2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
375ml Bottle: Pours a clear, pale orange colour, good sized white head that reduced to a thin layer until it was done. A sour aroma, apple and pear cider, white wine, peppery spice. Lots of fruity apple and pear in the flavour, obviously sour, but with significant sugar content. Unlike any gueuze I’ve had, not that I’m an expert, but reminds me of what would happen if you poured apple juice and pear cider into a gueuze. Average.

(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.

Pours a clear headless gold with an oaky sour aroma. Tastes sour at first, fruity - cheap apple juice, opening up into a sweeter almost buttery finish. Lots of carbonation, thin body. Quaffable, but sour-heads would be advised to avoid this one.

Tasted 2007-07-22. Fresh bottle, 25cl. Golden beer with creamy head. Sour, pineapple, barnyard, champagne. Fresh taste! OK gueuze, but better exists!

Horse-blanket aroma. Quite watery. Gentle taste, very musty and sweaty. Not acidic enough.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Smells almost exactly like a McDonald’s cheeseburger. A little bit of sewage works its way into the nose as well -- less than impressive, but points for being interesting. Appears brown, I think, but I’m drinking it from a white mug. White head (heh). Has a cheeseburger taste similar to the aroma. Very sweet and dry. Aftertaste is of grains or cereal. Frankly, it’s made me want a cheeseburger. (Once the initial taste recognition has worn off, I can taste some sour apples and other stuff.)

Nice color and head, sweet aroma. Taste is also very sweet, very apple/fruit like.

Nice geuze for those who are unfamiliar with the style and are affraid of the funkiness and tartness of the unsweetened ones. Way too sweet for those who already know they are lambic lovers.
Pale amber, rather big white head for a geuze. Aroma quite sour, fruits, caramel, light barnyard. Flavour is light, rather (too) sweet, caramel, hints of crisp apple, lightly sour. Finish mostly sweet, some caramel.
