Bottle at De Heeren van Liedekercke, March 2012. Unknown vintage other than it was from the late eighties. Clear golden/orange with no head. The aroma and taste was very sour. Wood, fruit, barnyard. Well balanced and well aged.

Sampled @ RBBWG Antwerpen. Cloudy orange color, small white head. Smell vinegar, cellar and sourness. Taste very acidic: ok, but not really my thing. Average mouthfeel.

Imported from my RateBeer account as De Neve Gueuze (by Belle-Vue (AB InBev)):
Aroma: 10/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 8/10, Palate: 2/5, Overall: 18/20, MyTotalScore: 4.2/5
Shouldn't really be here, as this bottle was originally brewed by "De Neve" and not by Belle-Vue, but ratebeer won't let me create a new beer for it.
Tasting @John Versycks place, with some members of the Ghent Beersociety. Jeroboam bottle (3L) expired 1991, tasted on May 1st 2010. Bottle still "hissed" on popping out the cork. Pours a darkorange and clear for the first glasses to rusty-brown and clouded at the last glasses. Quite some foam while pouring, but this dissappeared very quickly. Smells sweet, port, cointreau, little dusty, wood. Tastes quite sweet, like very ripe fruits. Finishes to slightly acidic. Hints of orange, orange-peel (more clear in the last bit of the bottle) and mandarins. A little bit spicy, peppery. Alternating game of soury and sweet tones in the aftertaste. Not a real geuze anymore (what did you expect after +-30 years) but defenitely very interesting. Thanks to John for this opportunity.

Corked bottle at De Heeren Van Liedekercke, best before 12/1999
Cloudy orange-amber color, persistent small head. There is only a light aroma of cellar, perfumy, and some acetone. The body starts getting mellow, but the flavor is very acetic, the final acidity is aggressive. Quite extreme, I wonder if it will change in another 10 years.

37,5cl bottle. Vintage BB 1999. Bottle purchased at De Heeren Van liedekercke. Ohh Bwoy! Pours unclear orange with no head on top. Nose is sour with notes of wood, dust, cellar, barnyard & leather. Flat carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel. Perfectly aged. Lovely sour bite. Dry, lemony brett-ish and crisp. This brings me back to Belgium and De heeren inparticular. Also a reason why I am going back there the next time im leaving my country. Shit . . This is great!

Hazy amber with tiny white head. Sour aroma with woody and citric notes. Very sour flavour with barnyeard, grapefruit, leather and woody notes. Very sour finish. I loved it and what a worthy 5000th rate it was!

1995 bottle. A reddish amber gueuze with a thin big bubbled white head. A rather oxidized gueuze with notes of honey and leather. In mouth, still a nice gueuze with rhubarb, leather, cherries. a bit of oxidation noted but still in good shape. Bottle at Kulminator, Nov. 2006, with Joris and Carlo.
