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.

Courtesy of Nate. Pours a hazy bubbly orange golden color with a thick frothy white head. Has a spicy horse blanket smell... tons of funk, some bitey citrus notes. Lots of fruit, possibly some apple and clover honey. A little bit of sweet taste up front, but then you get hit with a wall of funky sour. Almost a savory flavor in the end. The sour turns into a dry bitterness, and stays nicely on the tongue. Very nice body.

Bottle. Thanks for sharing, Nate. Pours hazy, murky orange/yellow color with white, fizzy head. Nose is lemony citrus, honey, sourdough bread, slight apple, mild vinegar, and lots of stuff I can’t name. Just a fantastic smell. Lemony, citric acit taste with mild bready notes, woody thyme, slight savoriness. Very good. Crazy beer. Lots of flavors. I think "wow" pretty much covers it.

Thanks to Nate for sharing. Cloudy orange-ish gold with a strong, foamy, soapy white head. Incredibly funky in the nose, with citric, farmhouse, honey, jasmine, stinky cheese, brett, oak, apple and bread notes. What a perfect aroma.. I could sniff this forever!! The taste is hugely sour and acidic with some really fantastic funk. I’s like biting into a fresh lemon! Notes of orange, honey, wild yeasties, grape, herbs and pears. The finish is bone dry with a big, long, mineral-like brett aftertaste that lingers on the tongue for days. Beautiful.

From bottle. Great funky oaky nose. Lactic and light dry hops. So sour and funky; wonderful nose. I can’t stop inhaling this stuff. Vinegar and honey. Cloudy pale butterscotch amber with foamy-wispy off-white lacing head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation and acidic burn. Starts very tart with lemon and lactic acid, mild vinegar. Grainy wheat, bitter lemon peel and dry hops. Oaky notes, a bit of broth. Sour finish with acidic burn and dry powdery oaky after. Great stuff.

Pours hazy dark orange with white head. Strong funky barnyard aroma. Slightly sour, woody flavor with some citrus and earthiness. Light to medium body, average carbonation and a dry finish.

The cork popped on this beauty with very little coaxing. Pour was a hazy golden orange, with a monster foamy white head that stuck around troughout the glass. Aroma of apples and wet hay, lots of funk. Sour apple flavor, with a light, highly carbonated body. Very dry finish. Good.
