Girardin Gueuze Black Label

[Bottle] shared by milkmandan. Pours gold with an effervescent white head. Aroma is chlorine, subtle, lots of funk, and some barrel character. Flavor has a moderate sourness, and is funky, minerally, and dry.

Bottle. Poured a hazy amber color with a large creamy white head that lasted. Good citrus and yeast aroma. Medium body. Moderate sour fruit flavor with a long citrus finish. Very good refreshing citrus brew. Holly crap this stuff is good.

Bottle shared. Beer poured a cloudy orange with lots of carbonation. Aroma is very funky - a little hard for me to describe with my slim lambic/sour knowledge. Taste is also funky. Some oak and plenty of tart fruit. Body was light and nicely carbonated. Finish was tart. A very good lambic.

Bottle from Sam’s Clybourn. Unsure of the vintage, cork says x01m9 or something. Pours a wonderfully clear IPA gold with a fluffy/fizzy white head. Nose is sweet grain, clean acidity, very soft, minimal barnyard if at all, lemons, lactic. Taste is powerful. There is a very dry aspect to this with very green apples and very underripe cherries, tannic type bitterness. I also get a pleasant sweetness in the far reaches, as well as a level of grain. It’s funny, I thought I knew what a gueuze should taste like having had a few, but this one to me is gueuze. I need to try the 3F vintage stuff now, I can only imagine it to be perfect... As this one warms, it just keeps getting better. slight skunk from the hops (in a good way), peaches and apricots. I think I get it now, after reading Wild Brews. It’s not an acid bomb, it’s just a perfect beverage...

bottle from Kingom Liquor in Brandon, FL. my experience with lambics is from european travels and I’m not well versed on the style at this point. that said -- hazy yellow pour with two fingers of bright white head and lots of lacing. aroma is a mix of soured apple and citrus. first thought on taste is it’s far more drinkable than most I’ve had. tart, bitter, sour -- but leaves you wanting more. long dry vinegar and apple finish. definitely a style I’m looking forward to exploring more and definitely an exceptional beer.
