Bottle. Gusher - cork popped off as wire cage was loosened. Golden beer with a big foamy off-white head. Tart aroma of green apples and some honey sweetness. Huge carbonation - had to let it settle a bit. Tart flavor - lemon and green apple with a bit of sweetness. Some lemon lingering. Nicer when carbonation is a bit less.

Bottle No head, murky orange body. Lightly hoppy (citrus) and lightly yeasty nose. Lightly sweet, moderately acidic initial flavour. Very attractive. Moderately acidic, lightly bitter finish (long-lasting). Medium bodied.

Hazy orange body, medium off-white head. Classic sour/musty gueze aroma with honey, white grapes, and a touch of brie cheese rind. Very sour body with cheese rind, mold, and must mingling with the honey that provided just a hint of sweetness that was overwhelmed by the sour flavors of the gueze. Yeah, a Ratebeer run-on. Long finish. A real tongue-tingler.

Bottled. Hazy pale yellow. Honey aroma. Funny combination with the sweet, eucalypthus-like honey and the really tart gueuze. There are some pine needles and a very dry acidic finish. This is a blending of two good things that doesn’t work- It feels like I’m drinking two liquids at one time.

An unclear dark orange beer with a huge head. The aroma is sour with notes of oranges. The flavor is tasting of exactly what it is: a mixture of a Gueueze and Mead. It is sweet with notes of flowers and honey as well as sour with notes of grapefruit. A wonderful beer - more of this please.

Cloudy orange golden color, short white head. Aroma and taste are quite typical gueuze, but with sweet honey added. High carbonation. Slightly sharp palate. The combination of mead and gueuze is not a good experiment IMO.
