375 ml bottle into tulip glass, best before 2/14/2037. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2-3 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tart/sour lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, pineapple, melon, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, grass, peppercorn, wet wood, leather, musty/lacto funk, wheat, cracker, white bread, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, wine foeders, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart/sour lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, pineapple, melon, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, grass, peppercorn, wet wood, leather, musty/lacto funk, wheat, cracker, white bread, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate lactic tart/sourness, Brett/wine tang, and yeast/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/sour lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, pineapple, melon, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, grass, peppercorn, wet wood, leather, musty/lacto funk, wheat, cracker, white bread, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, wine foeders, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/tart/tangy/sourness and yeast/wine/oak spiciness balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/tang/sourness, yeast/wine/oak spiciness, and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and acidic/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 6.5%. Overall this is an outstanding Gueuze. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, wine foeders, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish, not overly lactic. Amazingly well rounded classic barnyard Brett/Bacteria complexity; with great wine foeder presence, and pale/wheat malts against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazingly spot on style example as expected.

Bottle at 100 piv. Rather thin body and high carbonation. Moderately sour, light acetic, tartness. Quite rich wild character, maintaining easy drinkability. Very good.

Bottle. Golden color with small white head. Wood, bayrnard, earthy notes, sourness in aroma. Taste, sourness, earthy notes, wood. Long sour finish. Nice.
