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 poured an orange caramel with a small fizzy head. Aroma is very fruity and slightly sour. Flavor is bitter at first then dark ripe fruits. Tart citris finish..good stuff!! Good job looking out Wendy!

Rich golden hue topped by a lasting fizzy head and good lace. The aroma is quite tradional with a lot of funk and barnyard notes, a hint of french oak, and a touch of grape and sour apple. The taste starts twangy with minor citric notes and a drop of balsamic vinegar. Undertones of flowers and heather finishing with a dry woody tannic snap and that yeast powered chesse quality. The feel is fizzy and refreshing. Well, then many thanks to Joe for the bottle.

(on bottle) Hazy orange, very fruity nose, allmost like bnbons. Pickling fresh, loads of sourness, but the sticky sweetness stays around. Would be good for a hot afternoon or as a menu starter. Had it on a smoked bar, and that diden´t make the experience that great.

Cidery tart aroma. Huge head with a sparkling orange appearance. Sour tart mellowed grapefruit apple flavor that is far more toned down than Cantillion products. Dry sour finish.

[best before Nov. 2, 2022] Hazy, brownish amber with tons of rocky foam of largish bubbles that disappears after a couple minutes to a patchy, thick cover and diffuse lacing. Aroma is woody, black cherry; dry and a little bit sour, with a hint of horseblanket. Flavour is a bit weak, compared to the aroma: dry woody/winey white cranberry juice. Bitterness significant and does not seem to be from hops--it’s very oaky. Very light and very carbonated. Very refreshing.

Bottle. Best before 2/11/2022. Golden dark apple juice colour. Very big bubbly head. Sour apple juice aroma. Dry, sour and slightly salty. Apple flavour up front. Not a lot of other distinguishable flavours. Reminds me of a palate cleansing sorbet.

Bottled. Pours a clear orange color with a huge, frothy white head. Aroma is horse blanket and lemon. Flavor is just what I expect from a gueuze. Why is this so poorly rated? This is damn good! Nice and sour, barnyard flavors with a bit of spice. Citrus aftertaste.

Hazy orange/gold in colour and a small white head with a never say die attitude. Aroma is very tart with a funky barnyard smell as well as ctirus. The flavour has some appley flavour but the dominant flavour especially on the finish is acidic citrus.
