UPDATED: MAR 8, 2012 Bottle at Nate’s Leaving Do, The Kernel. Pours cloudy golden orange amber, white head. Nose is appley, sour yeasty, farmyard, grain husk. Taste is very appley, cider, very light and citrous, vinegary, grassy. Really like this.

Thanks Nick for sharing. Pours a clear, golden yellow with loads of carbonation. Aroma is stale grain, slight fruitiness and grain. Taste is slightly tarte with sourness and good backing taste that carries it through.

Not sure how much more perfect a beer could be. Up front sour backed with some straw. Big carbonation and foamy in the mouth. Thanks Nick!

Cloudy amber pour thin white head was well carbonated on opening .... .aroma of barnyard, lemon, caramel malts .... taste is of lemons, caramel malts, light candi syrup, barnyard ... finishes dry bitter and of lemon rinds

Very nice geuze looks great the colour is good and a fine sourness. Yes something you must drink often.

Bottle, courtesy of yngwie. Pours golden with an off-white head. Aroma of funk, lemon, leather and malt. Flavor is sour and woody with some lemon, acid, leather and oak. Medium body, lively carbonation. Really nice .

37,5 cl. bottle, cork flew off with a huge bang, cork says 2011. Some of the content went down in my pot to make moules frites. Poured in a flute. Hazy, light orange/amber colour, with a medium sized white, frothy head. Aroma with flowers, lemon, corn, earth, barnyard, yeasts and some very faint hops. Taste is lightly sweet at first, but quickly turns heavily sour. Notes of apple cider, vinegar, pine, grass and citrus. Medium body, medium carbonation, medium length finish. Excellent beer

Gueuze molt ben feta. Ideal per començar una bona cata o per netejar la boca després d’una BD XI. Imprescindible.

375ml bottle poured into a tulip. Appearance is a hazy medium orange with a fluffy one finger head. Lots of carbonation and great head retention. Aroma of orange and lemon with really only a slight hint of funk. Some wet hay and barnyard but it is not overpowering. There is a bit of yeastiness as well. The funk comes through a little more on the taste but once again it is restrained compared to other examples of this style. Lemony lime citrus is much more prominent and there is some pear as well. I think I can even taste a little bit of caramel. Quite a bit of tartness is present leading to an incredibly crisp, dry finish. This is my new favorite gueuze. It is perfectly balanced with the citrus, funk, and sourness all in balance. While I tend to like extremely funky brews it is nice to experience a good balance. A top notch brew.

Pours hazy yellow with a medium head. Aroma is dry apples and vinegar. Flavor is sour malts, apples and vinegar with a very fruity finish. Good stuff.
