Mar 14, 2008 0.375 l bottle, bottled 2006. Hazy peachy color with small head. Very acidic aroma with grapefruit, lemon, strawberry, sulphur and perfumed-flowery notes. Acidic, grapefruity, lemony and mentholy flavor with wild yeast bitterness. Highly carbonated. Excellent, balanced and very satisfying! We tasted this and 3 Fontainen vintage oude gueuze 2004 in a same session but I prefer this.

Very sweet vinegar smell - not too tart, but mostly vinegar in the nose. Cloudy yellow orange in appearance. Quite tart in the flavor but not much more to it. It is sour but just not as balanced as I wanted. Vinegar becomes more and more prevalent as it warms.

Mar 8, 2008 Finally tried this one out of a 12.7 ounce bottle. Aroma had some solid funkiness, citrus, and some yeast to it. Flavor was not all that sour which was nice when you are drinking a whole bottle yourself. Pretty tastey overall.

Mar 8, 2008 Updated: May 6, 2008Pours into my Lindemans flute with a hazy golden color with thick frothy white head. Aroma is of sour apple, horse blanket, yeast, and light peach. Taste yeast, sour apple, light citrus, and note of peach. Moderate carbonation and sharp dry finish. Good stuff!

Mar 8, 2008 Thanks to TheCheeseMan for this one! Pours a cloudy gold color with lots of bubbles and a thick foamy white head. Aroma is funky, barnyard, and tart. Taste is funky, some green apple, and dry. Tastes great but the palate finishes a bit flat and bitter. Awesome, but I prefer the Cantillon Gueuze over this.

Mar 7, 2008 Bottle (375 ml) from Biertempel, Brussels, Belgium. Deep hazy golden with a short-lived white head. Cidery aroma with green apples and grapefruit, and some very faint oak and leather notes. Very dry with firm acidity, albeit more restrained than in Cantillon brews, and a mild grapefruit-like bitterness.

Mar 5, 2008 Bottle, split with after4ever. Pours clear warm amber with a lacy white head. Seriously funky nose. But the funk doesn’t carry over into the taste so much as I expected. I get some cherries but not a lot of the barnyard - which is completely OK with me. Light body, active carbonation. Lightly sour taste with a tart finish.

Mar 5, 2008 Thanks to Geuzelover for this aged sample, bottle reads- 1/22/2004
Cloudy orange color with very little head (maybe to due age of this sample).
Smells tart with some spice and horseblanket.
Leathery spicy horseblanket, sour lemon, lactic acid taste/feel.
One of the more complex geuzes I’ve sampled, but not sure how much is due to age as I’ve yet to try a fresh sample.
