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.

Sep 19, 2008 Bottle from a 75cl bottle; vintage 1998. Poured a light orangey color with a medium bubbly head. Fantastic aroma with a funky barnyard musty note. Taste was a mixed well balanced lemony, tart, and light sour note along with some medium light oak. Without doubt drinkable with almost no acidity and some great carbonation! Mellow, soft, and a well balanced, quite refined Gueuze. Without question an outstanding Gueuze for the ages even after ten years.

Sep 3, 2008 Cloudy golden with huge white short lasting head. Quite thick head for a lambic. Sour aroma with wood, grapefruit, barnyard and leather notes. Sour and very complex flavor with grapefruit, barnyard, wood and hay. Very soft and easyly drunk. I could drink this every moning. Excellent!

Aug 25, 2008 Thank to YGTBSM94. Easy drinking w/ a slight tart and funk. Balance, complexity, and all fruit notes excell here. Maybe my favorite from 3 Fonteinen. Ageing is working well as of 8/22/08.

Aug 18, 2008 RBSG 2008. What a treat. Dry and acidic, citrusy and tropical floral notes in the funkiness. The sourness and acidity were very relaxed, the aging mellowed this out very well leaving behind a beautiful mellow cloudy orange brew.
