1.2 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle @ home shared with DutchDrebus. Hazy yellow color, absolutely no head possible. Smell fungus, cheese, sour, vinegar, sweaty feet and chemical. Taste: can’t describe it, just absolutely rediculously foul! Do I need to say I didn’t finish my glass?
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle [375ml]. Pours a nice murky golden peach colour with a spare diminishing white head. Aroma is sour, tart and quite citrusy along with funky yeast, subtle strawberries and other fruit. Flavour: Whoa, that’s super sour and funky -- and nice! Lots of lemony acidity -- not for the faint of heart. Medium bodied. Another great beer from these guys, I love it!
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
375ml Bottle - 2004 vintage, I think. Amber in colour. Rather musty aroma with notes of strawberry. Musty and very tart taste with notes of sour strawberry jam. Leaves a burning sensation at the back of the throat. Not really my cup of tea, but OK.
3.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
12.7oz. bottle, purchased at Mesa Liquor & Wine, San Diego, CA. Pours a hazy straw yellow. Aroma is funky, barnyard, bleu cheese and sour. Taste is sweet & sour, very tart, zesty citrus and faint sweet strawberry. Finish is light, refreshing, some funk and sweet berry. Pretty complex ale, not for the faint of heart; but if you are a fan of true authentic Belgian lambic, you’ll love this one.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Hazy golden pour with tan head. Funky aroma, cheese and strawberry seed. Mellow strawberry, light sour, and funked flavor. Nice lambic. Wasn’t as acetic as advertised.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Slightly hazy golden orange colour. No head, as could be expected. Aroma like a fruity geuze. Tart, apricot, only slight strawberry. Slightly sweet aroma coming through the tartness. Starting to wonder if they maybe put te wrong label on the bottle.
Then it hits me, despite the colour, it definitely smells a lot like strawberries with balsamic vinegar. Flavour is consistent with the aroma. Bit sweet tart flavour. Strawberry with balsamic vinegar. Tones of apricot and raspberry. Keynote of Hanssens geuze, though an ever so slight bit sweeter. Bit astringent. Finish is tart with some strawberry. Very enjoyable. Bonus points for being so enjoyable while containing strawberies, which I wasn’t sure to be possible.
