    Saw it at a specialty bottle shop in my area. Is this around average price for it? Is it worth 25??

    I'd be happy to drop $25 on it if it was available in my area.

    I'm guessing this is for the 375 mL ? Pretty expensive price per oz, but it's really a fantastic beer. I'd recommend it (at that price, even) to someone who hasn't had it before. If it was available near me, I'd drop that money for it probably a few times a year still.

    I get them for $27, and yes they are worth it.

    If you haven't had it, it's worth the price to try. After that, you'll know exactly what it's worth to you.

    Around 10€ (~13$) in Europe so, I guess that you cannot find for much less than 25$ in US. In any case, if you like Lambic beers, you gonna love this one. One of the best Gueuzes that I've ever had...

    It's like spending $142 on a 6 pack. Not bad...

    I picked this beer blind as my favorite above regular 3F Oude Gueuze, Cantillon Classic, etc. It was worth every penny I spent on it and would gladly buy it again should the opportunity arise.

    Have no idea if that is average price since I've never seen it in any bottle shop in any of the four states that I visit periodically. Would I spend $25 at least once on it. In a heartbeat, and I'd probably buy at least two.

    I get them for $27 as well. Amazing Gueze, you should definitely try it at least once. Luckily my shop always has plenty of bottles. A few for me... A few for trading :slight_smile:

    Without reservation, yes. This beer blows regular 3F Oude Geuze out of the bottle.

    It's a great beer, but it's not worth $27. I think I bought mine for around $18 shipped from Europe. If it was around $15 on the shelf in the US, I'd probably buy it with some consistency. 3F Oude Geuze is not far off in flavor and around $9 shipped from Europe. I'd take 3 Oude Geuze before 1 Golden Blend any day of the week.

    Cost per oz it is expensive, but it is a pretty expensive beer to make. Geueze is possibly the most expensive non-fruit beer you can make, seeing as by def'n it is a blend of 1,2,3 and in this beers case 4 year old lambic beer. There are many over priced beers on the market, this is not one of them. Its a decent price at $25, where I am it is a steal at $18. Just my two cents...

    If you love gueuzes, then yes, it probably is worth it to try once. I've had it a couple times but I don't see buying it again due to the price point.

    I love gueuze but IMO the golden blend is not worth the ludicrously high price tag, especially when I can pick up 750 Cantillon gueuzes for less.

    I've never been able to pull the trigger on this one.
