BMan1113VR (2757), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Nov 8, 2009 335ml Bottle. Clear glowing orange body and a decent sized, just off-white head. Aroma of light skunk, wet wood, moss, spider webs, fruit (apples and cherries). Taste...oh no, not again. A back sweetened Gueuze, crap. Why would they go and take a perfectly good lambic and add sugar to it? Some light lemon lime soda notes, apple juice. Sugar. Blah. Thin, light bubbles. Sort of papery. No more sugar for you Lindemans, you abused your use of it! MBison (548), Southern Highlands, Australia Oct 19, 2009 Bottle 375ml. Aged 18 months piror to tasting. Poured cloudy golden with a large, foamy, off-white head which was mostly lasting. Strong notes of funky wild yeast in the aroma with barnyard notes, forest floor notes, wet grain, lemon juice, lemon zest and vitamin C. Flavor was of acidic fruit with sour grain, wild yeast, moss, barnyard notes, petrified wood, tart green grape skins and cumquats. Medium bodied with medium carbonation, a dry/tart mouthfeel and a good length finish. austone (999), Turku; Pori, Finland Oct 19, 2009 25cl bottle. Dark, slightly hazy amber, small and a bit coarse pale head. Old apples on the nose, little orange, hints of funk and cellar, but still sweetened to death. Flavor is apple juice, sweeteners, very mild acidic notes and moldy cellar in the finish, along with a hint of wheat. It’s just apple juice for the most part. Almost medium bodied, slick palate. I was expecting even worse. shp555 (1678), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 14, 2009 Pours a clear copper color with a white head. Aroma is brett, funk, pineapple, and some apricot. Flavor is fruity, pineapple, and a dry tart finish. Enjoyit (1697), Vadum, Denmark Sep 29, 2009 Clear amber of color with an off white head. An aroma with coal, weak sweets and sour. A flavor of sweets, candy, sour and sweet in the finish. marchcow (664), Coralville, Iowa, USA Sep 21, 2009 Sweet gueuze. Some light barnyard and vinegar on the aroma. Malty middle with a light and sweet duration - tastes sweetened. Light alcohol. Fair. kappldav123 (1790), Markkleeberg, Germany Sep 11, 2009 The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Deep golden, small head. Starts fine sourish with nice fruity notes. Very prickly and fresh. Sweet notes from the background are increasing, so the beer doesn’t go down well. Would like it more without sugar. Hbuck72 (122), Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Sep 5, 2009 Pours a golden color with lots of fluffy white head, smells of sour wheat, some citrus notes. Taste is overpowered by the extreme sourness.
