Hazy golden gueuze with a thick white head. Sour apples and small wild cherries in aroma, with horseblanket notes. Balance of lemon and tart apples in mouth, extra puckering with chalky notes. Creamy and smooth. Bought at the brewery in late april 2005, tasted May 2005, Capflu’s BW tasting.

Pours gold with a large white head. Smells of hay, barnyard, fruity and tarte. Tate is very sour with some mellow fruity esters. Finish is tarte and lingers a long time.

Hazy, deep golden orange colour. The bottlecap almost exploded off, and the head was initially huge. It quickly died down, though. The aroma is very acidic with notes of apples and vanilla. The initial flavour is sweetish, but gradually almondy bitterness takes over and it is ending on a rather dry note. Long aftertaste. Fizzy, good body. A really special beer, proving the keeping qualities of an oude g(u)euze.

RBESG05: Musty, dusty cobweb aroma. Cheesy funk there too. Loads of fruit in the flavour, quite fresh. Acidic yet still smooth. Lively pale gold with a white head. Nice stuff!

Bottle, RBESG 2005 Grand Tasting. Hazy pale brown colour. Funky aroma, notes of horseblanket and sour fruits. Flavour is typical geuze sour, not too much, fruity. Very nice.

Bottle. Very tart, sour and dry, farmyard, hay, lemon rind, very long bone-dry finish, it is a real shame they don’t make this one anymore, very tasty stuff.

Bottled @RBESG’05
Pale yellow, creamy white head. Sour, slightly earthy nose. Good, not at all bone-dry gueuze. Refreshing, almost a thirst quencher! Long sour aftertaste.

bottled on 21-Nov-1998; thanks to fiulijn for this one ! - it comes with a bright and opaque orange colour and a solid persistant white head, a penetrating, complex nose of rhubarb, grapefruit, sour apples and vinegar; high carbonation, some acidity in the beginning, soon followed by a robust sourness; clean malt body; the finish is very dry and deeply sour with more notes of apples and rhubarb, the whole thing staying very long in the mouth - another masterpiece from 3 Fonteinen !
