Commercial Description:
Geuze is a classic among the Belgian Ales, following spontaneous fermentation in wooden barrels (no yeast or sugar added), young and old Lambic are blended; which results in a dry, tart and fruity wine like taste. Oud Beersel Geuze Ale is the white sparkling wine of the ale world.

bottle - Pours yellow with a two finger white head. The aroma is of wild yeast and tart grapes. The flavor is tart with plenty of funky wild yeast and a little fruit (white grapes?). It’s fairly light bodied and has a very dry finish. I enjoyed this one though for me it didn’t reach the level of their Kriek.

Golden color. Extreme carbonation. Thick soapy and foamy white head. Champagne like aroma. Taste is sharp and tart that surrounds the tongue with some sweet cherry-apple like fruitiness. Smooth finish.

Pale yellow of color with a small white head. An aroma of vinegar, sour, bitter apples and notes of flowers. A flavor of vinegar, oak and sour. A nice and easy gueze.

Orange with a small white head. leather, barnyard, wood aroma. Flavour is like a slightly simpler Cantillon, not exceptional, but absolutely not bad either

Poured a deep orange color with brownish hues. Thin large-bubbled head dissipates quickly. Lactic tartness present with a sweet grainy aroma. Not a ton of funk, but a decent aroma. Nice palate, not too thin or overcarbonated. Taste is dry throughout, with a tart bready start that gives way to a sharp dry sour finish. A nice finish, but I’d like a larger funk component to it. Interesting to move around the gueuze category a bit after having a few of the ones with high standing.

Bottle @ Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Great aroma of green apples and citrus. Pale hazy with a beige head. Taste mellow apple juice, not too dry. Very fancy finish.

Pale golden yellow, a bit murky, with a very large, huge bubble stark white head that lasts. Aroma is grape skins, a bit tannic, lemon as well as a slight pale malt character. Quite tart on the palate. Overarching fruitiness: white grape and lemon, citric sourness, grape skins, a bit of apple. Lacks a bit of depth, missing that zesty spice and yeasty funk components. Effervescent but not quite high levels of carbonation. Crisp, quite dry, nice but doesn’t quite make it to Cantillon or 3F heights.
