Oct 30, 2009 (375 ml bottle from Global Beverage) Pours hazy gold-yellow-amber with about a finger of off-white head. Tart, sharp aroma of sour peach and apricot. Mouthfeel soft, lightly stinging, fairly smooth but finely prickly and a bit dryish. Fine, light webby rings of lacing. Flavor of sour and tart peach, apricot and citrus. Has a light woody quality as well although I don’t know that this spent anytime on wood. Nice lambic.

Oct 24, 2009 Bottle. Clear golden with a steady white head. Acid, fruit, citrus and barnyard in aroma. The flavour is citric, sour acidic, sweet fruity and very dry. Very delicious.

Oct 14, 2009 (on bottle) Dark yellow, small white head. Great sent here; true mould and tart grape, as in Grappa. Rounded malts, with that sour zing of yeast being totally untamed. The beers carbonation is perfect and leaves a last, almost vinegarlike finish, right on the spot.

Oct 14, 2009 375 ml bottle. A hazy dark golden beer with a rich and mostly diminishing white head. The aroma is funky and yeasty with notes of lemon, citric fruits, barnyard, cheese, earth and wood. Extremely complex and enjoyable aroma. The flavoutr is lightly to moderately sweet, heavily acidic, lightly bitter. An almost vinous character is detectable. Medium body, lively carbonation, quite long finish with light bitterness. Fantastic, probably my favourite gueuze so far.

Oct 5, 2009 375 mL bottle at Monk’s on 10/4/09. Pours a clear dark golden with a little white head. Aroma dominated by lemon and grapefruit. Solid sour tartness, but not to the point of puckering the cheeks. Pretty decent gueze, especially given the price.

Oct 2, 2009 375ml bottle. Hazy yellowly color with just a crown of lace around the edges, lacking in carbonation. Super funky barnyard smell combined with burnt rubber. Makes normal people cringe and recoil (I had my friend smell it who doesn’t like beer like this and his nose crinkled in confusion and horror). The taste is that of barnyard hay, burnt rubber, old gym socks and subtle citrus crisp. The finish is a super funky lingering taste that makes me feel like I ate a stink bomb...I love it. As the beer warms up I taste granny smith apples. More carbonation would make it just that much better.

Sep 26, 2009 37,5 cl bottle. Pours dark golden. Big white head. Lemon flavor, allthough little bit to sharp for me. This was my second Oude Geuze, i prefer the Girardin Oude Geuze White label. But still, nice beer!

Sep 20, 2009 ’04 Bottle from the First Annual Chicago Sour Tasting, thanks to Andrew. Golden pour with creamy off white head. Great aroma of wood, white grape, mild barn yard funk. Bright sharp tartness leads off the flavor, followed by gentle woodiness, nice tannins. Nice dry finish. Very delicious.
