Bottled. Clear dark orange pour, lively carbonation evident, short white head. Big time sour, slightly metallic nose. Soft mouthfeel, sugary sweetness mixed with the lighter-than-advertised sourness. Not overly sour, I did enjoy this. Good one, not amazing.

A nice though somewhat sticky sweetness. Sour and sweet. Attractive soapy bubblehead and good lace on an orange body. Fruit and malt aroma. Easy mouthfeel and drinkability from maltiness more than acidity. Medium mouthfeel. Sampled at Cole’s Belgian fest.

A clear orange beer with a nice white head, from a quite high carbonation, but the bottle has aged for some years. The aroma is nicely sour with notes of wood, oranges, and some berries. The flavor is quite sour at first, but then somehow gets a stint of sweetness with notes of oranges, wood, and mold, before the acidity gains in power again towards the end with notes of metal and vinegar. Nice one - thanks to Jesper from Brygshoppen.dk for supplying me with this one.

From bottle. Orange pour with white head. Sour, yeasty nose. Flavor of sour apple and champagne. Light, crisp and dry finish. Nice.

Thanks goes out to gputty for this one. Poured a cloudy golden color with a small white head. Aroma was sour fruit with some yeast and grassy notes. Flavor was tart apple, it was more like a hard cider.

"Is this really a Gueuze. Aroma was weak, some citrus and a sweetyness. Flavor WAY off for this style, no barnyard horseblankets no tart. Just a bad beer within style. Was refreshing. "
