Bottle, with Riley. Pours hazy deep orange, crusty/foamy white head, sticky lacing. Nose is pungent stinky cheese, great tropical fruit, loads of sweaty socks, horse testicles, but in a good way... Simple yet gorgeous.

2012.09.22 - bottle 37.5cl - the cork hit the ceiling on its trip to Mars - Acidity in the mouth, but not that much - dry, some citrus, and even some bitterness

Brittle via trade with Canada. Pours a very murky and quite dark orange with a huge head that is as pure as the driven snow. The first sniff reveals a onslaught of funk, barnyard and urinary tract infections. Hidden in there I also detect a whiff of crotch cheese and dirty old man. Awesome. The first sip hits with a sharp acidity. Bacterial, primordial. Cheese. Very high carbonation level. Well, the aroma promised a phenomenal beer, but honestly, the taste let me down quite a bit. This is pretty one dimensional, with the sharp acid playing the starring role and the funk is only a $50 a day extra. Decent, good, drinkable but not mind blowing. This is on par with cuvée de champions, or perhaps just a step behind. Nowhere near 3F or Hanssens.

Bottle at Storminorman’s. White head. Manure! Loads of barnyard funk, old hay, dirt and manure. Flavor is dry, lightly sour, again tons of good old barnyard and yeasty flavors.

37,5 cl bottle at Bierhyske, Antwerp. Clear golden beer with a offwhite head. Sweet and fruity aroma. Sourish and citrus flavour. A really nice beer.

Bottle from Secret Santa, thanks! Pours a hazy orange with straw white head that is rather full. Aroma is mild barnyard with some sweet notes. The taste is middle of the road with some citrus notes such as unripe orange and some more funk but very mild sour. Overall, nice gueuze but nothing I’d likely seek out again.

Bottle, 08/15/2012. 2010 vintage. Hazy golden pour, nice frothy white head that sticks around for a while. Nice aroma, light basement must, earthy, tart fruity apple, grape, citrus. Taste is more simple,tart green apple, mild barnyard, clean dry finish, acidic but not overly sour. Light medium body. Simple geuze, but refreshing and pleasant, worth a try.

Bottle. Hazy deep golden pour, huge foamy white head. Aroma is typical geuze, barnyard, citrus peel, spicy, grapefruit, quite fruity and refreshing. Flavor is a nice sourness, spicy and very fruity. Well drinkable. Nice one.
