Grape sugar aroma with oak and honey. Very sour and oaky. Dusty, honeyish. Lemon. Forget the Chapeau fruit beers, De Troch can really make a good geuze.

375ml bottle online from Etre Gourmet. 2019 bottle I think. Pours opaque golden with a few loose bubbles. Aroma: musty, barnyard, sour lemon, vinegar hints. Taste: moderate to heavy acetic, sour lemon, musty white grape, cider vinegar. Medium body. Light carbonation. Dry vinegar-y finish. Not what I was expecting. Interesting. Can't say I loved it

(Unlabeled 1999 bottle @ Akkurat bottleshare Sunday, Stockholm, Apr 14/19) Pours clear deep gold with a tiny white head. Notes of intensely musty wet basement, oxidation with some cardboard and damp cork, heavily lactic lemon, floral hints, wood, touch of grain. Heavily tart bordering on seriously sour through the sip, only light drying in the finish. Lots of musty funk but everything closes up fast in the aftertaste. Light to medium body, a bit watery, very little carbonation. Meh, this bottle is interesting but aged rather terribly compared to the best gueuze of its generation (e.g., 3F anything). Having not had fresh, I suppose I don't know what's attributable to age but some aspects seem undeniably so.

375 ml bottle into tulip glass, 2014 vintage. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair 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, peppercorn, hay, straw, wet wood, leathery/musty funk, wheat, cracker, white bread, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, oak barrel, 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, peppercorn, hay, straw, wet wood, leathery/musty funk, wheat, cracker, white bread, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate lactic tart/sourness, Brett 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, peppercorn, hay, straw, wet wood, leathery/musty funk, wheat, cracker, white bread, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, oak barrel, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/tart/sour/tangy and yeast/oak spiciness balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering sour/tang/tartness and yeast/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, acidic/tangy/tannic, and fairly crisp balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. No warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is an outstanding Belgian gueuze. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic/spicy yeast, oak barrel, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink, with the mellowly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish, not overly lactic. Fantastic classic barnyard Brett/Bacteria complexity, with great oak presence, and pale/wheat malts against acidity. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. For a budget priced lambic this was pretty amazing. Hits all expectations for the style, compared to many other more highly regarded brands.
