Black label from the 1970s

White head. Golden orange color. Well carbonated.

Starts out a bit sweet and then goes sour. Lots of lemon citrus with some acidity. Oaky. Not much horseblanket or funk with this one as the sour has taken over.

Light bodied. Nice carbonation.

Maybe a bit to sour, but a very nice bottle for how old it is.

Blend unlabeled 1989. The color just ugly, a little amber, scanned the pear compote with driers. All very cloudy, with a big rusty sediment at the bottom.
Foam virtually non-existent, all very fine, exists only in the form of a yellowish solid.
The aroma is reminiscent of semi-sweet wine, grape syrup, natural juice with red currant.
The taste, however, is simply hardcore, very sour and dry, even unripe white grapes (acidity), is a red currant, a slightly sour taste calms down, you can feel the dates and at the finish of each sip a little unpleasant, acrid, sharp pepper, pickled cucumbers. Gentian weak, light, stone fruit. Saturation high, but not having the character of sparkling. Blend with De Neve is a bit of an unidentified product to my question about the alcohol content, I was given only approximate value. Anyway, this is a beer really sour and tart with strongly marked wine, dry character, it's all very good, ideal for slow tasting. And age.

1994 vintage, cork looked nasty and had to come out in pieces but the beer survived fantastically. Great carbonation, super earthy and oaky nose. Citrus and oak, great feel.

1991 bottle.
Deep brownish color typical of a 23-year-old gueuze.
Super sour. Funky. Got a bit buttery as it warmed up.
Was still pretty well carbed.

750 mL unlabeled bottle poured into a snifter. 1991 bottle.

Appearance - Pours almost flat. Hazy orange. A few stray bubbles.

Smell - Oaky. A little funky. Citrusy. Lemony with some orange. A bit of white pepper.

Taste - Acetic. Pretty sour. Oaky. Lemony citrus. A bit of graininess. Some cardboard oxidation.

Mouthfeel - Nearly flat and extremely sour. A bit sluggish to drink.

Overall - It's old, but still tasty. Extremely sour at this point.
