4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
2011 version, 13C. Gold with a white head that lasts well. High bead. Aroma of the basement, old lemons, lime leaf, apricot stones/ almonds, sweat. Less aggressively funky and tart than it smells. Slightly slippery, pretty high carbonation - a swirl or two was good. Taste has some apricot/ peach sweetness, flowers, grapefruit, apricot stones. Even a little peppery at the end. Sourness is brooding rather than edgy. Not achingly dry at the end, but that’s OK. Plenty of intrigue, some wildness - yet easy drinking. Excellent.

Bottle, 2009 vintage, 11/19/2012. Pours light caramel chestnut, foamy rocky head, fades eventually leaving sudsy lacing, champagne bubbles around side of glass. Aroma of grapefruit pulp with citrus, tart green apples and pear, leathery barnyard funk to balance with musty oak character. Taste is bright, tart green apple and white grape, vinous, with nice acidity, moderate funk, vanilla, with sour fruity finish. Light, lively, refreshing body, champagne-like carbonation. Nice, fruity geuze but still balanced.

Pours a hazy and amber beer with a white head. The aroma is fruit, tart and sourness. The flavor follows the nose with additional grapefruit. The palate is sweetness, acidity and bitterness. Overall a really good and complex beer.

Some good stuff in this bottle. Really liking this. Had both the 2009 and the 2011. I thought the 2009 was better.

750ml bottle thanks to grownfool. More orange than yellow with a good foamy head. Smell was slightly sour, dusty citrus, good. The taste was also very good but did not have a lot of horseblanket or barnyard, mostly sour citrus with a slight bit of phenol and rubber on the backend. This was so damn easy to drink, quite good. I had read that this gueuze was not so great but I disagree, this was a very good gueuze.
