Received a 750 ml bottle via trade with Papsoe, pours a semi-clear golden pale brew with an average white head that has some nice lacing and thin ring after dissipation. Aroma of mild barnyard funk, some tropical fruit, yeast and a touch of citrus zest. Taste is tart with some fruity flavors, a touch of dry spice, yeast funk with a touch of lemon. Finish is semi-dry, with a light tart fruit and dry pepper spice aftertaste.

(bottle, big thanks to Skyview for sharing this rare beer at the Sourfest!) Pours clear gold with a medium white head. The aroma is a little toned down on the funk compared to the Blauw, but it’s still present. There’s also a good deal of fruit scents with unripe peach and pineapple in the mix. The taste is quite briny, lightly sour with lemon peel, and some oak is there. The finish is quite peppery and not bone dry like the Blauw. The mouthfeel is medium, and this is a very fine gueuze indeed.

Many thanks to Skyview for sharing this gem. An immensely funky and sour aroma with gouda cheese cutting through the lambic sourness. A sour body that was a little watery compared to the Blauw. Excellent.

Bottle Fin brought to our "Welcome Home Frank" tasting. Nice one! With Fin, Loz and Traci. Honey color with a small layer of white bubbles. Spicy orange aroma, tide pool, and distinctive tobacco: big pungent musky tobacco leaves, still with a bit of green to them. Apricot, lemon, and a woody chalk flavor. Good round oaky sourness, wooly dry finish. Stunny nose that the flavor doesn’t quite live up to, but this is a noteworthy beer just by merit of the aroma.

Had this at the Austin Tastin and Cleveland get together as well. Hazy golden, orange. Decent white head. Peppery aroma with yeast and fruit as well. Much more subtle than the Blauw. Flavor is restrained too. A bit earthy. A good beer, but not great.
