Although it’s a bit Champale-like in taste, body and appearance, it’s still a refreshing change from the usual beer. It’s just not up to snuff: it’s too thin, too sweet and too simplistic. Loses points for the metallic notes.

Tasted in Toronto. Obtained from LCBO. Tasted in Corsendonk flute. Appearance is amber/yellow, clear with a sustained head. Aroma is on the sweeter side, not cidery or acidic as I would expect with a Gueuze. Flavour is a bit off balance with fairly intense sweetness considering the style.

375ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours a translucent amber with a small white head. Aroma: Weird, rotten funk, dry hops, and something else that’s pretty bizarre that I can’t quite put my finger on, dull kind of synthetic, paint like. Flavour: All of those weird elements above, VERY sweet, sour, a little berry, toffeeish malts. Creamy mouth-feel. It’s not totally nauseating, but I don’t know. It’s pretty borderline sickly sweet. Every time I take a sip I have this weird gagging-like reaction and stick my tongue out (I honestly can’t help doing it). Rotten apple aftertaste? Wow, what an experience, too bad it wasn’t an all together pleasant one. I can’t finish this. This beer is kind of like a car crash.

Golden with a tiny white head. Sour with vinous tones. Friuty with a dry finish. Medium to light body.

Shared with Pyrozoid. Clear orange/amber poor with a tiny off-white head. Aromas of oranges, sour apples, pine resin, lemon juice and rhubarb. Sweet unexpected for a gueuze... and unexpected after listing the aromas. The acid mouthfeel hits you right off the bat but very quickly switches to a longlasting sweetness and a very faint bitter palate. Acid fruits completes the flavors... but again... slightly to sweet. Good tasting beer but very far from its actual style.

Draft @ Capones: Poured a cloudy golden yellow with a white head. The aroma was apples, bread, yeast and tart. The flavor was mostly sour apple and wheat. Overall, very average

Bouteille 375ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur orange et légèrement voilée. Nez de levures sauvages fruitées et sûres (pommes légèrement cidreuses, poires, moyen d’agrumes, léger d’ananas et de raisins blancs aux notes vineuses, notes de mangues), légèrement épicé (poivre) et malté de pain avec des notes de sucre bonbon ainsi que des traces de fromage vieilli. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement bas et une texture crémeuse et légèrement aqueuse. Goût de levures fruitées, sauvages, moyennement acides et légèrement sûres (pommes sucrées et cidreuses, léger de raisins blancs vineux, notes d’ananas et d’agrumes, traces de mangues et de poires lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de pain, moyen de sucre blanc et avec des traces de céréales puis en finale une moyenne aigreur de levures fruitées (pelures de pommes et moût de raisins blancs) et légèrement épicées (poivre très doux) vient prendre le dessus accompagné de petites notes herbeuses asséchantes. Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, moyen-léger aigre de levures fruitées (pelures de pommes, moût de raisins blancs, zest d’agrumes) avec un goût sucré toujours présent.
