reakt (938), Greater London, England Feb 27, 2007 Updated: Nov 5, 2007Golden as most gueuze with a thin white head. Faint aroma of vinegar, pineapple, lemon lime and a hint of barnyard. Salty to the taste with again pineapple and vinegar. Nice and tart but short lived on the tongue. Somewhere in the middle ground of complexity, tasty...(6, 3, 8, 4, 16) ReRate Bottle from Quaffs. Golden topped with a nice lasting white head. Aroma is lemon/lime, yeast, vinegar and hay. Tart and salty with lemon, vinegar and yeast, coats your mouth and leaves you wanting more. Great palate for a geuze, thick and syrupy. I can see why this is rated one of the best footy (334), scottsdale, Arizona, USA Feb 25, 2007 City Beer, San Francisco 7/06. 375ml. Hazy golden/amber with large white head. Musty tart aroma. Pleasant tart musty flavor milder less vinegary than Cantillion. Good body welll balanced. Very good. Wharfrat (18), USA Feb 17, 2007 The cork flew out of the bottle, but there was no beer spewage, as some others have reported.
This beer pours with a nice creamy off white head. The aroma is great for the style. Nice funky tart smell.
The hand pulls the glass form the mouth as the first drops hit the tongue. The acidity and tartness, while expected by the brain, still surprise the tongue. But once the tongue gets used to the tartness, it processes the flavors that were predicted by the first smell. Very complex, funky flavor. And very good.
Mouthfeel is nice and light, with a lot of carbonation.
Overrall, a great Gueuze. drewbeerme (2223), Chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 13, 2007 375ml, dated 08/05. poured a semi-hazy gold with big white head. the nose bursting with sour peaches, brett, and oak. very funky nose. flavor is sour at first then smoothly develops into a really bretty flavor and that continues into really tart peach finish. finishes extremely dry. palate is lively, full, and perfect. the best gueuze i’ve had so far. mcbackus (725), Merritt Island, Florida, USA Feb 8, 2007 pours a peach hay colour small white fizzy head. lots of bubbles. tha aroma is sweet and sour fruit very nice mixture. flavour is sour appple with some citrus and a very sour pungent finish. the palate comes alive with this one. i never thought i would like tart and sour beer, but i am in love with them now. a fantastic gueuze. jmuhops (663), Winchester, Virginia, USA Feb 3, 2007 Pours hazy peach-gold with a one-finger white head. Very dirty aroma, with big barnyardy and musty notes. Fruit comes through as apple, peach, and orange. Some wood, but not so much oak barrel as green yew. Very unique flavor, even for a gueuze. The tartness and dirtiness are there, but accompanied mid-sip by a sweet, juicy, orange taste. The end is grassy and citrusy. Earthy aftertaste that I’d like to see stick around a little more than it does. Excellent. marchcow (664), Coralville, Iowa, USA Jan 27, 2007 Citrus aroma, fresh and bright. Light orange color with white frothy head. Flavor is unusual. Sour, tart with a light sweetness. Almost like the juice of some kind of pickle. Light grapefruity quality. Well carbonated and a rich palate. Natual and strong. Good overall. robinvboyer (1419), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Jan 26, 2007 Updated: Feb 7, 2008yellow/orange color, big offwhite head.
