Pours a pale opaque yellow with great head and lacing. Nose is alcohol, sour cherry, and funky. Taste is bitter/sour and puckers the inside of my mouth. Finish is fantastic. Really appreciative of this one. andersand (271), Malmö, Sweden Jul 12, 2009 Flavour and aroma wise one of my favourite Gueuzes. Very funky with a balanced acidity, lemon, cheese, animals, hay and acidic apples. Mouthfeel is a bit watery but its forgiven as it actually adds to its drinkability. Lovely luxurious dry finish. pivnizub (4949), Bochum, Porúří, Germany Jul 12, 2009 Bottle (recolte 2005): Orangey coloured, visible carbonation, cloudy, small - slowly collapsing - loose white head; solid nose: citric acid, horse blanket and a distinctive touch of wood; solid dry sourish flavour, a bit fizzy, medium bodied; lingering finish: citric acid, green apples, wood and lactic acid. Excellent, complex Gueuze, moreish.......... shawnm213 (882), South Bend, Indiana, USA Jul 10, 2009 holy shit. this was legit. extremely well balanced. sour apple, white grape, this beer was fucking tight. goddamn i could drink this every minute of every day. tarheels86 (703), Washington DC, USA Jul 10, 2009 Updated: Aug 20, 2009Bottle wired and corked into tumbler. Pours a hazy copper with a very lively, soda-like white head that dissipate but leaves a good thin layer to protect this lambic. Tons of yeast floaties in there too. Aroma is apple cider vinegar, white grape, leather, some baby powder, and other funky notes. Taste up front is sparkling apple juice then moves to ultra sourness- insanely sour. Finish shows off with fruity notes of raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. Very drinkable and fun to try. I’m not a lambic expert but this seems well executed and I like it. KyotoLefty (1371), Kyoto, Japan Jul 4, 2009 Bright golden color, with a bit of amber, and a bit of lace. Aroma of green apples, apple cider, barnyard, citrus, and some biscuity maltiness. Very tangy, but with controlled sourness. Flavors of green apples, lemon, and some dusty funk. Really great balance, and highly drinkable.
smith4498 (822), Miami, Florida, USA Jul 3, 2009 Rating #700. Pours hazy copper color with white head. Funky barnyard, leather aromas. Tart lemon rind flavor with lots of sourness. Light to medium body with lively carbonation and a dry finish. Excellent. DMRz (218), Durham, North Carolina, USA Jul 1, 2009 Pours a delightful medium amber with a two finger off white head. Nice funky aroma with some green grape and citrus. Flavor is complex and refreshing, with grapefruit, green apple, funk, and some sourdough. Very crisp and refreshing without being too sour. This is a very fine effort.
