3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20330ml bottle into a goblet.
Pours a nearly clear medium brown with a smallish half finger tan head. Ok head retention with pretty good lacing.
Aroma has quite a bit of tartness and cherries along with some vinegar. Barnyard in the background along with yeast. Of all these aromas, however, tart dark fruit really dominates.
The flavor really has a lot going on. Lots of tartness and dark fruit up front but there is a solid powdered cocoa flavor underneath that surprised me a little bit. Barnyard rises quickly next but it remains restrained. Quite acidic all the way through but has a slightly sticky finish. Carbonation is soft and high.
Overall, a tasty but not over the top complex brew. It would make a good introduction into the expansive world of wild Belgian beers.

Beautiful red brown colour with beige head. Smells sweet and sour, but also a bit like sweaty socks (geuze).
Sweet and fruity yet sour and refreshing. Vivid, light body. Spicy/wild geuze finish. A great beer.

Draft at Farmers Cabinet. Slightly hazy dark copper red pour with a large pillowy off-white head. Lots of funny lace. Soft fuzzy sour cherry. Little bit of Flemish funk but mostly a watered down sweet cherry sour. Not bad, but I have just had so many better variations of this style that I can not rate it higher. Still a classic.

Really enjoyed it. Drank at rooftop bar in St Louis. Pours a reddish brown (closer to brown). Taste of sour cherries, but not overly tart. Would have again.
