Apr 6, 2008 Bottle shared at tasting courtesy of Dewbrewer, I believe. Thank you!
Pours orangish colored with a wispy white head. Smell is lighty funky sour barnyard. Taste is balanced sweet and sourness. Begins very lightly sweet and then finishes tart and dry. Bubbly, fizzy active carbonation and a nice moutfeel that I haven’t gotten in some guezes. This was really nice and easily one of my favorites of the style

Apr 3, 2008 Aroma: Funky, barnyardy, musty and woody scents just jump out of the glass. Fruitiness and straw notes are also present, offset by a little vinegar note. Awesome.
Appearance: Clear, light gold, with long standing white head.
Flavor: Mirrors aroma, just as complex, you pull different flavor components out with every sip. Absolutely unbelievable.
Palate: Bone-dry, with an almost salty finish. Mouth-puckering as it should be, with some tannins adding to this.
Overall: Absolute perfection. One of the best beers I’ve had, crazy complex and world class.

Apr 1, 2008 (3/2/08) Bottle sample at Zythos Bier Festival 2008 in Sint Niklaas. 2005 bottle. Cloudy golden color. Great barnyard and citrus aroma. Nice sour, rather soft yet not too soft flavor, with some wood. Some bitterness and notes of citrus (grapefruit and some lemon) in the finish. Medium-bodied. Great and with very high drinkability.

Mar 29, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours a wonderful, pale orange with a small white film head. Aroma is tart, lots of sourish apple, some caramel, barnyard and funkiness. Low to medium carbonation. Exceptionally rounded flavour! Lots of sour apples, not as dry as other gueuzes, very fruity and champagne-like.

Mar 25, 2008 Cask at the White Horse with tashi. Hazy orange, typical gueuze appearance. Wonderfully dry aroma of tart apples and a slight cheesiness. Very enticing. Flavourwise, less dry, more sweet and the sourness is not overdone. It’s tart but not excessively so. tashi described it as "a good beginner’s gueuze" and I’d agree with that.
