    I'm looking for advice.

    I live in NW CT on the MA border, and am having a tough time finding bottles marked Geuze.

    This one is available on a pretty widespread basis and is outstanding. However it's pretty sour, so it's definitely a jump in the deep end:

    Here is another one that is (I think) available most places. It's also pretty sour, but not quite as sour as the first one, but also not quite as good (in my opinion):

    Beyond that you'll probably need input from someone in your part of the country.

    The rest of their stuff is not authentic, but Cuvee Rene from Lindeman's is probably the most widely available traditional Gueuze. Aside from what has already been mentioned, Hanssen's is pretty good and not too hard to find. Buy any Cantillon or Drie Fonteinen gueuze on sight, obviously. Others you might see are Boon and Oud Beersel.

    This BA speaks the truth. If my friends bristle at a sour, I always go back to Cuvee Rene.
