| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 6, 2009 Deep golden color with a bit of orange, relatively lots of bubbles. Aroma: Tart, lemon, funk. Not as dry as some, and rather low lacticity. Very sour flavor, with fruity sweetness underlying and just a touch of caramel. A bit creamy and dusty. Nicely balanced and very drinkable. Quite a bit of bitter dryness in the finish. Rather well carbonated. Very nice, while not as interesting as some, but excellently done.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 30, 2009 Served from a bottle from OTM. The appearance is a deep gold with a small white head. The aromas are dry tart wood tones and stale wet towel. Flavors of barnyard funk, real nice wood barrel notes, some musty perfume, and some brut champagne to it. The mouth is well carbonated almost to a champagne level. A solid geuze. saxo (3680), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 29, 2009 Bottle. Nice frothy head with short duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are cheese, vinegar, lactose and citrus. Quite smooth finish and not as astringent as other gueze’s might be. Angeloregon (2036), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 27, 2009 Bottle enjoyed at Beer Mongers in Portland, Oregon. Tart, sharp and all the sourness we’d hoped for. Dry, puckering flavors emerged from this golden-copper bodied hazy beer. Very nice fruity complexities with some tingly snap.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 30, 2009 Chardonnay like in its sour grape beginning, with a lovely tartness that intensifies as it warms and loses some of its effervescence. Very dry with essence of lemon. fata2683 (932), Panama City, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 29, 2009 bottle, pours a deep gold with a tall white head. Aroma is sour apple, vinegar, and white grapes. Sour peach and apple with bitter lemon peel and wild yeast finishing dry and very tart. Carbonation is high and the mouth is very crisp bordering champagne. Nice geuze. andersand (392), Malmö, Sweden
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 29, 2009 Clear golden with a rather big fluffy white head. Aroma is horsey and citric with some rather nice funk and cheese notes. Flavour is clean, way too clean and straight forward. Mildly acidic with notes of lemon, lightly bretty but overall very clean with very little barnyard funk. Fizzy lively body which makes for a perfect refresher, simple dry finish.
