750ml bottle. Relic from Discount Liquor Milwaukee. Can't figure its age. Holds up pretty well. Enough lemony wheat to keep it sort of authentic tasting. I enjoyed it, and it is better than most of its North American peers, but it still doesn't quite nail it. Devolved apple vinegar, but also lovely earthy barnyard funky wheat. Good.

750ml corked and caged bottle. Hazy orange pour with a great funky barnyard Aroma. Hints of wet hay, and orange peel with some light wheat. I’m quite impressed of the geuze flavours from this beer. Great tartness and sourness. Some citrus in the end, lemon rind, and citrus zest with more funky hay and wet grass. Impressive!

Bottle. Poured a very vibrant orange color with a fizzy head. Aroma was pleasant orange tangerine, light sweetness. Flavor was funky notes, tart, light sour. Tasty stuff. At a DCBeer share.

Poured from bottle @ FHF 2022 (notes from Aug 06, 2022). Clear-ish gold with small white head. Light funk and wood, some gueuze-like qualities. Decent.

Bottle from Muted Horn. Hazy straw with white head. Tart apples, herbal elderflower stem, grainy oat crunch and stone fruit. Very nicely drinkable, especially as it warms a little.

750ml from Denman LRS @ home. Bottled on 2017-07-04. Appearance: slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: gueuze-ish aroma with some fruity and slight nail polisher notes. Taste: along the same lines, very sour. Overall: too acidic.

Amber colour with just a slight haze. Nice tart, horsey character. Light brett. Wheat and sour, lots of brett C. So some gueze-like elements. But of course, not a gueuze. Complex and tasty though.

Got in a BIF from TheDoctor. 750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 7/12/2016. Pours lightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Nice spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus zest, peach, pear, pineapple, mango, melon, apricot, papaya, guava, berries, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, oak, leather, cork, wet wood, musty funk, wheat, cracker, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of oaken vanilla, peppercorn, white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, oak barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big sour/tart/tangy lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus zest, peach, pear, pineapple, mango, melon, apricot, papaya, guava, berries, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, oak, leather, cork, wet wood, musty funk, wheat, cracker, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of oaken vanilla, peppercorn, white wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light-moderate lactic tart/sourness, wine tang, and light yeast/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus zest, peach, pear, pineapple, mango, melon, apricot, papaya, guava, berries, red/green apple, white grape/wine, hay, straw, grass, oak, leather, cork, wet wood, musty funk, wheat, cracker, biscuit, light pepper/vanilla/vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, oak barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/sourness and tangy/spicy balance; with minimal puckering flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from carbonation, tart/sourness, and lingering tangy/spiciness. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/acidic, and fairly crisp/tangy/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 5.5%. Overall this is an amazing gueuze style! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, oak barrels, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the moderately increasing acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish, not overly lactic. Amazingly well rounded barnyard funky Brett/Bacteria complexity, oak presence, and pale/wheat malts against acidity. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example. Really surprised me. Just as amazing or better than many of the authentic classic Belgian versions available.
