| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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.

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. Madsnp (616), Odense C, Denmark

cloudy light gold, yellowish thick foam
very funky aroma, citrus, especially lemon peel
fairly high on the sour scale, but very little vinegar, mostly lemon and horsey funk
super dry and astringent, a bit thin, even for gueuze JCB (1746), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 29, 2009 Bottle shared by the powerful durhambeer - thanks, Bob! Very nice hazy orange pour with a much more lusty head than I expected from a gueuze. Splendid tart apple aroma, with dry must and wood. Some vinous notes for sure, as Bob suggested. The finish is sour in a particularly red grapefruit-y way for me. Delicious, complex, and surprisingly drinkable. danielcurtis81 (885), San Diego, California, USA

Aroma and taste are sour with lots of lactose acid, but still fairly mild and sweet in comparison to other gueze beers. Very enjoyable.
