| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 9, 2006 Bottle: Golden, slightly dirty and cloudy, large white frothy head, fairly nice lacing, very strong carbonation. Tart floral nose, wheaty, smells fantastic. Moderately tart up front, quite dry, long lingering wheaty sourness, woody. Fairly clean, slight citrus sweetness on the exit that includes a little bit of rind, remains fairly woody. Big in body, nice airy/bubbley mouthfeel. Very enjoyable.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 4, 2006 Clear effervescent gold with a large white head. Sour apples, cider like aroma. Strong tart fruity flavour, nicely sour with noticable alcohol in the finish. Some background barnyardyness. Champagne like, but of course much better. Very good.

Not sure of the vintage, but definitely an old bottle, likely by several years. Poured an effervescent golden with a white head. Tart farmhouse aroma. Taste is horse blanket and lots of dry toffee; not a whole lot of sourness to this one. Definite dusty character as well. Very drinkable lambic. harrisoni (6871), Ashford, Kent, England
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 31, 2005 375ml bottle from Pitfield Beer Shop. Hazy gold colour with thin white head. Sourness is evident with lemon and grapefruit and a bit farmyardy. Some nice citric hop. Alcohol gives the sourness balance in mouth, but doesn’t suffer from any burn. Finish has some sourness and dryness. Good lemon and grapefruit finish. Enjoyable Magicdave6 (5558), London, Greater London, England

Aroma is totally wild, White grapes, baby sick, onions maybe? Taste has the same white grapes with a well balanced sourness, not overpowering. Very refreshing beer. RERATING: Noticeably fuller than the oude geuze when having them head to head, and maybe even some alcohol as it warms in the finish. But alround an increadibly complex and amazing beer. RERATE: Gettin better everytime. A gueuze that makes me all silly and stupid. onystrom (800), Århus-Randers Crew, Denmark

Ofcourse it tastes of sour milk in the good way.

Aroma is musty with a hint of pear. The flavour is less sharp than expected, although "round" would be stretching it. Tastes of cider, yeast, muck and buttermilk (which is better than it sounds). Easy-drinking for a geuze, but a bit fizzy. Might’ve been too cold.
