Nov 6, 2009 A golden amber gueuze with a thin white head. In aroma, pleasant lactic points, with Brett notes, light ground cherries, spot on. In mouth, a nice classy gueuze with loads of acetic acid, a bit of epsom salt, sustained sourness, some sour berries, wood, well done! On tap at Ballast Point 13 Anniv. Beer Festival , Oct. 24 2009.

Oct 26, 2009 Textbook Gueuze, big sour, funk, awesome appearance. Ballast’s 13th anny, beautiful sunny day and this beer was a perfect fit for the day. Very complex and very drinkable. Had to have a 2nd 5oz pour. Wish the Hout’s were available all the time. World class effort here. Loved all 3 Houts.

Sep 2, 2009 Stone Sour Fest 2009
Poured a slightly hazy gold color.
Nose was very fruity, orange and lemon zest, grapefruit, pineapple, and hints of funk and acid.
Taste was very bright and refreshing, lots of lemon, pineapple acidity, green grape peels, quite sour, tart from beginning to end, and finishes with a nice funk with very little vinegar heat. IMO, this one was best in show at the sour fest, a russian river label would get this beer in the top 50 for sure.

Jul 26, 2009 (Draught) Pours a cloudy golden orange body with a small white head. Aroma of mustiness, grass, grapefruit, barnyard, and lemon. Flavor of grapefruit, vinegar, and carbonated water with a thin mouthfeel and dry finish.

Jul 22, 2009 Tap @ Stone Sour Fest 2009. This was one of the big surprises of the fest for me (in a good way). Pours a hazy soft orange color with a small white ring. Lots of tart citrus with some apricot and other flesh fruits. Flavors of tart lemon peel, tangerine, and some light funk on the back end. Finish begins tart then turns very crisp and refreshing, amazing stuff!
