    I felt the 50th and MG were letdowns - a strange, overbearing mint flavor overshadows the complexity of the geuze in the 50th. The MG just wasnt as good as I remember and compared to the '99 it was underwhelming. I felt the '99 was by far the best of the trio and was significantly more interesting. A lot of the typical 3F geuze flavors in that one, and time seems to have done that vintage some favors. I'd like to try it again next to some fresher 3F vintage and maybe the A&T blend.

    I think most of us had the order at 1999, Millennium, 50th. The 50th was sorta minty, which worked for a couple of us and for others, not so much. But as Evan said, they were not a highlight. The Blabaer vertical was fun, but I think the 1959 3F Geuze was the highlight. It was two or three decades past its prime, but it was a lot of fun getting that bottle opened up and drinking it.

    The 10th Anniversary was superior to the 2003 Utopias (which is holding up great).

    Looks awesome. I haven't gotten so lucky to try Kuhnhenn. I've only been to SW Michigan and couldn't find it there.

    More decadent, tangy fudge, less carbonated. Possibly thicker but I havent had the de struise version in a while.
