Girardin Gueuze Black Label

Bottle. Golden yellow pour with significant white head. Sour in the nose that lasts. Lots of funk nice gueuze, easy drink with nice carbonation.

Fairly complex and sour. Aroma is sour, tart, fruity, woody and a little winey. Flavor is citrus dominated with wood and tart cherry. Very puckering and prickly.

Pours a cloudy orange color with a nice amount of white head. Has a sour, woody, brett smell. Has a taste similar to the smell. Starts off tart and finishes sour.

Amber with a low head. Woody and sour aroma, some grape fruit too. The flavour is perfectly balanced for a geuze, not too sour, but complex insted: lemon, a little vinegear, stale, champagne. Highly drinkable and refreshing.

375ml caged and corked bottle served in a tumbler. Cloudy golden orange pour with a thin, lasting off-white cap. Slick lace. The aroma included wood, light lemon, berries, and soured wheat. Acidic and sour. The flavor had acidic lemon, grapefruit, moderately sour citrus, dry oak, and also a soft, fruity sweetness. Very oaky with a nice funkiness. Crisp and light-bodied. Highly drinkable and quenching/refreshing. I think this bottle was fairly young, so I’ll have to re-rate an aged bottle that has had some time to develope.

Flaske: Superflot lys orange øl med et rigtig flot skumhoved. Duft af stald. God syrlighed i smagen, og ret tør selvom den stadig er forholdsvis ung. Meget drikbar og kompleks.

Bottle pours hazy light amber color with white head. Aroma is tart, acidic, funk, lemon, musty, and vinegar. Tingly mouthfeel as there is a lot of carbonation true to the style. Flavor follows the nose exactly and is very tart. Very delicious.
