A hazed blonde Gueuze with a thin white head. In aroma, loads of Brett, ground cherries, lactic acid, Epsom salts, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet lactic acid, Epsom salts, Brett, classic, very nice. Merci Boutip.

Fully traditional gueuze (’oude geuze’) made especially for the 20th anniversary of Belgium’s best-known beer restaurant, De Heeren Van Liedekercke, with lambic from Lindemans and Girardin. Tasted as a vintage bottle (obviously) at 2 years of age . Stable, off-white head, bright golden blonde colour. The complex smell of all good things in oude geuze: some sulphur already present, lemon zest, sour cream, hay, green apple, horseblanket, rose petals, old sherry, sweat... Fresh citrussy onset in the mouth with hints of wine vinegar and wheat, dry acidity with the soft, smooth rounded, ’mals’ effect that typifies both the Girardin and Lindemans lambics, finish lightly bitter, dry, very complex and very long, as is custom in this genre. All in all a very classy and perfectly balanced gueuze and a more than worthy gift to De Heeren.

0.75l capped and corked bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. A nice big POFF on the cap here. In the glass it's as good as crystal clear, golden in color and it has a big frothy almost fluffy and lasting white top. Lots of cork and old sawdust in the nose. All the goes around the table got hjortesalt when nosing it, I did not. The cork is truly present here, as is plain old wet musky wood. A dry green apple acidity blended with wet cellar, rope and some surprising tomato sweetness. Smells nice enough, but strange in a way. Tastes nice enough also. Soft brett, not extreme on the sourness at all. More light tart with lots of cork and cellar. It's mildly carbonated this and it feels mild oily in the mouth. Ends with traces of cognac and more wood. I have to say that I had hoped for a bit more actually, but it's a fine one never the less. 15.01.2014

Big fizzy mediumlasting head. Aroma is instantly masses of CO2 (or rather bakers ammonia (in Norwegian hjortetakksalt, where Google Translate suggested Deer Thank Salt, LOL!)) stinging in the nose, citrus peel, old cellar, old rope, mild vinegar, sorrel, grass, citrus. Taste is slightly harsh grassy, citrus, citrus peel, old rope, sorrel, cellar, oak. Longlasting mild bitterness, dry mouthfeel. Nice enough.

Bottle shared at a sour tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks Pallieter85 for this bottle! Hazy deep golden with a big bubbly white head. Lemony and oaky aroma with some cobwebs and floral hints. Sour flavor, lemony and oaky, with a bitterish and more lemony finish. Medium-bodied, strong carbonation. Good stuff.

Appearance: Cloudy golden color with no head at all to talk about.
Aroma: Sour and funky.
Palate: Medium + body. Moderate sour/acidic and a balanced bitterness. Heavy carbonation. That cork almost killed me.
Taste: Mild sour and balanced acidic. Fruity and a very dry texture.
Overall impression: Tasty and nice.
