Editor’s Note: There is a lot of confusion on this one. Please look at your bottle. It belongs here only if it says "Vintage" on the label. If it does not, it belongs under the regular Oude Gueuze listing. The above vintage guide is not what you should go by, as there are both 2002, 2003, 2004, etc...releases of Vintage and Regular Oude Gueuze.

Bottle shared by Shyam. Very outstanding character. Aroma is of sour wood, white pepper, gelatin, multiple citrus examples, mold, sour funk and earth. Flavors of all the same - like biting into a molding fruit. Finish is long, dry and tart.

Bottle, 2004. The aroma is sour, strong yeast and fruity, very nice. The head is medium large, white and creamy-foamy with a long duration. The body is cloudy and orange. The taste is very sour and refreshing with a medium duration. The beer is very dry in the mouth and has a astringent finish with a normal duration. The body is light to medium.

Bottle shared with Alex of Brasserie 4:20, thanks again Alex for sharing a special bottle with me. Pours hazy yellow with a thin head. Great farmhouse aroma with some sour citris notes as well. Sour funk all over the place with a complex finish that lasted for a solid minute. I am usually not crazy about sours, but this was unique and better than other gueuze I have had.

Bottle shared by Sam the Turd (thanks, Mr. Ferguson!). A tasty treat, to be sure. Hazy orange/gold pour with surprisingly huge bubbly white head. Tart wood, lemon, cherry, peach, dust, hay, barnyard, love, joy, transcendence.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Vintage version dated 13/04/2002. The look is cloudy, peached colored, with a light white head. Very inviting. The smell is very woody, oak, fruits, tart, old smelling, funk, and barnyard. Very nice. The taste is acidic, fruits, wood. Good carbonation level. Nice dry finish.
