Moriau Gueuze

Brewed by Brouwerij F. Boon
Style: Lambic - Gueuze
Lembeek, Belgium

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

375ml bottle (’Moriau Oude Geuze Vieille’) uncorking like gunshot.. Immediate fresh cheesy lemon aroma puckering with sherbet-spread cellar walls and lambic interest. Pours brilliant honey-golden into the Cantillon tumbler with a torrential effervescence and tall bleached head going nowhere. All the fresh lemony and green apple acidity suggested by the aroma; brie rind dunked in champagne, big oaky kiss of barrel. Really mellow, balanced gueuze- authentic without the lemon juice and horse that has me reaching for the Gaviscon. Glad I popped this in my trolley- had no idea what it was when I saw it. One to savour.

Bottle at pilsnerpeter’s. Thanks to everybody for their generosity. Hazy range with lasting head and lace. Barn leather hay sour lemon pixie stix and cheese aroma. Tart barn fresh horseballs. Nice effervescence. Awesome.

Pale golden pour. Thin head. The nose is intensely cheesey and funky. Loads of bright stinky funkiness, must and sweaty/salty malt. Rich and intense with enough acidity on the back to cut through the intense goaty flavour. A long lingering funkiness with a nice bretty funk. Another winning brew in what is shaping up to be an awesome tasting.

Bottled. Lovely aroma, very sour, with a kick of lemon; pure gueuze here. The palate/carbonation was perhaps a touch too lively, with a sharpness that really interrupts the enjoyment of the acidity and blocks any complexity that may be present. Reminds me a lot of Oud Beersel. A solid effort, but certainly not the best gueuze.

Bottle: Hazy golden with a dense and well retained white head. Fantastic funky aroma- cheese, cobwebby molded wood, farmhouse, leather- just rustic greatness. Fluffy body with a dry sharp funkiness in the flavor. Some mild citric/lemony qualities though it’s not very acidic but it’s got a ton of funk- leather, cobweb, tannic moldy wood. Bone dry, complex, absolutely funky- awesome!

Cloudy orange color with a fluffy head. Aroma is sweet and cheesy, mildly sour, citrus and is just great. Flavor is sweet and sour, some funk and citrus. Smooth and semi dry and just delicious.

Bottle courtesy of Andy at Peter’s tasting. Pours a light hazy orange with a medium sized white head. Brett, hay, lemon, wood and funk. Great aromas. Medium bodied, big brett and lemon. Finishes dry with more lingering brett. Absolutely gorgeous.
