Maybe the best gueuze there is. And I'm a lover of the kind. Drank this one in the brewery a few years ago. And they are lovers of beer themselves. They wouldn't even let me take some with me, because it was too hot. And carrying it in a bag while travelling by bus and train wouldn't do any good to it either. The aroma contains wheat, malts, yeast, oak. It's soft, sour and sweet at the same time. Goes down easily without the shapness of some lambics and geuezes.

Sep 28, 2008 750 ml bottle @ Kallion Poirotti, Helsinki. Cloudy golden color, expansive white head. Slighty sour aroma of black currant leaves. Tangy sour flavor, with notes of lemon peel. High carbonation. Pretty good gueze.

Sep 22, 2008 Yellow with a high fragmented head. Surprisingly malty aroma, breadlike with notes of grass, sugar, grapes and yeast. The sourness is only secondary. The flavours begin sweet at the tip of the tongue but quickly expand into sourness, wood and acidity. Dry and delicious! Goint deeper into the beer I experience a variety of fruit flavours, ranging from green unripe apple to lemon. (A, s.1, e. 1)

Sep 20, 2008 Bottled 37.5cl. It pours a hazy golden beer with a decent head. The nose is wonderful with hints of candy, oak and grapes. Very lightly smoky. Woody. The taste is of candy, oak and grapes. Perfectly balanced. Flowery. A nice bite showing up with the swollow. Some herbal components appear after a few sips. Good lacework. Vinous. A hint of roquefort in the finish which is rather dry. Candy, vanilla and grapes showing up too. Terribly drinkable. Complex and sublime. Thanks a lot bov for this amazing beer.

Sep 12, 2008 Updated: Sep 15, 200812.7 fl oz / 375 ml corked and caged bottle purchased at Lukas Liquors in Kansas City, Missouri. Best before 20-04-2026 very lightly imprinted on the label, not entirely sure its 2026 - this makes it ~2 years old. Opens with a very loud pop. Pour is a gorgeous hazed yellow golden with a perfectly formed two inch all white head. A few lively, very fine, carbonation bubbles are seen working their way to the top of the tulip. Aroma is quite full, spicy barnyard yeastiness, lemon citrus, sharp bleu cheese funkiness and general wet dirt. There is also a smoky pepper something going on. Taste is initially the sharp acidic sourness, very much lemons. Immediately following the citric blast is the dirt and earthiness, which is quite drying. The finish is quite lasting, and is very much focused on the wet dirt. Though I get quite a bit of black pepper spiciness. As the palate adjusts, the citrus melds quite nicely into the full package, though the beer does lose some of its sharpness. Palate is dry, with nice carbonation. Quite complex and drinkable - not a combination you find too often.
