Bottle @Luppolo Station (Rome). Dorata, abbastanza limpida, schiuma bianca media, discretamente persistente. Al naso è vinosissima, uva, mela grattuggiata, stalla, citrico leggero. In bocca è dolce all'attacco con acidità contenuta, il carattere vinoso si perde un po'. Corpo medio, appena inferiore alle attese, carbonazione media. Morbida, forse un po' troppo.

A hazed golden Gueuze with a thin white head. In aroma, nice mix of tart Epsom salts, light Brett, light lactic notes, very nice and complex. In mouth, a nice fruity yet tart mix of lemon, Brett, light lactic notes, horse blanket, very nice and complex. Bottle at Cask Days 2018.

375 ml bottle, bb 14/02/2037, bottled 20 years before. Opens with a loud pop.
Golden, slightly hazy body, with a big, frothy, off-white head.
Aroma is surprisingly grainy at first, musty, basement, straw, wood, grapes, citrus, green apples, slight cheese.
Tastes quite similar, with more vinous notes, some stone fruits.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate cabonation.
Finishes very smooth, medium dry, medium wooden, a bit vinous, musty, fruity, a bit citric, with moderate grapes.
Very smooth stuff, with the wine barrel leading to a moderate, elegant layer. Not too funky, with the focus on balance, which is reall outstanding, while also with a great complexity underneath. Beautiful, extremely well drinkable Geuze.
Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 5 / 17

Bottle @ home, picked up at Wilbur’s earlier this year. Orange appearance with a white head. Tons of dust, oak, Parmesan cheese, lemon citrus, and barnyard funk. Moderately tart. All kinds of complexity with just a hint of grapes and apples. Refreshing though I think it could use even a bit more carbonation. Real fucken solid brew.
