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.

37,5 cl. Pours orange. Rather big white head. Sour taste, lemon hints. Reminds of wine. Very good dry finish. Very good Oude Geuze!!

Orangish pour. White head. Aroma is fruity and a bit tart. Some light banana and spices too. Flavor is bready and a bit funky...some sweetness and very light tartness to go with a bit of a dry finish. pretty damn good!

Bottle, 37,5 cl. Wow, an orange-yellow-golden beer with many bubbles and a beautiful lacing white large head that doesn’t seemto disappear: a very attractive Oude Gueuze to drink. And totally different than the one from 3 Fonteinen. This one as a soft sour smell, with a light fruity aroma as well. The taste is also great: here you drink a very enjoyable sour beer, which however is very soft in its sourness and very well balanced. You also have the barley note in it, with a light hoppy, light bitter aftertaste. This is certainlyone of the better Oude Gueuzes I already drunk, and is evern drinkable for people who don’t like the real sour taste of a Gueuze. A very well balanced and complex beer!

(bottle) pours a hazy orange colour with a frothy white head and good lacing. lightly fruity aroma of citrus and banana, dry spices, barnyard, medium funk and light bread. flavour is the same, well-rounded but not too complex, with a light sour bready finish. light to medium body with lively carbonation.

Golden/peach colored with plentiful white carbonation. Sourness, limes and apples apparent in aroma. Slow, thin foamy legs. Bubbly sour mouthfeel. Dry, tart aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours a hazy deep orange-tinted gold with a lively white head that shows excellent retention and leaves early fine lace. Sharp aroma of sour vinegar, blue cheese, musty basement, and sour fruit. The flavours are sharp initially too, with an extremely bitter sourness that catches the back of the palate and dries the mouth out completely. Flavours are complex and include dried straw, leather, musty yeast, green wood, and sour fruit. There is a faint petroleum essence too, and after the palate recalibrates, it seems to smooth out with an overall yoghurty sweet/acid/sour character. I’m starting to get an appreciation (and fondness) for geuze!

375 ml bottle - cloudy straw gold, thing white head; funky cheese with some dirty feet but some sugary sweetness too; flavors are mild and enjoyable without the overwhelming cheese and dirty feet; texture is soft and mildly fruity

Stone Sour Fest 2009 Pours a slightly hazy gold. Nose is a tad bland, citrus, vinegar, nothing that sells the schnoz. Taste is similar, some citrus, some vinegar, mild sourness, but hardly what I would call sour.
