Dec 11, 2009 Bottled 09/04/2005. Honey orange pour with a fine looking white head and some nice visible carbonation. Aroma becomes more pronounced as the beer warms. Vinegar, champagne, leather, blue cheese, a hint of vegetable. Flavor is probably the closest to champagne of any beer I’ve tasted. The bitterness is very prominent, but hits the tongue differently than many sours. Rather than a sharp, clean bitterness, this beer presents something a little broader, and more rounded. Interesting. White grapes. vinegar, pretty acidic. Palate is relatively light with very lively carbonation, making for a refreshing brew. Very good sour, but maybe not quite as good as I was hoping.

Dec 8, 2009 Bottle. Dated 09/04/2005. Pours a hazy deep honey colour with a huge slighlty off white head. Aromas are quite tart with plenty of lemony acidity and barn yard funk. Initially flavours are slightly sweet followed by plenty of vinegar acidity. Some citric flavours and some horse blanket funk. Great beer.

Nov 14, 2009 21st May 2008. Nice Geuze for me (a non sour lover). Not too sharp or dry but not much fruit either. A Pleasant puckerer! Goes down very easily with a lip smack at the end!

Nov 12, 2009 Sample #27 at 1st CST, thanks to ?, bottled dated 3.7.03. Sampled just after the 04 regular 3F oude geuze, aroma is a bit of a mess comparatively, sweet and sugary, some caramel, funky, corse, nostril stinging. Flavor is pool water, fizzy, some acidity, lightly sweet, oddly abrasive. Fizzy frothy fluffy mouthful, sugary feeling. Surely not the best bottle.

Oct 27, 2009 Oude geuze 3f vintage 2005
Bottle @ brasserie420
Wonderful cork-pop, good carbonation!
Incredible complex nose, everything ranging from dust to honey, green apples, grapefruit. Really the copy of the scent of the 3F cellars.
The taste is just great. Honey, apple juice. Not acetic at all. Clean, crisp and mineral. So elegant!! The acidity is perfect, not overdone, just perfectly balanced with the hops. Great!
