    What does this trade for?
    I have been trying to find one for awhile with no luck.
    I know that it is not an annual release and that very few, if any (?) make it to the states for distribution, but it has been available (at least in recent past) for shipping from Belgium at a reasonable price.

    I just traded for an 06 OGV (Gave Beat b5, Upland Raspberry, BA Pt5) and 07 OGV (Gave BA Hifi b2, FW 15, and '10 BCBS). I may have gone a bit over but I'm a huge van of 3F Oude Geuze, plus both traders gave awesome extras.

    From what I've heard, the only difference between Oude Geuze and Oude Geuze Vintage is that the vintage is cellared AT 3F, so a bottle of Oude Geuze from the same year will presumably be just as good, assuming it was cellared properly. Vintage isn't a different blend.

    Comment straight from Ratebeer (I can't say this is definitive, I just have no idea why someone would fabricate this type of detail):

    They are different indeed - specially selected lambics, longer lagering etc. In fact the series started already in 1999, with the special red label with exclusive artwork. That was a kind of general repetition for the Millenium gueuze, although that one was done in collaboration with De Cam.
