Hazy orange yellow pour with a thin white head. Wood and grassy aroma with citrus and lemon. Sour and bitter. Mild but pleasant.

(75cl bottle, thanks CaptainCougar) large white head that mostly dissipates, atop hazy amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, barnyard/funk, some lime/lemon, dirty sock. Taste is medium sweet, barnyard, cheese/funk. Effervescent light-medium body, light acidity.

Nose is most reminiscent of Hanssens with lots of cheesy, funk. The flavor shows Hanssens funk, Drie Founteinen citrus rind and Boon’s sugar water. Spritzy, thin body.

Pours a transparent deep golden with a frothy, spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh grassy tartness and lemon citrus with a touch of funk. Starts with good fullness and a lot of pale malty sweetness for the style before a clean, slightly puckering citrusy finish. Full bodied and a little sweet for the style, but has nice tart balance and oaky complexity. An enjoyable gueuze.

Bottle (thanks Mes). Was excited to try it, but was a little underwhelmed. Perhaps it was the age, or perhaps the blend wasn’t right, but i fund this quite sweet, flat and a touch dull. Some effervescent sourness, and funky complexity, but not enough. Not very assertive or balanced. Drinkable though.

Sampled at the ’09 RBPTE, courtesy of MrChopin. Great funky sour nose, with barnyard and horse blanket, tons of Brett and a light hop presence. Citrusy. Light amber hazy body with a large frothy white lacing head. Medium thin body with lively carbonation and a chalky finish. Moderate bitterness with huge sour funky flavors throughout and into the after with a chalky end. Terrific gueuze.

Bottle at RBESG grand tasting. Cloudy copper lasting beige head. Lovely lambic aroma with some farm yard. Sweet in mouth. Too sweet actually. Some lemon on finish. Good aroma though.

[9/4/08] Bottle at LambikODroom in Beersel. Slightly hazy golden with a big white head. Aroma of malt, hay, citrus notes, a bit of barnyard and a bit of hops in the background. Nice sour flavor, pretty dry but has some light sweeter tones, with some fruits. Medium-bodied with an assertive carbonation
