bottle from the Hampton tasting, thanks Georgia crew! It pours hazy gold with a thin, lasting head. The aroma is sour citrus and intense. The flavor is so tart, but quite good. It has a medium body and a lively mouthfeel with a dry finish. Very interesting. I’m lambic ignorant and a beer this sour was something different for me.

Bottle Opens with a very hard explosion-pof, but no beer splashes out. Clear amber body. Slightly off-white, creamy head, which fastly diminishes almost totally. Very beautiful beer. Complex nose of old wood, apples, white wine, fine liquor, citrus. Moderatelately sour, lightly bitter initial flavour. Moderately sour, moderately bitter finish. Nicely well balanced beer. The typical 3 Fonteinen mark is enormously shining through, but somewhat less sharper (but more softer) than the ’ordinary’ gueuze. Definitely another succes of Armand.

Hazy golden gueuze with a thick white head. Sour apples and small wild cherries in aroma, with horseblanket notes. Balance of lemon and tart apples in mouth, extra puckering with chalky notes. Creamy and smooth. Bought at the brewery in late april 2005, tasted May 2005, Capflu’s BW tasting.

Bottle, RBESG 2005 Grand Tasting. Hazy pale brown colour. Funky aroma, notes of horseblanket and sour fruits. Flavour is typical geuze sour, not too much, fruity. Very nice.

Bottled @RBESG’05
Pale yellow, creamy white head. Sour, slightly earthy nose. Good, not at all bone-dry gueuze. Refreshing, almost a thirst quencher! Long sour aftertaste.

Vintage 1998, 6½ years old
Cloudy copper color; huge foam; nice lace. Beautiful aroma, cellar, cobwebs, gently sweet. Good mouthfeel, not so sour, but really astringent.
Lovely and easily drinkable; Jens Ungstrup and me are having it with our Sunday brunch at PlanB, and this is the perfect match to it!

Dutch ratebeer meeting. Hazy golden coloured, enormous head. Delicious sour gueuze aroma, perfect. Greatly balanced. Tart, not too sweet. Palate is very intense in the beginning, but is not very longlasting. What can i say? This one is just very very good!

Gushing to preposterously large head; hazy peach coloured beer. Overwhelming citrus and wood nose (lemonwood), very woody even, at the same time as fine lemon - but only 'whiffs' of Brett. Tart taste, and - very surprisingly - spicey palate on top of a citrussy, lemony start. Wood in the palate too. Faint lavender and thyme. Not very heavy body. Dry, but not exaggeratedly so. Acids are subdued -just my oesophagus thinks otherwise. Aftertaste has a little bitterness - not surprisingly woody in character. I cannot say this gueuze is really overwhelming me. Obviously everything has been done to suppress acidity and express Brett-character. And if t'is better therefore - I tend to dispute.

OK, my tastebuds have evolved over the past 9 months: A hazy orange beer with a huge collapsing head. The aroma is sour, with notes of wood and grapefruit. And the flavor is lovely sour with notes of grapefruit. ----------------- An unclear orange beer with a fine but fast disappearing head. The aroma is sour and metallic. The flavor is a sour geueze flavor. A good geueze but not great. Too sour for my tastebuds. = 5/3/5/3/11

Bottled. This unlabelled 75cl bottle is not exactly what I drink any day, so it was poured with great care. Dark yellow and hazy with rich lively head. Tart, barnyardy aroma. Citric and acidic with clean malt profile. Dry and lightly grassy with bitterish finish.
