Tried on-tap at the Courthouse in North Melbourne, during GBW 2013's ACT Pint of Origin.
Pours a very light, yellow-lemon colour, solidly hazed but with a very light, moveable body. Head is a floaty, ephemeral ring of white that leaves some mild lacing. Soft carbonation forms when the glass is tilted. Looks good.
Soft lambic characters on the nose. Some herbal tones, a little plastic and some vegetative bite like green tomatoes. There's a slight sour fruitiness to it, but not really a suggestion of more acidity than that. Still. It's very good.
Light entry with lemon saline providing a spritzy buoyancy. Mid-palate drags in some vegetative and herbal notes. Lemon characters form into a more definite lemon myrtle note, and a thin acidity provides a touch of sharpness. The back finishes with some more earthy tones and a plasticky-gueuze afterpalate. Lovely.
Feel is smooth and light with just a touch of crispness from the acid. Aftertaste is clean with no harshness, and not too much of the residual funk.
Overall. I love it. It's the closest I've seen an Aussie brewer get to replicating the characters of a classic gueuze—it may not have the puckering acidity of something like Cantillon, but the funk, the flavours and the balance are all really well done. Overall, I'm extremely impressed.
