kramer (2406), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 22, 2009 Handbottle, via puzzl @ BCTC 09. Pours a slightly murky dark gold to amber body with minimal to no head. The nose on this is just full on funk with lots of cellar cobwebs, some cheesy notes, a moderate acidity and some yeast. The flavor was equally funky and weird. Wet hay, dustiness, some moderate acidity up front that fades to a touch of a lingering dusty sugar note. Some Grannie Smith apple throughout. Mouthfeel was flat and light to medium bodied, there’s still some lingering sugars in here that keep it from being as light and refreshing as a traditional Gueuze. Big thanks again to puzzle for this one, it was certainly worth trying! BelgiskOlklub (397), Viby J, Denmark Oct 21, 2009 Clear body, looks like apple juice with a orange golden body. Yeasty aromas of earth, basement and leaves. Also aromas of apple, honey, wine, cask wood. Light body, thin texture flat/none carbonation and a long bitter finish. The flavor is light sweet, light acid and heavy bitter. plovmand (1589), Helsinge, Denmark Sep 30, 2009 Clear amber with no head. Quite fruity aroma with a light acidic touch. Flavour is grapes, citrus, acid and fruit. Bit sweet finish. Very low carbonation. Skinnyviking (4142), Copenhagen, Denmark Sep 25, 2009 Updated: Sep 29, 2009Bag-in-box. No head. Clear amber body. Mild apple honey aroma with a somewhat weak acidic note. Apple vinegar earth grapefruiyt mild flavor. Low carbonation. Long bitter aftertaste. Unfortunately I guess I had it on bottle too long. Must definately rerate it when I get the chance. marchcow (664), Coralville, Iowa, USA Sep 24, 2009 From the cask at Bier Circus in Brussels. Not carbonated, sour ciderish aromas and flavors with some citrus. Very nice, drinkable, and refreshing.
