Aug 27, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy weird off-yellow with a pillowing white head. I can smell this stuff as soon as I pop the cork. Not for the faint of heart, this beer is seriously sour. Putting my nose to the snifter is more intense than putting my nose directly to a jug of vinegar. Intensity aside, this has a fantastic array of wild, funky aromas: cheese, hay, goats, lemon, serious malt vinegar. The spritzy mouthfeel does well to compliment the tartness of the flavor. It’s no surprise when the puckering onslaught hits my palate. It moves through some layers, starting with the sharp vinegar character and moving towards a wild, tart funk. This never becomes sweet or forgiving. I don’t get much bottom end in this one. Props for its unabashed use of bacterial quality. This is one of the most aggressive of all soured beer I’ve encountered.

Aug 24, 2008 Exceptional Gueze. Golden, with a white head. Excellent lacing. Taste was SOUR, tart, fuity, and astringent. Dry aftertaste. Strong sour lemon taste, but this is well balanced by maltiness. Unbelievable complexity. I highly recommend this gueze. Fits style guidelines to a tee.

Aug 22, 2008 Clear dark gold with a fizzy white head. Good aroma is toasted wood with barnyard funk and tart wheat. Medium body and lightly carbonated. Pucker factor is medium to high from front to back. Good yeasty funk flavors with tart wheat, bready malts, with some tart lemon and dry wood. Another most worthy gueuze here.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle of non-recorded vintage. The beer was quite tart and leathery. But, for a gueuze pretty balanced. Not overly puckering. A nice carbonated palate with acid, bitterness, and acetic qualities. The beer reminded me of a Cantillon Classic Gueuze I had earlier in the week.

Jul 21, 2008 This is how a geuze is supposed to be. An aroma which is nearly bad but at the same time promising, a flavor of heaven with sour, bitter and surprising elements melting together - try this now!
