Pours clear blonde, meidum sized white head of low stability. Scent is brett, oak, not very geuze-forward to me, also not AmLam style per se (yes I know this isn't american) , more like one of those heavy brett-forward, yet usually very pleasant, geuze imitations you also find in the US, or other countries outside of Belgium. Looks like this might be an enjoyable... lets call it 'brett-euze' ?
Taste showcases a refined acidity, to the level that is indeed very lambic / geuze like, not over the top, and fairly complex. Citrussy, very bright, woody, brett-forward but not one sided at all. High carbo and dry mouthfeel. Yesyesyes, this is the path to follow! A bit harsh in the throat in terms of acidity, nothing truly unacceptable, but when comparing to geuze, you're opening yourself up to be critisized on the details. I very much agree with the way they described it themselves, a geuze-style beer (aka not a geuze, but inspired on one) . Also I do get the citrussy notes ( lemon and grapefruit, they say - coudln't agree more). A very respecfull, and respectable, '4 year spontaneous blend' . Enjoyable to drink, interesting to taste !
