Jaune paille trouble recouverte d’une belle mousse blanche. Un bel exemple de brettanomyces offrant toutes la panoplie des senteurs de la grange. Les arômes sont très intense et rappellent celle d’un baril de chêne frais, la crème raser parfumé à la lime voir même de la lotion après rasage au melon exotique. L’acidité est parfaitement bien balancée en bouche. Quelle satisfaction que de pouvoir toucher à toutes les composantes. Une bonne manière d’être transporté à la ferme en un temps record. Zythos Beer Fest Mars 2005

Slight hazy golden color with a white head. The taste is a mild sour body with notes of straw and stables. Nice lemony sour notes on the palate. Not a bad gueuze as I expected.

Clear straw gold with slight haze, Champenoise pearling to white-transparant, for a gueuze pretty stable head. Great Brett nose, lemony & freshly baked white bread, some solvent. Refreshing tart taste with some yeasty, meaty esters - seems not only horseblanket, but horsemeat as well (out of bounds beer for British tasters). Lemon, wood, faint solvent. Very refreshing, tart, long dry-out effect. I’m flabbergasted. This is at least as good as the old De Troch gueuze. Jos can still do it, it would appear. Does he really need this tainted "Chapeau" moniker?

Bottle. Unclear straw colour with nice, lasting head. Acidic, dry, vanilla, milk and honey notes, touch of barnyard. Initially quite fizzy, softens/improves if left for a while. Quite good, easy drinking gueuze.

Bottle (Staminee deGarre): Medium slightly hazy gold with white lasting head. Leather, citrus and oak in aroma. Sweet cane sugar start with a lemon mid. Citric sour/tart finish. Very well balanced, keeps you wanting more without getting too sour. Cleansing mouthfeel. Refreshing!

Grape sugar aroma with oak and honey. Very sour and oaky. Dusty, honeyish. Lemon. Forget the Chapeau fruit beers, De Troch can really make a good geuze.

Vegtable sour nose, pale gold color, foamy head. Thin and citrusy malt body. Crisp centered sourness. A little piney too. Too young to server? Needs more support for the sourness.

Some sour apples and a champange like body. Througly sour through out, it wont disappoint any lover of the style.
