May 23, 2008 Updated: May 26, 2008Sampled at OSLO/Guerde’s Memorial Day tasting. Pours a semi-hazy golden amber gueuze with a fizzy white head that has nice retention and a thick white ring. Aroma of sour barnyard funk, yeast, grapefruit, wet blanket and some white pepper. Taste is spritzy tart citrus zest, yeast, a touch of grapefruit, some floral character and a touch of herbs. Finish is just as sour as its flavor with a very dry citrus and light skonk character. One of the funkiest gueuzes I’ve tried.

May 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours golden brown. A slot of sour funkiness in this one. Belgian yeast, and spoiled fruit. Nice tingling mouth cleansing mouth feel. A solid number.

May 18, 2008 Ah, the golden goddess. Aroma of band-aids soaking in something sterile and medicinal along with some woody brine. Mouthfeel is tremendous. My tongue is not worthy of this. Bracing rubber and grapefruit tang near the end of a beautifully intoxicating session on my tastebuds. Truly, this is a world classic. I liked the 3 Fonteinen, but this is way out front of that. Desert Island beer!

May 16, 2008 Pours a beautiful, glowing gold with a foamy, white head. Strong soured fruit aroma of Belgian yeast and citrus. Taste is a similar soured fruit citrus at first. This settles very smoothly into a sweet tart, bready finish. Tastes like it underwent a secondary with some champagne yeast. Nice carbonation kick. Very complex palate, especially as it warms.

May 16, 2008 Golden color with a med-large head. Aroma is tremendous - funky and sour with some nice barrel effects and citrusy goodness. Flavor was a bit heavy on the citrus at first, but settled nicely into a funky-sour masterpiece - citrus, earth, and wood. Nice mouthfeel with a good pucker factor. A really good gueuze that I need more of.

May 15, 2008 Delicious gueuze and all it’s cracked up to be. Thanks, mcbackus! Aroma was big and nice. Strong funk, barnyard floor and wet blanket. Pour was a nice bubbly orange with a pillowy 2 finger off white head. Taste was nice and mouth puckering. Strong wood, earth and funk with a hint of cheese and vinegar. Complex and absolutely delicious. Heaven in a bottle.
