Spicey horseblanket, acidic on the nose. Pours blonde with a thick white head. Tart honey, earthy farmhouse with tart citrus. Great beer!

Courtesy redlight. Thanks brent. Pours a cloudy orange red with a small white head. The smell is of monster acidity and sourness with a touch of lemons, just like a good gueze should smell like. The taste has a decent sourness to it but not as much as you would expect. It wasnt cheek puckering at all. Nice earthy sourness to it, lemons and citrus fruit dominate the flavor characters. It almost seems like its a bit more mellow than its counterparts. Good gueze.

Bottle at the MicroBar in Clapham (London), slightly hazy light amber with a frothy white head. Aroma was yeasty, with ground cloves and peppery spice. A brilliant sourness all the way through, tart fruit flavour with a yeasty background.

Nice slightly hazy golden color. Light, fizzy carbonation with some streaks of tiny bubbles on the surface. Aroma of muscat grapes, grains, a fruity sourness, a slight musty funkiness and some acetic acid. Intense fruity flavors with grains, a hint of woodiness, a musty sourness, apple cider vinegar, and a bit of bitterness. Very dry and clean finish. Hugely fizzy and champagne-like soft mouthfeel. Really great stuff, I could drink this endlessly. Immediately after each sip, I wanted more.

Pours golden orange with a white 1 inch head. Nice, sticky lacing. Nose is lemon zest, orange, lawn clippings, and yeast. High carbonation, medium body and cloying mouth feel. Tastes are citrus, fresh yeast, sour apple, tree bark. Crazy sour, just how I like it. Nice complexity and acidity. Another great Gueuze.

Nice lemony aroma. Good acidity, it has a very smooth flavor that is marred slightly by a shot of bitterness through the aftertaste. Not tremendously complex, but well made.

The Dan Journal #17. Tasted 5/30/06. 750ml bottle. Hazy and golden brown. Lacing white head. Musty aromas with hints of apples and pears. A wood aspect. Tart and sour flavors. Esters abundant. Lively and delicious.

375 ml corked bottle. A very unclear pale amber beer with a small and quite disappearing white head. The aroma is sour, yeasty and intense, with notes of lemon, wood and sour fruits. The flavour has a light to medium sweetness and a medium to high acidity, with quite light bitterness. Very fruity and citric. Medium body, lively carbonation, dry long finish with light bitetrness. Not the most extreme lambic, but at the same time more drinkable and at the same time refined and complex.
