Dec 11, 2007 Pours the color of an authentic orange marmalade. Aroma is classic funky lambicness, yes I made that word up. Hay, earth, grapefruit candy, just what I like in this style. Flavor is initially tart, yielding to a sublime finish. Some oak tempers the sour, bringing this beer into a sharp focus.

Dec 6, 2007 Updated: Oct 8, 2009Bottle: Cloudy deep orange with a fading white head. Huge horseblanket aroma. Earthy, with damp hay, old wood, just a classic wild fermentation funk. Not much carbonation in the body. Flavor has a lemon-rind tartness upfront followed by some vinegar-like characteristics and some old dried woodiness. Later one it gives off a bone dryness, and a very late lactic funk at the back of the tongue. A solid, funky Lambic.

Dec 4, 2007 This had a cloudy amber orangish body with TONS of head. The aroma was very tart and had the classic gueuze smell. The flavor was even more sour than the aroma and made the glands in my neck tingle. Probably one of the best gueuzes in terms of the sourness. It reminded me slightly of La Terroir in sourness level. Light bodied with very good drinkability.

Nov 24, 2007 Big thanks to drmatt for sharing this fine gueuze. Pours hazy orange with a small tight white head. The aroma has brett, funk, citric acid, floralness and lots of earthy qualities. Medium grainy body that’s biting with a small amount of carbonation. The flavor starts salty with sharp citrus, graininess, some dull mineral aspects, brett and minor vinegar. This is very complex and intriguing. I need to sample this again and add more notes because there is a lot going on here. Fantastic beer.

Nov 21, 2007 375mL bottle. Pours hazy golden with a thin white head that fades quickly. Tart, lactic aroma with notes of wood and grapefruit. Flavor is tart but not abrasive; there’s some sweetness in the background, along with some wood and fruit. Long, dry, tart finish. Beautiful gueuze!

Nov 12, 2007 375 ml bottle: Pours a hazy straw color beneath a dense foamy white head. Aroma of grape skins, apple cider vinegar and some musty cellar notes. Tart and fruity flavors of granny smith apples and white grapes. Nice and lively on the palate without being overly carbonated. Finishes dry with some light notes of champagne and oak. Crisp, refreshing and delicious.

Nov 11, 2007 Bottle (no gushing): Estery nose was welcoming. Champagne-like texture with a lively carbonation. Some stickiness in the finish, but drying, too. Very bright and bold aromas from start to finish. Tart and tangy-fruity flavors (cider, grapes, pear and sugar-free Red Bull curiously enough). Zingy sourness toward the finish. Leathery and earthy in the aftertaste. Tasty.

Nov 5, 2007 Bottle. Gushed upon opening...oh well. Poured golden with plenty of white head, as one may imagine. Aroma was funky and sour, maybe a little citrus and pepper in there as well. Taste was moderately sour (across the sour beer spectrum anyway), with some of those citrus hints coming in again. The beer skipped and danced along my tongue; I like it lively. Finished dry with a small pucker. Very nice stuff.
