375 ml Bottle. Lovely clear amber color with a medium, bubbly head, which lasted longer than expected. Aroma of citrus, lemon, a bit of barnyard, some lactic aspect, Very dry and quite sour. Creamy, lemony, but crisp and clean. Very nice. Fruitiness is subdued compared to the dusty dryness, though it got a bit more estery after the yeast was added. A bit of funk, and a long bitter finish containing a bit of lemon peel. Very straightforward gauze, dry as a bone, perfect mouthfeel, amazing with some ripe cheese and other foods. Perfectly clean and crisp.

2008 big bottle pours clear dull gold with fair layer of off white head. Great typical cheesy funky guezey goodness. Tart semi-dry finish. Exactly what I would want from this style.

A nose of wild yeast, lemon and hay. Taste is balanced, not overly sour, and contains cucumber, wood and lime. This is a good and very drinkable gueuze, but it’s not very complex. Aging maybe?

Aroma is typical gueuze, hints of grass, soil and citrus. Apperance is amber with small white head. Flavor is souer, sweet and frutiy.

Bottle 75cl. Rated this some while ago, but only wrote down the scores and not the taste/aroma or anything, rather unfortunate. Anyway I remember it to be a nice gueuze, next time I have it I’ll remember to re-rate it.

Smells sweet, citrusy and sour. Clear yellow color, very little carbonation or head. Refreshing, light and super tart. Enjoyable.

Bottle 0,75 %, recent vintage. Hazy hayish yellow with fizzy white head. Nose is funky, earthy, sour, don’t really know what, maybe some vinegar. Would propably need to re-rate for better characteristics. Flavor is sour for sure, but not citric sour and is actually quite easy to drink. There’s no vinegar qualities in flavor and mostly just earthy, a bit yeasty and surprisingly neutral, flat flavor. Think of your basic white bread with nothing on it. A bit empty, but not bad by any means. I’m curious for more.
