Poured a orangish red with big foamy head. Strong sourness up front. Lots of fruits and floral form a backdrop for the sour vinegar. These would include sour apple, citrus and hibiscus. Beneath the fruits is yet another layer of maltiness-wheat and pale malts. A musty yeast theme connects all these layers. This beer is either the product of thousands of years of diligence and beer knowledge or simply the beauty of throwing together local ingredients with the natural yeast in the air and crossing fingers. What ever it is, it works.

Dec 2, 2009 Ok this is a special moment. My new favourite geuze. WOW. Fascinating aroma of citrus hops; tangy lemon and a bitter orange peel. Taste is mesmerising. A very bitter dry finish product but the opening is a sensitve and bubbly smooth mix before it explodes around your taste buds. A truely remarkable beer and one I would love to have aged. This is the Gueze secret along with Girardin. WOW.

Nov 22, 2009 Bottle, 37,5 cl. Blonde, golden beer with huge white, creamy, light unstable head. Light sour and fruity smell. Taste is light sour with an enjoyable natural sweet taste on the background, making this a more mild Oude Geuze’. Although also a good ’Oude Geuze’ lacking a bit in pallet and complexity. to compete with the top of ’Oude Geuzes’. (Note: also nice when mixed with a Oude Geuze Girardin Black Label :)).

Nov 15, 2009 Amber with some green in it, small white mousse. Aroma is sharp, sour, green but very nice and dry. Taste is sour, a bit herby with some wood touches too. This beer is dry sour with a very nice vegetal bitterness in the finale.

Nov 12, 2009 Sample #28 at 1st CST, bottle dated Feb 19 2004. Pours a clear straw golden with a white frothy head. Aroma of hay, corse, less sweet, somewhat peppery funky, really nice. Flavor is tart funky, a bit yeasty, sort of soapy, still a bit of dried faded hops, earthy. Med bodied, fluffy. A must have in the cellar. My go-to Geuze.

Nov 8, 2009 Little head. Amber coloring. The aroma has the smell similar to a white wine. The flavor has an extremely tart white grape taste.

Nov 8, 2009 750 mL bottle. Lets start by saying I have no experience with this style but wanted to give it a shot. Cloudy golden green pour with a nice thick fizzy white head. Aroma of barnyard and socks. Taste is just overwhelmingly sour with that familiar barnyard funk and citrus. Dry finish. Not for me.

Nov 5, 2009 Pours a hazy amber gold with a one finger crackling white head. Wonderfully tart and acidic nose, funky barnyard character, socks, grapefruit rind and lemongrass. Flavor is tart and vinous, citrusy, nice lemongrass character, acidic, mild oak, grapefruit rind. Tart tannic mouthfeel. Nice.
