Jan 6, 2009 Bottle from Capones. Vintage 2005. Pours out a cloudy light golden/straw color with a moderate slightly off white head. Sour, vinous aroma with some tart fruits. Taste is complex and well balanced sour funkiness goes with some tart apple, citrus and some earthy notes. Well done.

Jan 2, 2009 Feb 2nd, 2007 bottle. Hazy golden pour. Thought about saving this to crush with carythedude, but it seems like he crushed one without me. So screw him. Funky, sour aroma. A bit citrus, a bit of hay, and maybe some cheese? Flavor is sour and oakey, lots of tart fruits. Pretty awesome.

Dec 31, 2008 750ml bottle from BOTW. Bottled Feb 28 2004, consumed Dec 31st 2008. Almost 5 years old. The cork comes loose with a loud pop and the pour is a muddy gold with a big pillowy head of white lace and cream. Aroma is sour as expected with some nice citrus. Flavor is sour, but balanced and not overwhelming. There is some funkiness and a very odd touch of what can only be described as vanilla? Very strange, but nice. A fantastic way to end the year.

Dec 29, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Dadbra called it mink piss. I think its a little better than that. Old man mustiness and sour fruitiness. So much fun to give a gueuze to someone who hasnt tried one yet and watch their face.

Dec 13, 2008 750 ml bottle dated 17 January 2006. Pours a hazy gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted through mid-glass and left some spotty lace. The haze eventually clears, revealing lots of tiny carbonation bubbles rising to the surface like a glass of champagne. Tart, funky aroma with lots of barnyard, old leather, and a few citrus notes struggling to be noticed. The flavor is less funky than the aroma, and is more about the fruit with lots of sweet and tart flavors swirling about. Effervescent and lively on the palate. This is a style that I have had some difficulty appreciating, although I must say I enjoyed this one.
