Bottle at RBESG 2007. Thanks to Mesandsim for this. It’s a "I must sit down," beer. Good lambic. Lovely tart redcurrant fruit. Intense. Good farmyard, softer than the Cantillons opened the previous evening. Good sharp fruit. Does take you to another place. 3.8/5.0 Re-rate Heeren van Liederkerke. Lots of character for this style of beer, soft in mouth. Good reddish fruits. Very drinkable because of the character.

Bottled at RBESG ’07. Hazy amber, lively head. Incredibly aroma of cobweb and barnyard inm layerafter layer. Tart and light bodied with lively dense mouthfeel. Mildly sour with woody barnyard flavour. So lovely and complex! I’d like just a tad more acidity, but my god, that aroma. It’s 12 out of 10!

Orange with a small bubbly head. Smooth aroma, grapefruit and horseblanket hint of malt, hint of wood. Very tart but a smoother acidity than the blauw with some wood notes to it. I liked it slightly better than the blue.

Bottle at RBG Low Countries 2005 Tasting Session and one at Heeren van Liedekercke (thanks to Mike (mds) for sharing that one!)
Fizzy, off-white head. Orange body. Nose of horse blanket, leather, herbs, orange, apple. Heavily acidic, moderately bitter initial flavour. Modertately acidic, lightly bitter finish. Very lovely and well-balanced flavour. Lightly bodied and lively carbonation. Drinks very easily. Somewhat more bitter than the blue one, but still a well balanced beer.

Moderate tan colour with a decent level of cloudiness. Woody gueuze with notes that remind me of Montgomery’s Cheddar. Funky, musty, actually somewhat light flavour.

Amber-shot orange gueuze; clearly orange coloured, slim head, fast gone. Superb nose, woody, horseblanket, vying to be amongst the most complex gueuzes ever tried. Effortlessly succeeding. End of the nose is very citrussy. Superbly dry, woody, with bamboo-shoot flavour, glue or organic solvent; lemon, pineapple, pinewood, turpentine. Superbly tart, huge dry-out effect. This beer is a one-off, but can be obtained at De Heeren van Liedekercke (Denderleeuw). IF you’re deemed worthy enough. I wasn’t for one, but thank God one of my friends was - because this is undoubtely a true top-gueuze. "Woody" gets a new meaning here.
