| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Oct 10, 2007 25.4oz bottle-pours a thin white head and yellow color. Aroma is first grassy, then overwhelming moldy cheese, barnyard-I smell the cows, then Joe read the label! After warming: grassy, overwhelming moldy cheese, barnyard, light fruit, yeast. Taste is citric acid-lemon, green apple, then tart/sour and sweet, vinegar. Vinegar overrides all else. Probably a great beer to some tastes, not mine. Thanks jwc215 for sharing.

Complex aroma of fruit, earth, and cheese like notes. Complex flavor dominated by the sour base with features of aged cheese, broken earth, mustiness and fruit. Finishes sour but rather crisp with a pleasant mustiness (?) somehow. Carlus12 (361), London, Greater London, England

Aroma is sour fruits / earthy. Taste is sour / refreshing with a peppery bitterish dry finish. A very funky beer, but enjoyable and refreshing is small doses. downender (2587), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 2, 2007 Bottle (labeled "Classic Gueuze"). Pours a golden yellow with white head. The aroma is very acidic and sour, and it hits me before I try to smell it at all; some zest and bleu cheese are in there, too. At first sip it is bracingly sour. Sharp lemon, bleu cheese, and lactic acid explode on my tongue. It softens after a few sips, and honey and lightly floral notes emerge. Pleasantly dry finish leaves a lingering, fruity sourness.
