(notes from Nov 17, 2023 because RB wouldn't log in) Poured from the tap. Hazed gold with small white head. Some nice tart funk, mild oak barrel, surprisingly decent.

GABF 2022. Not at the level of a Belgian gueuze but it is good in its own right. moderately sour, acidic, yeast in the aroma. Sour, appropriate carbonated. Good.

Bought at Liquor Shed in Casper. Bottled February 26th 2020.
It pours a not quite clear orange gold with about an inch of foam, some lacing.
The smell is fruity, with notes of pear, white wine and oaky aromas, and definite tartness with a hint of Brett.
A really dry tart taste is what I first notice. Pear and white wine follow, with some lemon that is noticeable to me in the finish. That and the dryness. I don't notice any acetic tartness.
Fairly light bodied with lively carbonation.
I've cut back on drinking beers like this because of heartburn but I am indulging today with this pretty darn good Wild Ale. May my stomach forgive me.

Still a bit tight next to the 2018. More stone fruit esters. Needs a bit of time to open I think.

slightly hazy golden color. Big oak, cobweb, barnyard, a bit of fuselage notes with barnyard, fuller body, the mouth feel isn’t the best, very tart, decent oak. Good complexity but abv it a bit too high.

Both Aromas and flavors are sour, dry grass, Funk and a bit of fruit. Flavors have beers amount of sweet so not quite dry. Don't pick up any of the spices listed on the label. Decent sour beer. But nothing special.

Bottle thanks to AJ. Pours a hazy orange gold with medium off white head that lasts. The aroma is earth, oak, sour fruit. Thin body, oak, spice, light tartness, decent.

03/18/19, crazy how far from Belgian gueuze it tastes but it's still quite nice. Sweet fruity white fruits and white pepper. Nice tart and sour balance. Bubbly boi.
