintment.

Garrafa. Coloração âmbar, sem creme. Parece chá. Notas adocicadas e salgadas, predominando as primeiras. Falta gosto e características de cerveja. Carbonatação baixíssima.

Bottle (EBF2007)
After the wonderful tart framboise and lemon, we were hoping the geuze would be the drying pucker to send shivers down our spine for hours. Unfortunately it was just a slightly phenolic aroma, very watery bodied, not sour at all, and flat dishwater. I think the little bretts were all dead.

Amber orange with no head. Very sour vinous vinegar aroma and at the same time very sweet. Mega/Giant sediments in the bottle. Cloying sweet/sour taste. Metallic note. Barely drinkable!

Bottled (from lahoublonniere.be). Deep amber colour, no head. Aroma is sour wood, with some slight sweetish fruityness also. Flavour is birch sap, raisins, resin and some syrup. Mild sourness lurking, but overall a very sweet thing. Blech.

Pours suprisingly dark amber with a short lasted small white head. Balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and dry white grape aroma. Horrible sweet brown sugar flavour, with biscuit notes. Weird, not good.

Bottle. Clear amber coloured with a white ehad. Light acidic aroma of yeast, cheese and fruits. Sweet flavour of yeast, cheese and fruits.
