Smells almost exactly like a McDonald’s cheeseburger. A little bit of sewage works its way into the nose as well -- less than impressive, but points for being interesting. Appears brown, I think, but I’m drinking it from a white mug. White head (heh). Has a cheeseburger taste similar to the aroma. Very sweet and dry. Aftertaste is of grains or cereal. Frankly, it’s made me want a cheeseburger. (Once the initial taste recognition has worn off, I can taste some sour apples and other stuff.)

Aug 15, 2008 33CL bottle, bought at supermarket in IJmuiden. For me this beer is to sweet. To much sugar.

Aug 8, 2008 375ml bottle.
Light amber brown with an off white head. Fruity, syrupy and sour aroma. Similar flavour. Sour, syrupy plum and strawberry. Medium carbonation. Enjoyable beer.

Jul 28, 2008 Huge, very dense dirty-yellow head over copper-coloured beer, very well-carbonated visibly. Caramel(syrup), wood, Brett (horseblanket even), fruity esters (peach). Neutral, rather than sweet (or sour, God forbid); woody, plywood, slightly solvent, old hops (slightly cheesy). Brett gone to the ... - there’s some lemon flavour, unsure of itself. Syrupy maltiness, caramel underneath. Very spritzy, highly carbonated; sticky, syrupy presence, false body. An old acquaintance, still as unconvincing as ever.

Jul 5, 2008 Oh man, I avoided buying this beer for the longest time because I was pretty sure it was a waste of 4 dollars. And I was right. Pours a deep golden colour with a thin white lightly sticky head. The aroma is some weird funkiness, some metallic notes, and something very sweet. The flavour is pretty funky aswell, some bruised apple, some off sourness, and a butt load of sugar. Very syrupy mouthfeel, most likely from all the sugar. A pretty nasty beer all and all.

Jul 2, 2008 Nice clean crisp golden amber coloured body with a thinnish white head. Aroma of hay, sour grapes, wheat, honeysuckle, vinegar and a tiny bit of malt. Light-bodied; Nice sour flavour up front with a good yeastie finish coupled with the vinegar and slightly sweet flavours you’d expect. Aftertaste shows some puckering, along with musty and grassy flavours throughout. Overall, a good gueuze - sweet and sour at the same time with a modestly meaty body. I sampled this 37.5 cL ’split’ bottle purchased from Bier Tempel in Bruxelles, Belgium on 02-January-2008 sampled on my birthday 30-June-2008.
