| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | 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. JB175 (1664), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | 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. LinusStick (1852), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | 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. Vas19 (299), Maryland, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 13, 2008 Don’t have pets so the "cat pee smell" I can’t truly associate with. This beer is a hazy gold with a small white ring of a head. Aroma is extremely sour with hints of grapefruit and oak. Taste is extremely puckering...you can feel it in the jaw and throat. Interesting but I probably wouldn’t purchase again...especially at the $$$. Skeegle (499), Maryland, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 13, 2008 Updated: May 29, 2008I fail to understand the true appeal of the lambic. These beers are so incredibly expensive and heavily aged--lets get some barley wines with 2 years of age on them by default.
This one was very sweet and intensely, brutally, overwhelmingly acidic. Exactly like drinking Sprite with vinegar. Much grapiness in the flavors also, like sour cherry champagne that is foot-in-mouth bitter. I really like this beer however, and since Impy Stout and Barley Wine are the only styles I judge by style and not flavor, I will have to reluctantly rate this very high. chimplechamp (465), Oslo, Norway
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 12, 2008 bottle thanks to tom- pours cloudy real cloudy, amber,big creamy, white offwhite head,nose isnt as big as some of the other gueze ive had, tastes sour strawberry, sour cherry, lemon rind, complex but i think maybe a bit too sour for my taste to have on it’s own.
