Aug 19, 2008 Bottle at Hamilton’s for "Boobies and Beer". Thanks to the guy, whose name I didn’t get, for pouring me a taster of this for no good reason at all. I owe you big time. I sat there for a couple of minutes just smelling. I couldn’t bring myself to drink it immediately because it simply smelled wonderful. I would sniff and smile. My mouth was watering with the anticipation, but I just couldn’t help myself. When I finally did get around to drinking it, I was not disappointed at all. It was definitely tart/sour, but not shockingly so. The fruit flavor burst and tingled like fireworks, and left with puckering dry mouth. I think I might be in trouble with this one, at $XX.XX bucks a bottle.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange with tall off-white head. The aroma is spicy and very earthy with a good lactic sourish hint and some dank cellar and white cheese. The flavor is quite sour, with a quite assertive spicy yeast quality. Earth and leather tones are throughout, but a little bit of a floral hint sneaks out once in a while. It finishes very dry, with an unexpected orange-blossom note. Delicious.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle courtesy of dchmela. Wowsers, this is good. Deep golden hazy pour with orange tint. Yeasty sour nose, some great leather and horseblanket as well as some strawberries and notes of acetic acid. Lovely dusty aroma. Not overly sour on the palate, but definitely tingles and has a great little bite on the back and sides of the tongue. Playful and fun, and oh-so-delicious.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle opens with a wonderful pop and strong whiff of sour tart cheesy gueze! Dark golden/orange pour with sparse large bubbles and a white sudsy head. Strong dusty, yeast aroma that stings the nostrils. So super tart and sour. Great cheesy finish. Mild acidity, doesn’t bother the throat at all. Medium/light body with light but larger fizzy carbonation.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle at Barley and Hops Tavern. Nearly flawless Gueuze, holds it’s head nicely in a flute, with dominant sour nose which gets better as the temperature rises. Very complex ranging from grassy to lemonade each sip. Palate fatigue starts to kick in half-way through the bottle due to the tartness, which is good, because you can taste the subtleties when your brain shuts down the sour sensation somewhat.

Aug 11, 2008 37.5-cl bottle at Delirium, Brussels. Deliciously mineral, sour and yet balanced with a depth that was lacking in the white label Girardin (tasted side by side).

Aug 7, 2008 Strong apple aroma with a nice head. The flavor is an extremely tart apple. The flavor lingers, and even intensifies, after each sip is finished.

Aug 3, 2008 Cloudy yellow with white head. The beer was very interesting to taste. It has tastes of sour lemon with a touch of mustiness (old cardboard). Not overly sour but not really my kind of beer.
