Bottle 0,375L (from Huis van de Geuze)
Pours slightly hazy, golden with a relatively large and lasting, also lacing, white head. Very dry, complex and rather delicious aroma of sour apples, citric fruits, pretty strong bretty notes of barnyard& wood and some peachy sweetness. Starts with a feeling of carbons and citrus. Continues with a fruit sweetness (peach) and apple. Lovely sourness starts to grasp the palate and flavor. More citrus, funk, raw apples and leather. Very nice palate is well-carbonated and lively ending up sticky, acidic bone-dry. Marvelous beer!

Dec 14, 2009 Pours out a yellow orange. Aroma is rich and rather sour with almost a musty smell that complements notes of sour citrus, hay and horse blanket. Rather effervescent with a nice complex and sour flavor. Slightly woody and earthy with a comfortable citrus character. The sour flavor continues in a nice finish that is a little aggressive but quite enjoyable.

Dec 12, 2009 Pours a hazy golden yellow with a billowing fizzy head.
Nose is strong of the pedio and lacto souring, lemon, and peach.
Taste is pretty puckeringly sour. Hints of fruit, lemon, green apple, not too dry either. Truly a world class lambic.

Dec 10, 2009 A: This baby is a cloudy peachish orange in color with a steay flow of bubbles almost like Champagne.
S: Lemon with a funk
T: Pucker up baby this one has kick. The most wonderful sourness of the best citrus your mind could imagine. Finishes dry, I will stop here because I can not describe this brew.
M: Perfectly carbonated yet dry, like a $100 bottle of Champagne.
D: Off the charts here, bartender give me another. This baby goes down so smooth I am yearning for more.

Dec 8, 2009 Bottle from realale.com. Pours a hazy light orange, a finger of fizzy offwhite head fades quickly to a ring. Aroma is mighty funky, like blue cheese, barnyard, hay and yeast. Some light fruits, a berrylike surness, like mountain cranberries. Flavour is tart, but not overpoweringly so. Nice, dry finish. Mouthfeel is medium to thin, sparkly and refreshing. Good stuff.

Dec 1, 2009 Bottle shared by shawnm213- thanks, Shawn! Pours a clear orange-gold, more yellow at the bottom, with a frothy white head. Aroma of sour apple, white grapes, lemon, wood, leather, and straw. Flavor of sour citrus fruits, nectar, funk- very acidic. Sharp, sour, and tart. Medium bodied, with soft, gentle carbonation, for a nice effervescent mouthfeel. Interesting beer, and maybe my lower rating is because I don’t understand this style as well. I’ll revisit this.

Nov 29, 2009 Either I got a bad bottle of this., or I am really swimming against the tide. I’ve enjoyed other lambics I’ve had, but this was terrible (maybe it’s just the gueze style I don’t like). This poured a champagne color with little head and some carbonation. Unfortunately, both the nose and taste were a rancid mixture of very sour apples and vinegar. Early on, I kept thinking maybe the sour would be followed by a sweet sensation, a la Flemish Sours, but instead, it just kept getting more sour and acidic. Ended up cleaning the drain.
