The beer after removing the wire basket and cork from the green 375ml green bottle sets in my glass a beclouded amber color with a voluminous creamy light tan head that lingers long, leaving a thick covering of lace to surround the glass. Nose has a distinct somewhat sweet wet moldy straw aroma, underpinned by a staunch tartness, musty, but still appealing to me; start is first a bit sweet, followed by a massive sourness, with the body light to moderate in feel. Finish has a tongue biting acidity, with the sourness clinging to the palate like Jack Benny to a dime. What a magnificent brew, one I’ve wanted to sample for many years, trust me it was certainly worth the wait.

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.
