Tasting with Casey, Traci, Craig, Stella and Loz 27-09-08 this bottle brought along by Fin (cheers to myself) Pours very hazy light amber. The nose and mouth have plenty of prickly apricot, sour nectarine, and peach skin. This incredible sour fruitiness just ripples around the mouth forever bouyed by a lovely soft cabonation. Some damp flour, wheat (picked up by Casey) the edges are softened sightly which makes this so much more palatable to me than some of the very, very sour Gueze. Really marvellous beer.

Had this on several occasions. Vibrant golden pour with a nice white head. Aroma is very complex and awesome. Too much going on to describe...flavor is the same. Yeasy, sour, funky, fruity and light spice. Awesome body and drinkability.

Huge thanks to Skyview for acquiring and sharing this gem. Opaque gold color and a tall white head. Heavily carbonated. Powerful aromas of yeast, barnyard horseblanket. Wild yeast. Earthy, dry, some cheese, very mild hops. Quite sour. Full palate and very full flavor. Probably one of the best beers ever made. One of my few 5.0 ratings. It is well deserved.

Mega thanks to Skyview! Hazy gold color with a large head. Moderately tart aroma. Some sourness and a bit of marshmallow. Dry wheat taste. Light lemon and a bit of tartness that fades pretty quickly. Very dry finish. Heavy carbonation. Excellent.

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.

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.

Thanks to Brad (YGTBSM94). Very sharp and balanced 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. First Bottle: 4.8 Second Bottle: 4.3 Third Bottle:4.7
