Pours golden / orange with a dense fluffy cloud-like head. The aroma is spicy and funky as can be with horseblanket, wild yeast, grainy and extra funk - quite crisp and enjoyable. Medium body that’s fairly creamy with a good deal of soft frothy carbonation. The flavors start very acidic with ultra tart lemon, some funky spice and a bit of wild yeast. The finish has lots of peppery spice and citrus. This was enjoyable and unique. Thumbs up to the best offering from the brewery.

SLightly hazy golden orangeish hue, with an off-white head, but leaving laces, nice tart and geen apple sourness, with barnyard, horseblanket, yeasty funkiness, hint of mustiness, wet oakiness, with a faint acidic citrus note in the aroma follows through on a mediumbodied lambic palate with some good tartness, sharp sourness, with a fruity rhubarb acidity, wild yeast mustiness, leading towards a fruity acidic dry finish.

Courtesy mgumby10. Cloudy dark straw color with a thick white head. Mild funk aromas with some sweet notes. The stank component not as upfront as some gueuzes I’ve had, but still a pleasant aroma. Taste is not aggressively sour, but still somewhat acidic, and the finish is dry and pleasant.

Pours a cloudy orange yellow, with a fairly thick, foamy white head. Smell is big acidity and sourness as expected. Alot of orange and lemons working together. The taste is huge sour, really tart and quite lip puckering. The finish actually is somewhat smooth and easy to drink. Just a great lambic from this brewery. Good stuff.

Bottled 04-05-06, Pours with an enormous head which fills most of the glass, but in time, the white, fluffy head settles to a drinkable amount over a orangy-golden color with some haze and plenty of effervescence. Head does leave a small amount the entire time with lacing that is sporatic but nice. Nose is great with a soft tart ness of lemons and overripe soured cherries, other notes of horse blanket, dusty yeast, and some wet woods; very nice. Flavor is more acidic and slightly acetic with light vinegar notes, sourness of lemon zest, and some tartness from overripe cherry pits; woody notes of oak and some wet cedar later in the flavor. Palate is moderately light, lively, and refreshing but ending quickly with a drying effect. Finishes quickly with some lemon zest, wet cedar, and a light bitterness. Only the second Gueuze I’ve had, but it’s a style that really grows on you the more you drink. The Girardin was more delicate with its soft tartnes in the taste and nose but this one carries less funk character and a more interesting nose. It’s too bad this style is note more commonly produced because it would be great for warm days or any champagne type celebration.

2005, 750ml. pours hazy golden with little fizzy white head. nose has nice oak, tart, pretty funky, vinegar and lemon. flavor is nicely balanced with moderate acidity, oak, sour and tart, and lemon. finish is smooth, crisp, and very refreshing. this is joy to drink.4.1.

12/14/07, 2005 vintage, 750ml bottle. the aroma was a bit better than the flavor. a real solid oaky and sour nose but the flavor wasnt sour enough. a slight raspberry note running through it. still a very solid gueuze, but a 4.1. it is not and probably was never worthy of it. 3.9.
