Aroma has oak, citrus and honey. Sour, absolutely dry and oily. Oak, pineapple, citrus and hint of cherry in the flavor. Harsh yet smooth beer, complex and delicious. It’s hard to find better beers.
Re-rate: half the contents of this large bottle gushed out before I could pour. What a waste! Bought 1 year ago at the brewery. Delicious aroma of honey, mandarin and lemon. Full bodied, almost milky with oak, melon, lemon, banana even. An explosion of flavors on your tongue. Earthy, a grapefruity bitterness, sugary even, plastic. Every sip is an exploration of flavors and aroma’s. Immensely complex. A great beer, the rating is fully deserved. I will store the 5 bottles I’ve left for many more years.

Oct 6, 2008 This is the shit! From the lush sound of the cork briskly leaving the bottle to the last remainds of geast in the bottom of the glas this beer is pure pleasure.
It has the acidity and the taste explosion of a world class gueze. Not a single flavor stands out, since it’s all perfect balanced.
A jewel for lovers of gueze.

Oct 6, 2008 Pours a hazy orange with an off white head. Aroma has hints of lemons and vinegar. Highly carbonated with a light feel. Taste is slightly bitter and sour with citrus taste.

Sep 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light light orange with a small white head, lots of carbonation. Aroma of lots of tart, sour funk, sweettart candies, light banana. Aroma of nice sweet tartness. Not a lot of funk in this beer, just sour/sweet tartness. Very nice gueuze, very drinkable.

Sep 13, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of barnyard, lemon, cherry, peach, maybe some sour apple. Flavor quite tart and sour (solidly but not abrasively so), slightly but not overwhelmingly funky. Tart grapes in the finish. Enveloping tickling tartness, yet stellar drinkability at once. Great stuff.

Sep 12, 2008 Bottle. Nose is deep and invigorating. Bretty barnyard aromas complimented by cherry, lemon, and a light spiciness. Cloudy bright orange with a patchy head. Flavor is a delicious balance of fruit and funk. Peaches, lemon, grapefruit, and deep acidic notes. Palate is thick for a gueuze, which really lets the complexity show. Fantastic.
