33CL bottle, bought at supermarket in IJmuiden. For me this beer is to sweet. To much sugar.

375ml bottle.
Light amber brown with an off white head. Fruity, syrupy and sour aroma. Similar flavour. Sour, syrupy plum and strawberry. Medium carbonation. Enjoyable beer.

Huge, very dense dirty-yellow head over copper-coloured beer, very well-carbonated visibly. Caramel(syrup), wood, Brett (horseblanket even), fruity esters (peach). Neutral, rather than sweet (or sour, God forbid); woody, plywood, slightly solvent, old hops (slightly cheesy). Brett gone to the ... - there’s some lemon flavour, unsure of itself. Syrupy maltiness, caramel underneath. Very spritzy, highly carbonated; sticky, syrupy presence, false body. An old acquaintance, still as unconvincing as ever.

Oh man, I avoided buying this beer for the longest time because I was pretty sure it was a waste of 4 dollars. And I was right. Pours a deep golden colour with a thin white lightly sticky head. The aroma is some weird funkiness, some metallic notes, and something very sweet. The flavour is pretty funky aswell, some bruised apple, some off sourness, and a butt load of sugar. Very syrupy mouthfeel, most likely from all the sugar. A pretty nasty beer all and all.

Nice clean crisp golden amber coloured body with a thinnish white head. Aroma of hay, sour grapes, wheat, honeysuckle, vinegar and a tiny bit of malt. Light-bodied; Nice sour flavour up front with a good yeastie finish coupled with the vinegar and slightly sweet flavours you’d expect. Aftertaste shows some puckering, along with musty and grassy flavours throughout. Overall, a good gueuze - sweet and sour at the same time with a modestly meaty body. I sampled this 37.5 cL ’split’ bottle purchased from Bier Tempel in Bruxelles, Belgium on 02-January-2008 sampled on my birthday 30-June-2008.

Amber with foamy white head that thins quickly. Light fruit aroma like cider. Very refreshing bubbly light fruity taste. Not too sweet or dry. Pleasantly surprised and looking forward to other gueuzes if this one is rated so low.

(Bottle) Pours a grayish amber colour. The aroma is sourish, tart and citric with notes of wood, mold, basement, chemicals, tart unripe tropical fruits, toasty malt and hints of stable. The flavour is medium sweet and light to medium tart and acid. Some wood, mold and vinegar. Fruity undertones of apples and light citrus. Soft carbonation. Medium dry finish. Light to medium bodied.

Bottle, bought @ Belgisk Bryg, Cph.
Pours a beautiful clear orange with a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma has lots of citric tartness, good apple notes and a feel of Belgian sugars. Light feel and highly carbonated. Flavour is extremely mild, lightly citric tart. It isn’t sweet as fx chapeau, but just non-existent.
