Verre de 4 oz, d’une bouteille au Mondial 08. Arômes acides d’un lambic avec la pomme verte en évidence. Robe abricot voilée, fine effervescence. Plutôt acide en bouche, on note des touches de cidre, de pommes vertes et d’abricot. Finale très sèche et acide. Une gueuze intense et désaltérante.

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.

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.

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.

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

Tastes like lime, lemon, and grapefruit juice all romed into one dry, funky concoction. Sour and acidic but still very enjoyable and drinkable. Lively carbonation gives this a light and refreshing mouth feel. Too bad it’s so expensive where I live, but I’ll buy it again.
