Robe blonde accompagnée d’une mousse blanche peu persistante. Arômes puissants de pomme, de vanille... bouche subtil ou l’acidité mène la dégustation. Belle saveurs de fruits (pomme).

Bottle 375ml. Clear golden pour with decent white head. Aroma is (too) light barnyard and leather, hay but mostly green apples. Light tartness and wood, sweet apples and leaf. Nice carbonation. Lacks authenticity.but still enjoyable.

Pours a clear copper with a thin white head that leaves some lacing. Unusual and magnificient I must say! Aroma I don’t dig, though. You get used to it but there are some strange sweet and fruity (cheap fruits, even) notes in there instead of the funk. Taste is sweeter than the Black Label but the acidity and sourness push it over to the gueuze/lambic side. It isn’t overly sour or acetic but it is still a really drinkable gueuze. Carbonation is really nice, M-H. Overall — as everyone said before me — it is the shadow of its Black counterpart but it is still really enjoyable!

pours clear medium dark golden with a decent off-white head, some retention and lacing. sweet fruity and toasted malts - ripened apricots, breadiness, belgian candi, bretts, moderate funk, light acidity, barely enough to cut though that sugar, stem ginger and pepper. average carbonation, light body, very lightly acidic and grassy finish. meh - disappointed. not even remotely close from black label..

Okay...not a big gueuze fan there are only a few guezes i drunk that i liked...and this is not one of em.

Bottle (375 ml). Clear copper with a medium fully lasting white had and little lacing. Aroma of leather, lemon, hay, green apple and light funk. Taste is slightly to moderately sweet with green apple, lemon, barnyard, light funk and medium acidic presence. Mouthfeel is slightly to moderately dry and acidic. Good carbonation. Very good Gueuze, but it doesn’t have the deep and complexity of the Black Label. It’s still really good, extremely refreshing and dangerously drinkable though.

Keg @ Mikkeller Bar Viktoriagade? (maybe Mikkeller & Friends). Light amber with a small head. The nose is peaches, a bit of lemon, wood, soft cheese and yogurt. The nose is ore dried wood, a bit of pinecone, white grape and apples. Hints of citrus on the finish. Moderate unwashed sock funk. Smooth and easy to drink. Very light. Overall, doesn’t have the personality of Black Label, but still quite decent.
