Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUL 2, 2005
(Bottle 37,5 cl) Rather dark golden, hazy beer with a small, bubbly head. Very aromatic, spicy nose - almost vinous. Definitely tart and citrusy - I don’t really detect any sweetness at all. But then again I don’t really get the vinegary notes either. I could have mistaken this for being a traditional gueuze which I can understand from Joris, that it is not. 230498

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUN 3, 2006
[Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm] Clear golden, creamy head. Barnyardy citric nose. The malt sweetness is edged out by refreshing acidity. Dense mouthfeel, plenty of lemon juice. Pretty intense, but not very complex.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - MAY 10, 2010
Bottled@Man In The Moon, Stockholm. Amber colour, mediumsized slightly off-white head. Aroma is mild sweet fruits and wood mixed with some tartness. Flavour is equal, rather sweet, but also has some dry tartness and dry wooden notes kicking in. Mellows out and gets a bit more earthier with the yeast poured in. Also gets some slight spicy notes along with the yeast.

(375ml bottle, 2000 vintage, BB 02/01/2010) Pours a lightly hazy yellow body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of champagne, cork, horse blanket, and citrus. Flavor of grapefruit and lemon, though mildly acidic for a gueuze, with a dry finish.
