Lovely geuze but not on the same level as the best in the field - it lacks some corbonation. The taste is rather clear without multible layers of minerals and fruit.

(37,5cl, bottled 2006) Lightly rusty or orangey golden, no head. Apple juicy (and seedy), sour aroma. Quite fresh for a gueuze, not that earthy. Tart flavor with that same apple juice with little of that barnyard and quite strongly tannic, dry finish. There’s even little hops, how odd that may be. Medium bodied, almost totally flat palate. Quite simple for a gueuze, but enjoyable. I love that tannic apple.

golden appearance with strong head. more carbonation than cantillon gueze. Flavor is more malty with less sourness than Cantillon. Possible less complex, but more drinkable than most other lambics

Man I love the gueuze. This isn’t as tart as some that I’ve had, but this is still near mind blowing. The aroma was perfect. Strong funk, wet blanket and vinegar. This beer smells like wet dog/horse which is a good thing. Pour was a nice light gold with a 2 finger off white head. Taste was nice and sour. Not as full as some of this style that I’ve had, but still awesome. Funk, wood, grapefruit and strong acidity. Nice carbonation and very citrusy/grapefruity aftertaste. IMO not as good as Cantillion but close.

Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Clear orange body with almost no head. Sour nose with some citrus. Very tart. Can barely detect a few fruits here. Texture is quite nice, as it really envelops the tongue. I can appreciate the style more - but still have an emperor wears no clothes feeling about lambics...

Pours a hazy golden color with a large head. Aroma of wood, funk, citrus. The most woody beer I’ve ever had, not in a good way. A little sweet, a whole lot of sour and tart. Ugh.

375 ml bottle mail ordered from Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Bottled 30 Nov 2006. Pour is hazy orange golden with a big fluffy white head and audible carbonation. Aroma of tart, sour, funk, barnyard and some sweet citrus fruit. Really beautiful nose, stunning. Taste is initially sweet rounded sourness, transitioning to a funky, woody, earthy tart, dry slightly bitter finish. Orange, lemon and pineapple tart sweetness is also present. The taste is both dry and mouth watering at the same time. Hard to explain, but really works great. This was a really good one, a joy.
