PP Strong Ale Fest 07. Bottle, 6-9-2003 from JohnC. THANKS.. This Lambic-Gueze pours a deep orange gold color from a 750ml bottle. Large sized white foamy head, good retention and excellent lacing. Aroma is fruity, tart and sweet, funky and fruity. A medium bodied Gueze. The malts are fruity and sweet. There is a ton of funkiness, tartness, and sourness going on here. Yet it all stays balanced and clean. This beer is loaded with very complex flavors combinations, the interplay between the tart and sweet is amazing. WOW. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is crisp, dry and tart. Aftertaste is tart and sour, but clean.

PP Strong Ale Fest 07. Bottle, 6-9-2003 from JohnC, thanks so much for this killer killer killer treat. Pours orange with a gold 1 finger tan head. Nose is subtle but incredible, sour, tart, and all around killer. Taste is sour, tart and super complext, stays in the mouth, no intense throat burn here. Likely best Gueze I’ve ever had, I’ll echo Mike (eyedrinkale) Fucking WOW. John you rock!

Rating #1200 Bottle from fonefan. Slightly hazy light amber body with a large, chunky white head-lasting, nice lace. The nose is moderately sour with light lactic acid, melon, tons of horseblanket, pineapple, cobwebs and light cheese. The flavor is moderately sour, lightly sweet with lemon, melon, cider, cheese, tangerin and red grapefruit. Medium body is ultra soft and smooth with moderate/high carbonation that remains gentle. Brilliant stuff. Probably the best Lambic I’ve ever had.

Bottle shared by cquiroga: Pours a slightly cloudy effervescent golden bronze with a nicely-lacing frothy white head. Tart, complex funky, doughy cheesy aroma. Body starts very dry, puckering and fairly full, slightly oaky, and cheesy. A nicely-balanced and complex brew that should continue to age well.
