37,5 cl bottle vintage 2006 (9%) @ lusikka
Aroma has mead‐like honey, some moldy cellar, hints of root beer and grapefruit. Flavour is sour with grapefruit, green apples and earthy notes typical to gueuze. Also some honey and white wine. Dry and quite unique; smells like mead, tastes like gueuze.

2006 vintage - Pours clear golden with a smooth foamy head. Aroma of cellar, stingy tartness, dry fruits, sweet meady notes and hints of honey. Taste is dry, tart and slightly sour with notes of sweet honey, mead, hints of cellary yeasty notes. Finish is vinous, sweetish, slightly sour and tart with notes of dry fruits, honey and yeast. Okay, quite unique mix of a mead and gueuze.

Bottle at Akkurat. It pours hazy orange, with a quickly dissipaiting white head. The nose is honey, apricot, tangerine, orange blossom and marzipan. The taste is tangy orange, grapefruit, kumquat, lemon, light honey, poached pear and a touch of butter with a tart finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. A great experimental sour mead.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Very crisp and sharp gueuze with an unsubtle taste of honey in the mid and the finish. Unusual, nice.

Bottle at Akkurat in September 2010. Amber with a brief white head. Sweet, funky aroma of honey, apples and some fruits. Interesting and good taste, sweet with honey. Very drinkable with a thicker mouthfeel compared to a normal gueuze. A nice mead/beer I have to say.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a soft, medium white head. Sour, tart aroma with light fruits, grass and some mustiness. Flavor has fruity sweetness up front with some berries and honey, then the tartness and sourness takes over. Light to medium in body with fizzy carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel. Lingering fruity sourness. Very good.

Entered to celebrate my 4800th Rating. Thanks a lot to Alex from 420 for pulling this out his cellar upon my request. Pours clear golden with small bubbles on top. Nose is oxidized and woody. Tart and acidic. Tart and dry flavor. Very mellow still. Dry, crisp and sour. Lovely!
