(75cl bottle, shared by DerDoppelbock at a tasting session together with pivnizub) Hazy amber colour with a small creamy, slightly off-white layer. Dusty, sweet and tart-fruity (apple) aroma. Soft malty, restrained sourish-fruity taste with well-balanced notes of apples; slightly sweet, dryish, fruity and tart finish. Well-aged Gueuze (05.10.06).

Bottle (750ml): Hazy, amber coloured, small, quite stable foamy layer; sweat - that’s right in the nose, combined with citrus fruity and sourish aromas; moderate sourish flavour, slightly sweetish; sourish, slightly fruity and tart finish. A very good and pleasant Gueuze ! Thanx to DerDoppelbock for bringing it from the donator JorisPPattyn...!)

(Bottle 25 cl) 6% ABV in my version. Pale amber colour with a very small head. Very low in carbonation. Typical fusty, sweaty notes (yeah, I know it sounds horrible....) with the typical vinegary, dry tartness. Even a hint of bitter hops in the finish. I would have guaranteed, that this was a classical, unsweetened Gueuze, but I can tell from Joris that it has some sweeteners. Well, they’re not really in any dominance. 180398

Pale copper colour, very clear; rather stable (for lambic) yellowish head, very creamy at first, leaving some lace. Strange, but all the same lovely blend of citrus (lemon, mainly) and mouldy nose, ending in more classical horseblanket and much sulphur. Outspoken tart taste, softened by obvious but thankfully restrained artificial sweetener. Woody notes, sulphuric, tannine-rich; dark candi sugar, rhubarb, crab-apples, Brett. Rhubarb flavour gets stronger in time. Very wry, tart, dry-out effect, not very much body; slickness (from saccharine?) at the back of the throat. On the verge of traditional and less so. One of the last bottles ever blended; still to be found in specialised beerhouses, certainly in Pajottenland.
