Bottle. Hazy light yellow with white head. Quite sweet after taste after the sour beginning. Quite simple otherwize.

RateBeer Rating, Style and Glass: 99, Lambic - Gueuze, flute, tumbler ABV, Volume & Calories: 6% in 12.7 fl oz. estimated at 150 C Purchased at: OakTree in South Plainsfield, NJ for $7.99 Aroma: strong, sour, sharp, and bitter. 8 out of 10. Visuals: foggy, bronze, cloudy, golden, wispy white head, present. 4 out of 5. Taste: mostly sour, strong, well crafted. 8 out of 10. Palate: puckering, silt, silky, longer finish. 4 out of 5. Overall: Very mindful of other lambics, and it’s done well, but it is definitely not a preferred style for me. I would not seek it out again, but it was very well crafted, and highly respectable. 17 out of 20.

Pours out cloudy light orange. Fruity and sweet, but tart. Not to tart. Nice funky, woody and sour flavors. Tasty with a meal or before.Great gueze!

12.7 oz. bottle. A good, but not great, gueze. Great color - a little orange in the mix. Aroma was lemony but not too intense. This is very dry and somewhat tart. All of the flavor is up front and goes away quickly. However, It did quench my thirst and worked well as an appetizer for my meal. I do like the Cantillon Classic Gueze, Hanssens Oude Gueze and the Boon Oude Geueze quite a bit more.

Bottle from the brewery. Cloudy orange/ambet with large white head and nice lacing. Earthy, dirty funk with slight light fruit and lemon. Flavor is dirty sweet, sour, tart, lemon, awesome. Medium body and nice pucker. Beatiful all around, so sour, so tart.

Has to get used to these Geuze. Light brown, sediment. White head mostly diminishing. Aroma: sulfur, wood, acetic acid. Flavor is heavy, harsh acid. Dry texture.

Bottle from the brewery. Bright orange cloudy with a thick white head that doesn’t last long. Nose is tart and slightly fusty with a lemony edge. Mouth is tart lemon funky, with a bit of acid, but with a sweet balance of peach, mellowing. Sharp clean end. Excellent.

Bottle. Pours a golden orange haze body. Aroma is sour funk, some lemon, grapefruit, very tart in nose and cheek. Acidic woodiness. A certain palate cleanser and a easier on the palate then most gueuze. 2005 Bottle 1999 Vintage. Pours an orange copper body with a thin white effervescent head. Horse blanket, light lemon, sour fruit, delicious with very low acidity. This is Awesome at 10!
