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.

Pours a rosey gold with an gigantic pour white head. Aroma is tart fruit, yeast funk, sweet vinegar, and barn. Flavor is tart lemons, sweet lettuce, cheese, acid, strawberries, and drying pepper. Mouthfeel is very dry and carbonated...this is not as good as the girardin, but it is damn good.

Bottle. Hazy yellow, tons of carbonation. Huge white head. Sour, musty hay nose. Flavor is tart, gets you that little buzz in the very back of your jawbone. Slightly citrusy and acidic. Dry, dry finish. Really liked this one.

Me drinking a Gueuze. I like these now after hating the first few. Sour and salivary gland activating. Very musty and sour with the flavor of straw and grapefruit.Sounds strange but tastes good.

Aroma is grassy, sour and dry. Taste is complex, a light sweetness to start with goes to lemony sourness, then turns juicey but a dry finish. An excellent excellent beer. " Lamp punching good!" due to my smahing of GarethYoungs lamp while drinking the beer.

Thanks to Immy! Poured a faint orange with big foamy white head. Lots of carbonation. Sour nose, earthy with some barnyard smells. Sour, acidic and dry flavor. Only had a couple of these, but really liked this one.

A lambic for 4 dollars? Sure why not. Pours out orange colored with a thick white head. Smells woody, fruity, sour, sweet, marvelous. Taste is very similar with a nice tart up front and a sweet long lasting end. This is a gueuze done right, probably the best in the style I have had. A pleasure to drink, and my glass was empty far too soon.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry & Dave B. -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a hazy golden-orange with an average size somewhat-lasting white head. Great aroma of white wine, funky cheese, some sourness, fruit and more -- nice and complex. Flavour’s a bit of a letdown, for the most part it follows the aroma but it’s a little watery and not as flavourful as I expected -- still pretty good though. If you’re looking for a very compex tasting geuze you may want to look elsewhere but if you want a nice easy to drink, almost "session" geuze, then this will do just fine.
