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.

light sour lemon, apple, pear, apricot. Somewhere in the finish there is actually this touch of marshmallow, which doesm’t make sense given the style and the other flavors, but it works quite well. The flavor kinda disappears after the initial burst on the tip of the tongue. Sure there’s a little wood here and there, but it’s mostly a rather simple beer. Certainly enjoyable, but just doesn’t have a ton of depth.

bottle at delirium. Poured hazy gold with white head. Nice aroma of sourness and wood. Flavor is sour and acidic, but not overpowering. Nice tart dryness at the end. Wonderful beer.

This Oude Geuze is not a stomach-killer like some other geuzes but indeed a sweet revenge after your meal on dishes with too much sugar.

Pours a hazy golden orange with white foam. Champagne-like woody aroma with a bit of banana. Extremely carbonated. Very tart followed by oaky cork mouthful on the side of the tongue.

(Oct 19, 1999) 1998 Bottle @ Kuminator, Antwerpen. Amazing bouquet of virtually every acid you can imagine. Really nice effervescence. Everything a gueuze should be. Perfectly balanced.

Yesterday @ het Anker, Zele. Bottle, 37,5 cl. Hazy orange color, white head. Sour aroma fruity, yeast. Flavour good sourness, malts, perfect in good balance, fruity, and bitter end. Very good gueuze.

Presented to me as the best gueuze and it is the best I have had so far. Crispness washes the sourness away. Excellent for any occasion.
