Bottle at Mikkeler Bar SF. Aroma is nice and complex with an amazing earthiness and herbal note to it. Light citric acidity to compliment the beer. Musty hay and barnyard notes to compliment. Almost no acetic note. Herbal character is a touch minty. Pours a fairly clear pale golden color with a fairly big, light pillowy head that recedes until it is just a film along the top and edges. The film persists for quite some time. Flavor has a bit more citrus than the aroma and has a touch less barnyard character. Flavor still has quite a bit of that earthy, herbal note. Really pleasant balance of acidity and funk. The moderate acidic note is clean and citrusy while very smooth and not in your face. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Such a nice silkiness to this beer which is shocking for an acidic beer. Overall an amazingly complex beer with so much nice earthy notes, barnyard notes, some hay and really light, pleasant acidity. The two most noticeable things are the clean acidity and the herbal note. The acidity works so well and the herbal note is slightly minty and refreshing for a geuze.

Bottle at Akkurat. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Nose is detectable from feet away, with shitloads of fragrant barnyard funk, some lemon zest, and a little horse blanket. Flavour is remarkably complex, bringing possibly the most amazing barnyard funk I've tasted, along with moderate horse blanket, some lemon zest, and maybe a little super dry dried fruits. Holy crap, this is complex as hell. The funk is more complex than any gueuze I've had thus far. Finished on sharp funky notes, with a very dry palate and low acidity. This is holding up extremely nicely for a 15-year beer. Amazing stuff. Best lambic I've had.

Bottle at Akkurat. Hazy, light orange liquid with small to medium white head. Gusher. Aroma has notes of the traditional 3F funk (barnyard, bit hay), lemons, some leather and apples. Taste is light sweet (what?!) and light to medium sour. Very drinkable but still funky. Medium bodied with low carbonation. Balanced with a nice amount of funk.

Bottle at Akkurat. It pours hazy orange, with a medium white head. The nose is floral (particularly chamomile and daisy), fresh apple (Granny Smith and Braeburn), watermelon and some tart lemon. The taste is granny smith apple, lemon, red grapefruit, white currant, hay, floral notes, wood, farmyard, sherbet and fruit pastilles, with a juicy-tart finish. Medium body and lively, spritzy carbonation. This has a really soft mouth-feel and is perfectly balanced. Utterly drinkable. I doubt a geuze can get much better than this!

750 ml bottle shared @ Akkurat. Explosive gusher! Half of us got covered in gueuze when this was opened. Pours hazy pale golden with a huge fizzy golden white head that is rather slow to dissipate while leaving some trace on the glass. Smell is intense and sour with gooseberries, horse blanket, barnyard, lemon juice, dusty oxidation, old hay, resinous wood, dry soil and hints of grapefruit juice, unripe berries and grapefruit rind. Taste is sweet and tiny fruityish sweet with resinous oak, grapefruit juice, lemon zest, hay, dry dusty barnyard, leather, brett, grape zest, lemon juice, horse blanket, gooseberries and currants. Mouthfeel is smooth, dry, tart, extremely balanced and medium to full bodied. Finish is silly sour and tart with wood, dry soil, brett, leather, lemon juice, lemon zest and hay. Extremely balanced and amazing.

Bottle @ Too many Geuze’s - only one toilet , Ulfborg 2012 - Day 1. Bing bang and gusher :) Dark golden, with white head. Grape , lemon, cellar notes, dust, barnyard, wood, leather. So complex yet so well balanced and easy drinkable. Again I would expect it to be must more sour, but the amount is just right and perfect for the taste.
