Huge thanks to Hopdog for sharing. side by side with the Roze. Appearance is a bit more cloudy than roze, a shade lighter and a higher carbonation. Aroms is very acidic, woody, not quite as woody as roze, intense barnyard funk- pwerful sour lactic and citric acids, gets real funky and almost goaty sweaty with lgiht stinky cheese, butyric acid as well. Light sour apple flavor at first but grows with the other acids in there, and becomes one of the most powerful guezes I have ever had- insane acidity but something in there to back it up so it isnt all just sour- funky brett, lacto and pedio. Finish is almsot mouth puckering, and I think the champagne like spritziness intensifies it. This is one insane Gueze.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottle shared by pepsican. Thanks! Poured a hazy medium orange color with a white head. Smelled of old couch, light vinegar, lemon, and a hint of funky cheese. Light bodied and effervescent with a decent dose of mouth-puckering acidity. The flavor included the likes of pale malt, dusty white wine, citrus, and vinegar. Nice.

Aug 26, 2008 Huge thanks to papsoe on this one. Murky amber pour with a nice sized white head. Oaky, dusty, leather aroma. Oh man. Zesty lemon, oak, leather, dust, and funk in the flavor. Tart finish with plenty of carbonation. This one was much more mild in the flavor than in the aroma which was very nice. Man oh man was this good.

Aug 25, 2008 Thanks to Brad (YGTBSM94). Very sharp and balaced gueeze. Dominate oak surrounds all characters of the beer. With the barrel there is a heavy dryness, tangy fruit, spicy elements, and yeast settling. Incredible high drinkability on the apple and lemon fruit with the dark yellow body.

Aug 23, 2008 Bottle shared at Cleveland tasting on 8-23-08. Thanks!! Bottle pours cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma of earth, lemon, tartness, and wood vinegar come to mind. Has a medium body with a lot of carbonation. Taste is very clean and crisp with lemon, more tart flavors and puckering than the roze I just tried, some oak, and some yeasty overtones. Has a smooth finish. Overall this is a wonderful beer that I would highly recommend. Easily a world class brew.

Aug 18, 2008 RBSG 2008. Pours hazy gold with a small white head. Dry acidic nose, hints of cheese, apple, and dusty barn. Very well balanced with a mellow sourness and acidity.
