| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 17, 2008 Bottle. Sweet-sour musty hay/barnyard malt aroma. Clear amber with large white head. Sweet musty hay flavor. Fairly weak. Pretty average for a sweetened (nontraditional) gueuze. JK (2949), Richfield, Minnesota, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 26, 2008 Brought home from Belgium and aged for an additional year. Pretty weak for a lambic. Some barnyard and very light sourness, much more like a faro than a gueuze. Amber color and loads of sediment in large brown chunks. Some sugar and yeast.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 21, 2008 A Mes rate: Draught at Lowlander. Mid brown with a slim white head. Pleasant enough aroma. A nice light sourness, reasonable hoppy notes and a faro like candy sugar sweetness. Flavour is all big tangy sugar and very artificial. Sweet bready finish that is surprisingly dry considering. At best, a tolerable commercial gooz. Slacks (484), Bolton, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 20, 2008 375ml Bottle: Pours a clear, pale orange colour, good sized white head that reduced to a thin layer until it was done. A sour aroma, apple and pear cider, white wine, peppery spice. Lots of fruity apple and pear in the flavour, obviously sour, but with significant sugar content. Unlike any gueuze I’ve had, not that I’m an expert, but reminds me of what would happen if you poured apple juice and pear cider into a gueuze. Average. gnoff (3568), Göteborg, Sweden
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 19, 2008 (37.5 cl bottle at Café 3 Små Rum, Göteborg) BB 08-2008. On April 18, 2008. Clear pale golden color, big white head. Acidic, apple, nutty scent. Sweet, lactic, slight acidic taste. Smooth mouthfeel, low bitterness. Apple and apricot sweet aftertaste. Taste more like a Faro than a Lambic - gueuze to me.
