Beerlando (1258), Orlando, Florida, USA Sep 30, 2007 Cloudy, glowing orange-amber body. Small, fizzy white head that quickly disappears completely. Virtually zero lacing noted. The aroma is funky as hell, yet adequately fruity and very complex. There is an ever-present, funky barnyard overtone across the board. The funk subsides enough to reveal a bevy of fruity scents, including sour lemon, tart apple, overly ripe peach, drying dust, and even hints of sweet caramel. Flavors resemble citrus flavored rock candy, with sour lemon and tangerine being the primary components. Medium body with a smooth palate and a mouth puckering citrus finish. Not my favorite style, but this is an awesome brew. When paired with the right dish, this could make for an outstanding culinary experience.
PilsnerPeter (1394), Flushing, New York, USA Aug 25, 2008 Bottle 2006: Pours a hazy deep golden orange with a creamy off white head. The aroma is super funk with a soft malt note in the back with subtle vanilla. Amazing funkiness with leather, farmhouse, horse blanket, acetic acid, rich old oak- just classic wild fermentation. Great fluffy body. The flavor starts with a musty basement note, along with horse blanket, leading to a citric acidity, cobwebs, cork, lemon-rind, a rounded, sharp, wheaty body, and an acidic finish with a late dryness. Has a touch of sweetness on the back when it warms. A quality Lambic with great funkiness and subtlety. nick76 (2030), Tampa, Florida, USA Aug 17, 2008 The aroma is sour with tart fruit, lactic bacteria, yeast, urine, wood, and sugar. The appearance is cloudy and copper with a small head. The flavor is tangy is like the aroma. The palate is average. Overall not something I want again despite being complex and highly ranked here. Palidor19 (1276), Brandon, Florida, USA Aug 17, 2008 Gueuze is not very favorite style, however I can appreciate this beer because of the expressive flavors, and the non abrasive tartness of the beer. its pours lively with some substance, it sourness is strong tangy with the mild wood in the background. well done. jake65 (1238), Meridian, Idaho, USA Aug 16, 2008 Bottle (vintage 11.30.05): Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Still full of carbonation. Smells sweet and fruity, woody, and tart. Apples and oak. Taste is again, sweet and fruity followed by lots of tart and some woody notes. A wonderfuly smooth and puckering experience. Thanks to BuckDich for delivering this splendid gueuze. oakbluff (203), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Aug 13, 2008 Vintage 2000- bottle shared courtesy of piscator34- nice looking stuff- golden hay colour and good carbonation. Nose- wood, citrus, leather. Taste- nice citrus zing, some green apple, very dry and woody. Goes down easy.. Finish and mouthfeel is more dry than puckering. Very solid
