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.

Bottle at Camping, Beersel 24/4/08. Pale, slightly hazy, gold with a decent white head. Lemon, pear and barnyard aromas. Flavour of lemon, pears and spice with a long, astringent tart finish. Very good and at 2.25 Euros a bargain.

Half-hazy orange, medium white head. Arom aof pineapple, apple, cinnamon. Taste very balanced, a bit subtle. The finish is long but gest a bit too disturbed for me by it’s grapefruit flavour. I don’t like grapefruit.

Skunky fruit cocktail aroma with pears, cherries, peaches, and vinegar. Mild DMS. Cloudy golden pour with a thick white head and steady streams of carbonation. Battery acid sour vinegar and lemon. This is my first gueuze rating. I’m beginning to like sour beers, but this had nothing else to offer and seemed a little off.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a bubbly one finger white head. Aroma is vinegar, must, spices, and a hint of fruit. Taste is very dry and tart, notes of citrus, spices, and vinegar dancing around in the flavor of this beer. Mouthfeel is clean, tart, and has almost a refreshing characteristic to it. A very nice lambic that I will enjoy again.

06/04 0.375 l bottle at Hopdevil, Zagreb, brewing season 2004-2005. Poured slightly murky golden body with medium head. Sourish fruits aroma with grassy and other spices like cloves, cinnamon, or even wood. Nice sour flavor, citrus and green apples, bit winey, not too much, I like such a real, strong and classic gueuze character. Quite full bodied, fizzy carbonated makes finish sharp, sourish and dry, but long and pleasant, pretty much digging out the best from the flavor. Great are those two lambics I’ve tried these days, although different a lot, so I couldn’t say which was better, but probably this one.

(3/2/08) Bottle sample at Zythos Bier Festival 2008 in Sint Niklaas. Cloudy orange. Nice barnyard, oak and citrus aroma. Great sour citrusy, very dry flavor. Some bitterness in the finish. Medium-bodied.
