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.

Feb 27, 2008 2006 bottle sampled at a hotel in Beersel since I went there on a Tuesday because of poor planning I didn’t get to go to 3 Fontenien. Aromas were sour, funky, woody, musty, and all around rustic. Beer poured a cloudy golden color with a white head that dissipates rather quickly. Flavor is sour, with must, lemon, and grapefruit, and pretty dry. Seems a little less edgy and lemony than Cantillon’s Gueze. Mothfeel is lightly carbonated . Very good

Pours golden with no head. Smell is musty, funky, and fairly standard, I thought. Generally unappealing to me. Taste is tart but less so than the Cantillon Classic Geuze. Somewhat musty, dirty, but with a sharp oaky sourness.

Feb 22, 2008 Pours hazy golden-orange with off white head. Classic gueze aroma of citrus, funky yeast, vanilla, sour notes. Nice sourness compliments the prickly carbonation. Notes of citrus, apple, white wine, funk, and dried fruit in the flavor. A solid take on a proven style, but it doesn’t really jump out at me as anything special. I need to sample some more of this style to really put this into perspective.

Feb 20, 2008 2005. Gorgeous amber, sunrise color, with a nice off white head. Aroma is a nice citrus sourness, oak, vanilla, vinegar. Taste is a nice sourness, oak, horse-blanket, citrus. I need to buy more.

Feb 17, 2008 375, corked, baled, and foiled. Pours a murky bright orange amber. Thick creamy white head that settle quickly to film and scant lace. Sharp, vinegary, funky nose. Medium, slightly fizzy body. Vinegar, sour cherries, horse blanket, and other delights await you on the mid-palate. Long, very slightly minerally and not-so-slightly funky-tart finish.

Feb 15, 2008 I found this to be much smoother on the acidity than some of the other I have tried of this style. Not extremely tart and sour, but much more balanced all the way through. Hazy orange with a very nice aroma, predominant lemon tartness, with some spice and dried fruits. Does slightly lack a bit of depth and complexity, but a decent take to start out on the style.
