(Draught at Delirium Hoppy Loft, Brussels, 23 Oct 2013) Golden colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity, sourish nose with citrus, stable, sweaty horse and dried fruit. Malty, fruity, tart taste with notes of citrus, peaches, barnyard and a slight sweetness coming through in a finish with wild yeast flavours. Almost full body. Interesting sour/triple combination. Nice one.

20 cl. draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. I am going to keep my opinion on this one until I have more info about how this was made. This is Fleurac, didn’t taste like Geuze & I remember Jean from Cantillon going into a semi-fit of rage about this one. Lightly hazy amber with some lambic style bubbles. According to style or Fleurac filling a keg badly again? Smell is tart, hay, brutal stuff with some mushrooms, bitter old rutting wood & funk. Taste is nothing like geuze, vinegar but simple, rotting old white wine good, tart lemon, wattery, bitter mushroom, lots of booze! in the finish, Boon at this ABV didn’t feel heavy but this is not refreshing like geuze but hard to drink, lots of tart old rotting white wine wood in the finish. Body is flat & watery, once again question, to style or badly done? As a regular beer or sour this is below average but okay. I am going to rate it as such but as a geuze this is an insult. /////// Got more info about this beer, this beer is a blend of 2 wild fermented beers in wooden barrels in Auvergne. One was 1 year old & the other one 3 years old. Nice, no complains about this, calling it geuze is debatable but it was wild fermented & everything. Glad to have tried it, interesting experiment & I applaud people for doing things like this.

Draft @ Hoppy Loft. Where to begin with this? For one, I loathe the use of ’gueuze’ when the end product does not even use any lambic. Second, I must admit that the beer itself was not that bad, and compared to other Fleurac products this may come as an euphemism. Couleur dorée, col blanc mais dont la couche inférieur remonte très doucement à la surface, prenant le profil d’un glaçon. Arôme laisse effectivement la part belle à la barrique. Le côté boisé et résiduel de vin est fort présent sans pour cela être de trop. Notes boisées modérées avec au final aucune trace d’une base de lambic. Palais. Ici même question, où sont les lambics? Je ne retrouve aucune sensation de gueuze; ni dans le profil cuire, ni dans l’approche suret ou même dans le coté râpeux, grains. Le seul point positif étant ce travail de la barrique. Pour moi, il aurait été plus astucieux de faire mûrir une bière blonde que d’user maladroitement le ’terme’ gueuze. Palais est sec, un peu poussiéreux, mais venant de la barrique. Cette note reflète mon opinion nonobstant le style gueuze qui est nullement respecté. En notant par style, je passe dès lors à une cote de 5-3-5-2-11(12).
