Commercial Description:
Geuze, a mixture of old and young Lambic. The young Lambic is added to cause a refermentation in the bottle making for a delightfully sparkling and dry beer that has been likened, in all seriousness, to Champagne.

375 ml bottle. Golden color, huge airy white head. Sour, fruity aroma. Tart flavor with lemon and blackcurrant leaves, malty background. Surprisingly light body for the ABV, high carbonation. Pretty nice for the style.

Corked 37.5cl bottle (best before year of 2028). Slightly hazy deep orange pour with a huge dense white head that reduced slowly to a very stable collar of foam that laces well. Aromas of Brettanomyces yeasts, oranges, lemons, apples and damp wood. Flavour is tart orangey citrus fruitiness with a wonderfully dry bitterish finish. Medium bodied with a lively carbonation but still very easy to drink. It is less harshly acidic and smoother than the Cantillon geuzes. An excellent lambic.

Bottle 2006-7: A slight haze to this sandy, golden ale. I find it a little brash in its sourness in the aroma. It lacks most of the delicacy I look for in a good gueuze. Over fizzy with big wood/hay flavours and a petrol dominance. Not much of a sourness to it, especially compared to the aroma. No bite here, I don’t like one bit.

Slightly cloudy, golden beer with huge white head. Overfermented fruits, bananas and sourness in the aroma. Same elements can be found in flavour, fermented fruits, strong suorness, dry and long aftertaste. Quite easy and refreshning to drink. For me this style is quite strange and sourness surprisess, still this taste better and better. Maybe I will correct the points later.

quick and sweet malty tartness that dissipates quickly. Bottle from Knightly spirits, Orlando.

05 bottle at the First CST sample #2. Pours golden, looks a bit syrupy. Aroma is also a bit sweeter with lots of funk, honey, definitely on the sweeter side. This is still a bit of a mess, so much residual sugar, quite funky though, finishing oddly bitter and tannic. Sharp fizzy soda pop carbonation.

Pours a hazy orange yellow color with thick white head. Aroma are strong, with fruity and apples and citrus. Flavors of strong sour apples, oak, and a bit smokey. A dry and acid ending, Not sweet, but a well balanced and refreshing geuze.
