yjb (108), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Dec 30, 2007 who wants the funk? you got the funk... but not much else (EDIT- strike that ... nice tannins balance) someone through me in the dirty laundry and shoved me in the barn ... dry, soft not too bad... Update later that night... why serving size matters - the more i drink this the higher its rating goes, it just grows on me (tea???)
Ljunkan (142), Karlstad, Sweden Oct 10, 2008 375 ml bottle from Systembolaget. Hazy golden/yellow color with a white head. Smells a bit of grass, citrus and stable. The flavour is sour with notes of gooseberries and grape. Very dry in the mouth, pretty nice mouthfeel actually. Not as sour as the other gueuze I had before (Cantillon) but still decent. tlind2 (271), Helsinki, Finland Sep 28, 2008 750 ml bottle @ Kallion Poirotti, Helsinki. Cloudy golden color, expansive white head. Slighty sour aroma of black currant leaves. Tangy sour flavor, with notes of lemon peel. High carbonation. Pretty good gueze. Blom (408), Odense, Denmark Sep 22, 2008 Yellow with a high fragmented head. Surprisingly malty aroma, breadlike with notes of grass, sugar, grapes and yeast. The sourness is only secondary. The flavours begin sweet at the tip of the tongue but quickly expand into sourness, wood and acidity. Dry and delicious! Goint deeper into the beer I experience a variety of fruit flavours, ranging from green unripe apple to lemon. (A, s.1, e. 1) jhagmar (72), Gothenburg, Sweden Sep 21, 2008 Bottle, thanks ekstedt. Dark golden, hazy. Sour aroma with notes of barn and leather. Intensely sour taste. Harsh mouthfeel. Allen (644), Wölflinswil, Switzerland Sep 20, 2008 Bottled 37.5cl. It pours a hazy golden beer with a decent head. The nose is wonderful with hints of candy, oak and grapes. Very lightly smoky. Woody. The taste is of candy, oak and grapes. Perfectly balanced. Flowery. A nice bite showing up with the swollow. Some herbal components appear after a few sips. Good lacework. Vinous. A hint of roquefort in the finish which is rather dry. Candy, vanilla and grapes showing up too. Terribly drinkable. Complex and sublime. Thanks a lot bov for this amazing beer.
