Notes: Year-round availibility. Oude Gueuze Tilquin à l’Ancienne (6.0% alc/vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer, produced from the blending of 1, 2 and 3 years old lambics. It is unfiltered and unpasteurized, and refermented in the bottle for at least 6 months. The lambics used were fermented and oak aged in our installations.

Lambics often have a tartness which can be an acquired taste. In this blended beer, where 1, 2, and 3 year old lambics are combined, not to mention the additional in-the-bottle refermentation, the tartness is smoothed to a silky sheen, for a taste just about anyone can get behind.

2017-2018, 7%.
Medium golden, foam dissipates relatively quickly.
Nose has upon first pour musty cellar notes and a fair amount of funk, but this changes to a steady but lesser amount of barnyard, a bit of citrus, and especially an inescapable impression of the aroma of white wine.
In the taste the citrus comes up front and settles on a distinct impression of grapefruit. Aftertaste combines brett with pleasant but considerable acidity. As the beer opens and warms, stone-fruit and cellar notes rise. Mouthfeel is smooth for the style.
A very good gueuze of the tart and citrusy type.

This beer pours a beautiful deep golden yellow, almost amber, slowly poured and without any head bubbling up. I’ve read that this year of Oude Gueuze was noticeably flatter than usual. I got that vibe right away from the lack of active carb or head produced from this beer straight from the bottle.
The nose has a nice initial combination of musty white grapes and tart, zesty citrus. On the back end are even tones of earth and that horse blanket aroma, with a lightly ammoniated, pungent moldy quality. Complex, funky, and wonderful.
Dry, funky, white wine and acidic fruit. Zesty flavors of sour grapefruit and lime are quickly picked out. Those organic, earthy qualities emerge nicely in the flavors, complimenting with notes of oak and barnyard hay. The gueuze style when done correctly is so complex and always tough to pick out every nuance. So good.
Tart, lightly acidic. Funky, with some noticeable tannins and a warm finish. Champagne-like in its carbonation and bone-dry finish.

Aged for a year.
Pours a completely clarified pale orange with a scant one finger of white head produced with moderately aerated pour. Some retention and good lacing. Aromas are equal parts funky, vinous, sour-fruity, floral, and sulfurous. Flavors largely follow the nose, with maybe a hint of skunkiness in the back. Tartness is not overbearing and complements the apple and raspberry flavors that are present. Tasty but not particularly complex. Clean, effervescent mouthfeel with no hop bitterness to speak of. An excellent meal-pairing beer

500 mL bottle dated 2016/2017, with a best by date of 9/2/2027. Poured into Aslin anniversary glass.
L: Deep, clear golden. Very nice. Looks like a Sauternes. Not much head upon pouring, degrades into just a thin ring.
S: So here is what I get: Yeasty, oaky, sour apple, chardonnay grape. Perhaps a touch too sour and perhaps that mellows with aging? Probably should have gotten another bottle. But this is awfully good as is.
T: Definite chardonnay notes here from the oak barrel. Green apple, slightly sour but not as much as nose would indicate. Seems a tiny bit raw despite the aging it has already had, but still a real treat here on the East Coast.
F: Light to mediumish body. Pretty lively carbonation. Very solid construction. Sour might be just a tad out of balance, but it's hard to say. Nice and crisp and pretty easy to drink.
O: Definitely looking forward to trying more of these over the future.

Poured into a Trillium glass a pretty nice clean/clear golden dark yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice one-finger creamy/foamy/fizzy white head, which leaves some sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, yeasty, lemon, nice funkyness, tart, slight oak, some spicyness. The taste is malty, yeasty, funky, nice lemon note, tart, nice touch of oak, spicy. Medium body, ABV hidden very nicely, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, my first from this brewery. Very tasty, true to style. Thanks Larry for the chance.

It pours orange with a very thin head that goes away almost instantly. The aroma is acidic and funky, with some very light lemony notes. The taste is sour and bitter with very little in terms of sweetness. It feels a bit unbalanced but the more you drink it the more you appreciate it. Medium body.

No head and no lacing.
Complex aroma, fermented, lime, apple, pear, barnyard funk.
Tastes like wine, dry and oaky, grape and oak, very dry.
Smooth, drink through body.
Unlike almost all U.S. brews, very Belgian, total Lambic. So close in aroma and taste to wine. Sour and delicious.

It pours hazy dark yellow with medium white head. Duration of foam is average, but it leaves a nice cover on top. Funky smell of brett is inviting; barnyard, vinegar, citrus and slightly woody aromas are in the nose. What a vinous, complex taste! It's fairly acidic sour with lemon, pear and touch of vanilla. Sweetness of wheat and slight bitterness of oak support the complexity of taste. Light bodied. Very fizzy on the palate. Gently puckering and dry finish. Very easy to drink for a gueuze. Very difficult to brew it, a masterpiece !

2014-15 bottling. Just couldn't wait any longer so grabbed this one and split with with the wife while picnicking post a Sunday morning mountain bike ride.
This is a slightly hazy bright orange brew that tops off with a tall and bubbly off-white froth.
Redolent of lemon zest, orange, damp hay, and yes, manure. I asked my wife to confirm the latter aroma, which she did, and then asked why I would drink somethng that smelled like manure...therefore the taste...
...involves an array of light fruits such as orange, pear, apple and white grape followed by grain, discarded fruit pith, wet wood, and faint spice. Not as tart as it is just plain damp and funky, which is just the way I like em'.
Medium with a soft middle up front but finishes unltra-dry.
A very complex and flavorful brew that isn't too high falutin' to work well on an occasion when you want something special, but you don't want to be pretentious. Or something like that.

Beautiful pour, and a lovely nose - but whether it's from the green glass bottle or from the beer itself in its natural state, this just has too much skunk and funk for me. There's also an awful lot of suspended stuff in the beer - even after a very slow, deliberate pour. Perhaps this just isn't my bag - I like sour and a little funk, but not outright skunk.

Striking golden hue, crystal clear, vibrant carbonation, thin soapy cap. Gentle, cajoling aroma - lots of traditional Belgian barnyard wafts with notes of honey, dry pear cider, apricot & tannin.
Tart & tingly upfront - perhaps a bit yeasty & chalky, finishes with bit of a vinegar bitterness, but I was bit disappointed with the lack of diversity & depth. There is a vague citrus note, some apple / pear must, hay, but it is all pretty subdued by the yeast. A little wheat pops up towards the end. It is a good beer, don't get me wrong - just a teeny bit bland compared to some of the top end guezes out there.

2011 vintage. Deep orange hue, frothy head on initial pour with somewhat sticky lacing. Fizzy. Lemon, citrus aroma with a little cider. Hints of Belgian yeast esters coming through, slight barnyard characteristics. Cider like taste, nice amount of citrus, apples and pear. Slight leathery funk is brought our especially as it warms. Mouthfeel is soft, finishes a little dry. Solid offering, was expecting a little more complexity. Preferred 3F Gueuze to this.

Gold in color with a fingernail of off white. The aroma is of pale grains, light bready notes, oats, and pale wheat. I'm tasting light sourdough to chardonnay breadiness. Pale wheat is also in the taste profile. The mouth is moderately carbonated, crisp, and refreshing.

This beer pours a brownish gold with a large fizzy head and bib bubbles. The aroma has dusty soilbarnyard, sour orange juice, and apple cider vinegar as components. The flavor is bright and semi sour, with tones of apple cider vinegar, and dusty barnyard qualities. The mouthfeel is light, tart, and boldly fizzy.

This beer pours a brownish gold with a large fizzy head and bib bubbles. The aroma has dusty soilbarnyard, sour orange juice, and apple cider vinegar as components. The flavor is bright and semi sour, with tones of apple cider vinegar, and dusty barnyard qualities. The mouthfeel is light, tart, and boldly fizzy. Overall this is an awesome beer - refreshing and bold, and utterly enjoyable.

An aggressive geueze but it works well and tastes balanced. The plums provide a great backdrop. Tastes more heavy handed than cantillon geueze, looks murky, darker than other geuezes. Deep farmhouse funk. Tartness is above average but balanced and not too aggressive in that it takes away from enjoyment. Really enjoyed this.
