Jul 15, 2008 2007 Bottle. Some beer leaked around the cork and rusted the cap. Hazy orange body under a small foamy white head. Sweat, fermented apple, and tart acidic/lactic acid. The flavor trends towards the bitter/funky grapefruit rind end of the lambic spectrum. Notably bitter, perhaps the most "hoppy" of any gueuze I’ve tried. Finishes with more bitter grapefruit. I don’t detect much in the way of cognac but this is still a pretty good gueuze.

Jul 15, 2008 750 via GAManiac. I’ve had one in the cellar for a while but thought tonight might be a nice night to break this out and chill out some with a yummy gueze. Pours a very nice orange with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is sour and tart with all kinds of Guezey funk. Right now its probably too cold but for the second pour i’m sure it’ll warm up well. Taste is sour and full of funk, definetly some citrus in here some lemon and other fruit. Tons of oak and the cognac is here too. I love this brewery and they never ever dissapoint.

Pours hazy yellow with a small, staying, white, creamy head. Impressive looks for a lambic. Aroma is tart, some oak, lemons, citric acid, overripe apples. Medium carbonation, easily drinkable. Pleasant flavour, good tartness, citric, apples, oak and subdued notes of caramel. Wonderful.
