pours a lively clean apple juice colour with a very large white head with good lacing. aroma has great amounts of funk, some tart crabapple , a background of sweeter malts and hints of fresh cherry, and just light waffs of fresh flower petals. flavour is also tart with plenty of funkyness, with some drying and tart crabapple taste. finish is actually pretty smooth with a nice light malt character and some floral notes.
this is such an excellent beer.

Starts acrid sweet, a bit winy, then comes the big tart hit. Not nearly as funky as some of the other Geuze, and overall pretty bland with the exception of the solid tartness. bebop329 (27), USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 15, 2007 Delicious golden gueuze. Very tart and fruity flavor whose aroma is just as nice as the flavor. Light and bubbly mouthfeel. Wonderful dessert beer, almost like a sparkling wine. Enjoyed this with my beer snob boyfriend. mmm..mmm.mmmm. skibumphishead (180), USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jan 15, 2007 I love a good geuze and this one did not let me down. This is a little on the sweet side for the style, but the barnyard funk is there and strong. The taste is light and a little fruity. I will look for more offerings from this brewery and I recommend that everyone give this one a try. detroiter (958), Euphoria, Minnesota, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 14, 2007 Pours a lightly hazed copper-gold with a briefly tall head of white foam. Tart aroma, not as tart as some lambics or geuuze, but still plenty tart and acidic.
Interesting combination of funky flavors – hay, lemon, hard cider, a bit of white wine vinegar, and some cheese. Lively carbonation, and this may sound odd, but I found it rather smooth. Good stuff.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 30, 2006 375ml bottle. not sure of vintage. pours a slightly hazy pale color with nice head. nose is rather funky sorta the barnyard thing and sour. at first sip this beer is really sour. second sip you get more of the complexities. starts off mildly sweet just for an instant then quickly a very dry tartness. finish is extremely dry. actually not an extremely sour gueuze, but very refreshing.
