3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at Cafe La Brocante, Brussels. It pours golden yellow, with a thick off-white head. The nose is farmyard, hay, funk, citrus and some TCP. The taste is soft apple, pear, tart lemon, hay and wood, with a tart finish. Clean, fresh taste. Medium body, lively carbonation and soft, velvety mouth-feel. A very soft, smooth and approachable gueuze.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle courtesy of craytonic. Served in a Cantillon gueuze tumbler.
Pours a somewhat-darkened golden color with a good white head and just a bit of lacing on the way down. The nose has some restrained funk and some earthiness. Acidity is light-to-moderate. A bit of citrus, but not too much, a la Tilquin or Cantillon. Flavor is similar. Body is light and carbonation is a bit low. Not enough funk or acidity; it’s a bit lacking in character. An interesting gueuze to try, but not among the best.

No aroma. Cloudy amber, thick head. Orange and lime flavor, sharp but not cheesy. Soft carbonation. Not overly sour, but quite flavorful.
