DarkMagus (433), San Jose, California, USA Jun 22, 2007 375ml bottle. Poured a slightly hazy golden color with a bubbly white head that settled down quickly. Strong sour citrus aroma with muscat grapes, green apples, a lot of woodiness, and a definite musty character. Flavors were very intensely sharp and sour, with a slight bitterness. Highly carbonated, soft fizzy mouthfeel with an ultra-dry finish. This stuff is really great, I could drink it all day... rederic (1787), montréal, Quebec, Canada Jun 21, 2007 750ml bottle, hazy honey gold hue, with a white head, nice corbanation, with some horseblanket, barnyard notes in the nose, revealing a fruity accent of sour rhubard, and green apples, with a wet oakiness, a good tart and acidic, funky mustiness aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a wonderful lambic fruity tartness and sourness character, with a zesty acidic accent, note of wet hay, and oakiness, leading towards a tart, acidic dry finish. Maybe not quite enough sharp for me, but nevertheless, a very unique beer, for a very unique style. OSLO (825), Perth, Australia Jun 20, 2007 Updated: Jan 18, 2008[Bottle at The Rover in Gothenburg (Thanks Marsiblursi!)] Amber color, white head, citric aroma, and potent sour/citric taste. Awesome beer, my only regret is that I had to drink it a little faster than I would have liked as it was closing time. Going to have to pick up a bottle of this if I can find it. UselessGdTaste (363), Long Beach, California, USA Jun 20, 2007 Updated: Jul 31, 2007Amazing balance. It retains the lambic sourness but in such a good way that it is now one of the benchmarks I have to go off of. I wish I could find this a lot more often. When I find it again though, I have dibs on a case. Spectacular sour balance, even with the sourness being completely over the top. Possibly my favourite beer ever. RCL (1443), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA Jun 17, 2007 Very nice representative of the style. Has a gently sophisticated funkiness to it. Sourness is not overpowering either. Just a hint of spice at the end. bgburdman9 (822), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jun 15, 2007 I have to note this is the first gueze that I drank the entire bottle myself. The cork shot out the bottle very easily.Poured a slightly cloudy orange copper color with a large bubbled white head Served lightly chilled. Aroma was citrus, sour, funkiness. A little saison like. Flavor was tart and sour but not overbearing. Pretty easy to drink for a lambic and pretty dry overall. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 12, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours orange/amber with a large off-white head. Aroma of citrus, fruit, tart, and acidic. The flavor is citrus, tart, acidic, fruit, moderate carbonation. Good brew. FatPhil (3446), Espoo, Finland Jun 10, 2007 330ml Bottle (One Pint, Helsinki)
Very lively, enormous light fluffy head. Sharp bitter aroma, very guezy. Hugely bitter and sharp taste, loads of grapefruit. Cleans the mouth and leaves a dry bitter finish that lasts for ever, leaves some malt too in the late finish.
