Oude Gueuze is een traditionele Belgische stijl die uitsluitend is gemaakt van Lambische bieren, spontane fermentatie van de Zenne-vallei, ook wel bekend als “Brussels Champagne”. Dit bier heet 4B omdat het een mix is van 4 bieren uit 4 verschillende bieren gemaakt door Gunther Bensch tussen Barcelona en Brussel.

I bought a bottle at Hopduvel Gent and acquired another in a trade. Opened with 77Ships and others in Gent, Belgium. Bottle was pretty cloudy.
A - Very cloudy (mostly due to be transported) with a bright yellow creamy 2 finger head that faded to some stickies.
S - The nose is really nice! Lots of lemon,lime. Very grape forward with a nice dryness. smells really really good!
T - Okay, so the taste falls short. It starts really nice and then you get a sweet candy like taste in the middle. finish goes back to basics with a nice dry finish with a touch of port wine. I think currently, this beer is too sweet for me with maybe candy and jolly rancher sour.
M - Decent mouthfeel. Champagne like
O - I’d like to see if this fades so I’ll grab some bottles to keep for a few years. Good gueuze out of the gate and can get way better with time.
Updated - 11-10-2018: This beer has gained more lemon flavors, more hay, is far dryer now. I'm bumping the rating up from 3.5 to 4.0.

14/XI/14 - 75cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ Sanne's birthday tasting (Gent) - BB: n/a, bottle #2581/2700 (2014-1326) Thanks to AdamJackson for sharing the bottle!
Bit hazy beige beer, creamy white irregular head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: smells a lot like Boon, bit dusty, lemony, funky, geuze. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter (Girardin touch?), sourish, soft funky stuff, dry, bit woody, some tannins. Aftertaste: bitter, lemony, bit buttery, Girardin lambic signature prevails in the flavour. Also: way too expensive! Seriously...

Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of citrus, pediococcus, white wine, citric acid and green apple. Light sour flavour, citrus and lemon zest. Finish citric acid, lemon peel and malts. The description says it contains Girardin, Oud Beersel and De Troch lambik.. Where is the 4th B??

Bottle shared. Pours very hazy orange light gold brown with a tan head. Aroma of musty cellar, dusty, wood, light farmyard and citrus. Flavour is over moderate acidic. Medium bodied with light to moderate carbonation. Pretty decent.

750 ml. bottle sampled @ Pure Apricot Tasting. Thanks! Hazy orange, little creamy white head. Nose is quite heavy on the wood, touch bitter wood, very over lambiek, hay, raw, nice funk, light esters, wood is quite overt here, is this Boon? Lots of bitter wood in the taste, citrus, light lacto, bitter hay, creamy wheat giving light sweet balance, med. funk, lemony,… Lively, distinct, overt geuze, quite lovely, exceeded expectations for sure. Price-tag is ridiculous for this one.
