Bottle at the Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation. Very hi carbonation, huge head. Variegated golden color. Aroma of horse blanket and sweat. Taste is very dry, with smoke, black pepper, dust. Nice stuff.

2009 bottle at the 21st Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation. Pours a dark golden colour with a lacy white head. Aroma of wet cardboard, horse blanket, lemon and oak. Similar flavours and nicely tart with a very dry finish. Mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel.

75cl bottle at home thanks to Paul and Heidi at the brewery. This was labeled as black label. Very nice blend which was hugely balanced. Not really different from other top vintages from Girardin but a classic non the less!

I’ve tasted this beer in Belgium last year, the one I had was aged of 2 or 3 years. Really interesting taste. Fruity aroma, not too sour, Was kind of soft ,fruity and a bit bitter in the end !

Pours a cloudy golden color with a huge white head. Amazing funk aroma that just immediately says Girardin. Lots of earth, must, grass, and sweat. Lemon peel and apple give a nice tartness as well. Some yeast and light bread flavor to go with all the funk and tartness. Lemon peel and green apple sourness as well as heavy grass, earth, and must with just a touch of tannic oak. Nice high carbonation and dry mouthfeel. Awesome stuff.

Orange gold colour, slight white head. Aroma quite tart, fruity, citrus, light silage, quite floral. Makes my tastebuds go wild already as if I was pavlov’s dog. Flavour is quite tart, geuze, lemon, light lactic acid, light silage and hay. Nice and dry, tart finish. Great geuze.

75cl bottle @ RBBWG 2012, Antwerpen courtesy of Diabel. 2009 vintage, botte #879/1400. Dorée et rouble allant vers un orangé, col blanc. Houblons sec, poussiéreux et fleuri avec en bouche ce profile unique de gueuze, grains, funk et malt pour une présence acidulée en bouche qui est tenace et ce profile de vieux fruits sec allant sur une présence tropicale. Reprend le classique de la gueuze pour une belle expérience.

750ml bottle pours a hazy burnt orange with zero head. Nose is OK, grassy, herbal, some vinegar. Flavor is flat, windex, dandelion greens, oranges, grass. Watery, thin finish, no carbonation. Needs more time in the bottle.

Thanks Travlr! Clear amber pour with zero carbonation in the body, or head atop it. Lemony citrus funk, bubblegum, and huge puckering acidity gives way to hints of much and cheesecloth. Super dry acidic body with a juicy finish.
