Bottle (375ml). Shared with blankboy and tupalev - my bottle. Poured cloudy orange with an average white foamy-rocky head. Aroma - hey, it’s a real geueze, so yeast, funky, sharp, tart, echoes of cheese, old tennis shoes, wet wool, sour fruit - in other words great! Tasted like it smelled only juicier - had a thick, lively, sharp and acidic mouthfeel - no disappointment here, smooth, funky, biting and woody.

Denne er 99 udgaven. Uklar med et lille hvidt skum. Grapefrugt, stikkelsbær, eddike, dejlig sur og stikker lidt på tungen. Intet kulsyre. Dejlig og lækker.

Sample at J Gumbos Aug 2008 Indy tasting - Didn’t see the age, but was a 375ml so probably newer. Aroma is funky, horse blanket, oak and a touch of spice. I could keep my nose in there all day. Flavor starts off in the barn with hay, straw and horse followed by some sour grapes and grapefruit. Spice from the yeast shows up as well. Palate is tart and dry as well as tart and dry. Very nice stuff that I need to get a bottle for myself.

2001. pinkish hued cloudy gold with awesome lacing under a huge sudsy soapy head. black pepper, sour peach, brett, maybe even some banana notes in aroma. flavors of white grape, vinegar, acid, sour peach, brett, and a hint of the peppery spice from the aroma. nicely aged and mellowed. not sure if its the aging but i really like this one.

An easy drinking geuze, sessionable stuff. Somehow reminds me of Noilly prat which is good since I really like that stuff. Nicely sour, not rewiring your tastebuds after one bottle. Never thought I would find a beer with a vinegary nose this drinkable but we do live and learn.

Dark golden colour, small white head. Well carbonated. Aroma is earthy, smells of barnyard, leather and medicine. Flavour has sour fruits, mostly apple. Finishes bitter-dry. Not my favorite style, but I can appreciate this one.
