3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cloudy golden / copper colour with a beige head. Typical farmyard lambic aroma. Flavour didn’t really hit the high notes for me, just not my thing I suppose, bit sweet for my liking perhaps.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Unclear and golden beer. Very sour sour, citrus, acidic notes and earthly notes. Very likeable.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
My Bottom Line :
Dusty basement notes are enlivened by citrus fruit and wheat biscuits before an acetic punch seals this dry Gueuze.
Further Personal Perceptions :
-A slice of foam tops the cloudy dark yellow.
-The flavor profile was more intense than the aroma, as well as more revealing.
-White grapes are part of the fruity character tasted.
-The frothy effervescence, made of tiny bubbles, increases drinkability for such an intense brew.
-Sourness is prominent, and refreshment is guaranteed, if you can tolerate this level of intensity in acidity, that is.

Fra flaske i Hanssens Artisanaal under Tour de Geuze 2011. Ser ut som eplejuice. Uklar. Lavt skum. Syrlig fruktaroma. Samme med smaken. Sprudlende. Lett, litt syrlig ettersmak.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
750mL poured into the Tilquin tumbler. Pours a light copper/goldenrod with a finger of bone dry head. Aromas of sharp brett, hay, body odor, and lemon. This geuze is still pretty new...notes of sharp, complex funk, cheese, lemon peel, white grapes. I think a few years will round this geuze out nicely.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a hazy golden amber color. Aromas of wood, grass, yeast, some fruit and spice. Taste is yeasty, sour and medicinal, can really taste the funk in this one. Outstanding!!!
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
750 ml. 2011 bottle, bb 28 10 2030. Opaque orange amber with a large pillow of spongy foam. Aroma is both fresh and musty: grape must, white wine, sharp cheese, earthy spice, resin, beeswax. Taste is white wine, sour grape, cranberry, light cheese, and some earthy resin. Medium body is watery, tart and dry with acidity, and has medium-high carbonation. Pretty much like a nice white wine and aged cheese blended into a martini glass with a dash of peppery vinegar.

75 cl bottle vintage 2009 @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, rated on 07.08.2010
Sour and fresh aroma with earthy notes and some sour apples. Flavour is sour with grapefruit, sour apples, leathery and earthy notes. Feels actually like a blend of everything. Still very good.

Another epic bottle shared by darkguardian at Ryan’s TOSPH. Cloudy pee colored pour. Funk and barnyard aromas. A well balanced geuze with lemon, citrus, and barnyard funk flavors.
