Surprisingly big head for the style, with very good retention. Cloudy straw-yellow brew.
Aroma has lots of funk, oak, and apple. Not particularly tart on the nose.
Flavor has tons of funk, with a kiss of apple on the end. The tartness comes almost entirely from the yeast. Oak is fairly subtle, but present.
Surprisingly medium-full bodied, fairly lively.
Really a very pleasant Oude Gueuze.

375 ml bottle was poured into a sniffer.
Appearance: A one finger head was poured that reduced to a thin layer. It is a pale orange color with good clarity and vision of tiny bubbles coming up through the glass.
Smell: Nice Gueze barnyard funk, grassy, skunky, green apple, herbal, biscuity, cracker, and pale malts.
Taste: Getting that grassy, skunky, barnyard funk up front. Tart, chewy, apple, and a little sweetness.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied, medium to high carbonation, tart, funky, a little chewy, and a little chewy.
Overall: It's been awhile since I've had this beer. Good to see it again and finally review it.

Pours a light gold with spritzy, billowing head. Aroma has a slight skunky barnyard notes to it. Flavour is tart, sour lemon like. Some earthy notes. Feels is dry and prickly. Great refreshing geuze

A - Pours a hazy gold with a two finger fizzy white head. The head dissapates to a lingering thin ring. Light spotty lacing.
S - Aroma is a funky skunkiness with some lemon peel and green apple skin.
T - The flavor is a mellow mix of lemon peel, green apple, white grape and funky brett. There is some white pepper in the finish.
M - Light body with medium/high carbonation. Nice crisp mouthfeel with a bone dry finish.
O - A very solid Gueuze. Nice balance between sour and funk.

First impression: wow, that's a unique beer. Also saw a best by date of 2034.
Look: Dark gold, foams like it is going out of style, long lasting white lacing.
Smell: I thought this beer was skunked when I opened the cork. Now that I poured it, it has a champagne aroma with some maltiness, light, sour fruit notes, something like a lemony honeydew perhaps?
Taste: I drank this without reading any reviews on it, so it was a bit of a surprise. Definitely get the sour from the spontaneous fermentation. Tart. Lemon notes, mellow at first though. Sweet fruits similar to the smell make themselves known. Bitter aftertaste though.
Feel: Fluffy. Bubbly. Foamy. Light. Effervescent. Totally like a dry champagne.
Overall: Surprising and good for the style! It got way better as it warmed up.

37cl bottle. Clear pale orange pour with a tall white head and visible strands of carbonation. Smells like baking soda, lemon zest, barnyard funk, rotten leaves and mould. The taste follows the same notes, with some added grapes, white wine and gooseberries. Dry, moderately sour and lightly bitter, with a medium body, high carbonation and a sour refreshing aftertaste.
