3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
2005 bottle at DHVL. It pours hazy straw yellow with a thin white head. The nose is tart lemon, farmyard, musty and wood. The taste is lots of sharp lemon, grapefruit, white grape, lemon sherbet, with a dry, tart finish. Good lemony acidity. Medium body and lively carbonation. Surprisingly good stuff from De Troch.

Bottle, DHVL, 1993 vintage. Clear and bright on first pour with a small fizzy white head. The nose is quite funky with some horseblanket and musty cellar. A touch acetic but not crazy, it gained some slightly cheesy qualities as it breathed. The flavor has a nice slight acetic bite, but not heartburn-level acidity. Nicely woody, super funky with some mineral notes. A somewhat ’hard’ Gueuze. Mouthfeel is bone dry and just sucks the saliva from the cheeks. Very nice, still in quite good shape for it’s age.
1.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Clear amber pour with a medium white head that dissipates expediently. The nose is of funky cork and old rotten barrel, rotting leaves, bubblegum, chemical rubber stop top, and lemony acidity. The flavor is the same. Off, chemical, and wretched. Drainpour. Medium body with low carbonation. Heinous.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a deep cloudy golden color. Aroma is sourish, musty, yeasty. It has lively carbonation. Flavor is a sour vinegar like taste with some light creaminess and a hint of sweet. Can really taste the funk in this one.

37,5 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 25.09.2010
Tasted in blind tasting with 13 other gueuzes, this one placed 7.
Dark orange colour and a small, big-bubbled head that sticks to the glass. Aroma is rather light with some soil and earthy notes. Flavour is rather stale and weird with soil, manure, earthy notes and smoke. Feels like overaged. Palate is too low on CO2. The sourness is nice here but the soil ruins the show.
