4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
I adore sour ales and gueuze beers. I am not a specialist but I like them. This one seemed a bit too easy, but on the very pleasant side. I really enjoyed it, as far as the taste, but aroma-wise and aftertaste-wise it was a bit easy. If i can find it in a better price, for sure I will try it.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: APR 4, 2013 375 ml. bottle corked and caged – split with Kraddel – opened this one like usually, twisting the cork a bit, letting it release its pressure… - the cork still hit the ceiling – wow – that is a first timer for me – not a gusher – hazy golden, creamy white head – smell is gives of the impression of characteristic Boon funk to me but I might be imagining things, knowing who made this , who knows? Musty, very heavy on the wheat, light herbs, touch old lemon – taste is like – how would I describe it – very heavy wheat; feels like they added worth or meertse to this or something, almost chewing, but base stuff, Boon funk, bitter herbs, old lemons, some sweet apples, mellow citus, barn – as mentioned previously the body is hazy as hell – drinkable, enjoyable but that added worth or meertse impression – I enjoy it because I really dig the style but I usually rate real geuze higher than this. The name does not come from that De Koninck brewery as I initially mistakenly thought but rather a completely different brewery.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, 375ml, corked. From trade with jbrus. It pours an unclear, orange-golden body topped by an off-white head. Bready notes in the aroma, with citrus peel, barnyard and something almost sweetish in the back. The flavor is quite bready, although with the expected gueze-sourness and funk. Barnyard and lemon juice. Tart, medium bodied and pleasantly carbonated. A rather light weight geuze, but it drinks easy and doesn’t taste bad at all. 120302
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
2000 bottle. Golden color. Honey in the somewhat cheesy aroma. Low on carbon. Sweetish, slightly sour, vinous flavor with plums and cheesy notes. Well matured, bad sadly based on a sweetened geuze.
