Jul 3, 2005 At the Ambiance Magazine Gueuze tasting (De Heeren van Liedekerke) in Denderleew. Very nice warm yellow color with copperish glow and with small white head. Expressive aroma’s of sour apples and the crispyness of an New Zealand Savignon blanc like Cloudy Bay. Touches of green aspargues, agrum, undried tobacco plant, Greek Yoghurt, nutmeg and barnyard accents. The taste is sour with some roundings. It has accents of Peache-pit, cinnamon, cardamon, fresh mint, grapefruit-zest, unripe green prunes, apples and wood. Also a honeyed touch but very very dry.

Jun 29, 2005 My bottle’s label is different than the pic. It also says Kriek on it. Vintage 2002. Damn this is sour. Made my eyes twitch. Funky dirty wet dog taste towards the end. If this one gets almost a perfect score, I don’t know if Geuze is for me. I finished it but it was tough.

Jun 22, 2005 Apricot, peach, rubber, fresh cut saplings, and sweet minty, herbal hay-like aroma with some horse-blanket and barnyard characteristics. Opaque orange-tan with low but lasting cover of bright white head that leaves some patchwork lacing as it recedes. Barnyard, rubber, dust, musty citrus fruit, fresh wood flavours - not sure of the bottle date but this seems somehow young. Sweetness balances the funk wonderfully. Very drinkable medium body with fair carbonation that is very soft bubbled in texture. Bottle enjoyed with MartinT, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere for Martin’s ’Bachelor Party’!

Jun 21, 2005 The Lure:
Funky haystacks harbor fallen apples and a distinctive barnyard signature. A few sweating horses have gone through recently. How authentic is that!
The Festivities:
Cobwebs link the apple sweetness and citrusy exuberance. Funk jives in the background along with some quirky detached sugar. Just an excellent, easy-drinking gueuze.
Transcendence:
A visit to the countryside is my petrol of the mind.

Jun 20, 2005 Couleur orangée pale et brouillée parsemé d’une belle mousse blanche concassée d’abondance raisonnable. Intéressants arômes passablement poussiéreux invoquant aussi les melons exotiques, les ananas et le bois humide. Acidité bien présente mais à caractère modéré en bouche, long étalement se terminant sur une touche de plastique brûlé. Semble encore jeune mais plutôt prometteur.

May 15, 2005 Pours deep darker gold with a lasting medium white head. Brilliant funky aroma, old cheese, smelly socks, rotting fruit and fresh squeezed oranges. Brilliantly fruity flavour, loads of lemon and orange, with some apple notes too. Finish is citric tart, but not sour. Very refreshing and tasty gueuze.
