Cherry and oak in the aroma. Cloudy appearance. Fairly sour and fruity flavor (cherry and orange). Milky with just a hint of oak. Fruity, easy to drink traditional geuze, that lacks the harsh tartness some geuzes have.

02.04.2015, 0,33l bottle (2001 vintage) @ Man in the Moon:
Nice creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet fruity, well oxidized, butterscotch, candied fruits syrup, dried fruits, grass, oak, minerals, sugar, hay, old moldy cellar, soda powder. Taste is slightly dry and mild sour-ish, sorrel, minerals, grass, soda powder, weeds, wet hay, very mild vinegar. Medium bitterness, slightly dry mouthfeel. Fair enough, a lot better than expected.

The original Timmermans Gueuze Caveau revisited since some years after the brewery was taken over by John Martin’s. In its original form, this gueuze was atypical in that it was made with more old than young lambic, lending it a rounded, mellow, softer character than usual; this one is clearly a sweetened, compromized interpretation of the original, though it still shows lots of estery fruitiness and a certain sharpish acidity. It lacks the barnyard complexity of a true authentic geuze, though. Situated somewhere in between a real ’oude’ geuze and the sweetened, ’industrial’ 25 cl geuzes we know from the larger lambic breweries. Could be a good introduction to this inaccessible style for any beer fanatic not yet acquainted with it, I assume.

330mL bottle at Kulminator, pours a clear golden with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out notes of oxidation, residual sugars, and light funk - pretty oxidized. Flavour brings loads of cardboard, lots of oxidation, light acidity, and more cardboard. Really really oxidized and cardboard-dominated. Not good at all. Drain pour.

2004 Vintage @ Kulminator. 33 cl. bottle split by 2. Pours a clear apple juice amber with little in the way of a head. Smell is quite off-putting, chlorine, old and thin apple juice, sweeteners, completely oxidized and has that musty Kulminator smell upped to 11. Taste is manageable and luckily not as bad as the nose would led you believe. Lots of chlorine, totally oxidized, old oxidized lemonade, sweeteners, thin metallic apple juice, cardboard. Thin and fizzy body. This was probably sweetened and pasteurized to begin with so its current state isn’t much of a surprise but there isn’t much nice to say about this other than it is still drinkable and I finished my portion. At this point this is just an expensive tick for completionists and hardcore tickers.

Bottle at home, no idea of age. It pours clear amber with a medium white head. The nose is tangy fruits, some ice tea, sweet apple, citrus peel and a touch of spice. The taste is lightly tart, tangy generic fruits, wet wood, apple, pear, melon and ice tea with a short finish. Light-medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Sweet and simple, but not in a particularly nice way. Perhaps a touch better than their Tradition gueze lambic, but not by a whole lot...
