rk70	5 Girardin Gueuze Black Label Wednesday, December 28, 2022
snowcrash000	4.2 Girardin Gueuze Black Label Pours a slightly cloudy, deep, dark amber coloration with a small, fizzy head. Smells of slightly doughy, caramelly malt and estery fruits, with notes of red apple, apricot and gooseberry, as well as hints of hay, spice, funk and oak. Taste is a great balance of slightly doughy and caramelly malt and rich notes of estery fruit and lighter spice, with notes of red apple, apricot, gooseberry, clove and peppery spice, as well as some musty funk and slightly tannic oak. Finished with a medium tartness and some estery fruit and spice, as well as musty fubnk and oak lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbontion. While this stands on its own very well, it certainly is by far the best value for money I ever encountered when it comes to Gueuze, although your mileage may vary. I paid 4€ for this 375ml bottle and honestly enjoyed it better than some more established and expensive examples of the style. It's a bit more malt-forward than your average Gueuze, which is not a bad thing at all in my book, while being quite funky, with a certain musty, leathery quality to it. The esters are coming through nicely as well, quite fruity, with hints of spice, while are also some tannic, oaky accents to this. Overall, this makes for a very nice, quite funky and estery Gueuze that feels rich and well-balanced. Sunday, December 11, 2022

dieter.jacobs1	3.9 Girardin Kriek Friday, September 2, 2022
ClarkVV	4 Girardin Oude Lambik Row 34 draught, 8/25/22. Clear, rusty copper. No head. Good and cellar-like, musty, funky, cheesy, heavy B. lambicus with tons of cherry pie. Good malt/wheat, nice balance, no acetic. Low on lactic acidity, even. A very soft lambic. Soft, almost still, lemon, cheese rind, heavy Brett. A lot more approachable than the 2017 Cantillon GCB I just had, though that's not necessarily a good thing. Kind of surprisingly uncomplex. Lemon, cherry, cheese rind. Is there Jerez in here somewhere? Certainly no slouch, though. Thursday, August 25, 2022
brokensail	1.3 Girardin Oude Lambik Oysters & Gueuze 2021. Pours a cloudy orange color with a thin ring of white bubbles. Ooof, this is rough. Bile, diacetyl, and lemon juice. What in the world is going on here. Just overly acidic and off overall. Watery and thin mouthfeel with no carbonation. A bit of green apple skin and wood as well. What happened here?

GTAEgeek	3.7 Girardin Oude Lambik Half pour at the Brick Store Pub. Pours a clear, golden color, with a small, bubbly, off-white head. The nose is sweet apple, horse blanket, black pepper, amd lemon peel. Dry and beautifully funky. Light, leathery, and lightly acidic. Really nice. Monday, August 1, 2022
ozzatoadisback	3.7 Girardin Gueuze Black Label Pours a hazy, intense orange, with at most one finger of large meshed white head. Quick to dissipate, no lacing. The aroma is (nicely) on the soft side of the style, though weaker than expected: moderate sourness (softly citric and slightly acetic) with notes of tangerine, lemon, maybe apple and the slightest hint of vinegar. Nice funky complexity, with leather and a barnyardy feel most noticeable. Feels brighter/more vivid in taste. Neutral malty base, moderate sourness (softly citric, slightly acetic), taste notes as per aroma. Nice sweet/sour balance in the mouth, with a pretty dry (almost tannic) finish that leaves a clean mouth. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation, a simple and easy but nicely vivid mouthfeel. Overall this was very enjoyable and quite easy to drink, with a nice funky complexity to it. Sunday, July 17, 2022

Bosskie	4.3 Girardin Gueuze White Label Clear copper colour, small but persistent white head, huge bubbliness. Smell is sour wood, funky, oranges, apples maybe even some cherries, salty tart citrus, hint of cumin, curry. Taste is bitter, sour with a clean finish, which leaves a slight hint of wood and sourness in the mouth. The fizz is strong in the beginning but bears of nicely. Complex, lots going on, brilliant! Sunday, May 15, 2022
blariacum	3.6 Girardin Gueuze White Label Fles, wel een oude, maar smaak goed zuur. Ooit ook al eens eerder gedronken. Prima gueuze (op RB 7-2-22, 5-4-7-4-16 is 3,6) Monday, February 7, 2022
thejackpacker	2.9 Girardin Kriek Glass at In De Verzekering Tegen De Grote Dorst. Aroma is like cherry squash syrup or the haribo cherries. No foam and and coloured. Taste is similar, like haribo cherries. Bit disappointing overall but you can't win them all. Sharp kind of ending, like blood and cherries. could probably give this to kids without complaint. Smeh.
