Tasted from bottle at RBSG. I saw this online for sale at 50E ($80 + shipping)/bottle. I got a group a people together to each pitch in $20, but nobody had the cahones to pull the trigger. Luckily I am able to taste it today. I’ve never seen so many glasses (including mine) reaching for a pour. Wow. Great aroma. Perfect mild sourness. Cloudy yellow orange color. Super easy to drink. Faintly acetic. Great.

Bottle @ RBSG grand tasting generously provided by Dunk. Pours orange with a tan ring. Nose is sick and very tart. Taste is tart and well fantastic.

(Bottle 75 cl) Lightly hazy golden with a rough off-white head. Fresh, astringent, Brettish nose. Medium body with a fairly complex Brett character and a lightly astringent and sour finish. But actually a fairly mellow and drinkable gueuze. 290608

Bottle @ the RBESG08 Grand Tasting.
[thank you, bager]
Pours hazy yellow-golden with a big, frothy, off-white head. Turns into a thin film. Aroma is funky, good overripe apples and citric tartness. Fine, dry mouthfeel. Flavour is wonderfully dry, lots of barnyard, citric tartness, overripe apples again. Wonderful.

Sampled at the RBESG08 grand tasting. Shady golden with medium white head. Wonderful cideray and earthy aroma with a mild funkiness. Light in body with soft but lively carbonation. Almost perfecly balanced with a light sweetness and a mild but firm acidity.
