Bottle: Poured a golden/amber color gueuze with a medium size white foamy head with OK retention and some minor lacing. Aroma of tart notes with some funky esther and oak notes. Taste is also a mix of tart notes, funky ester with some green apple notes and some oak and no signs of acidic notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable gueuze with really good balance overall.

750mL bottle, pours clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has a wonderfully fragrant barnyard funk, oak, and lemony notes. Flavour has a wonderful lemony character, with barnyard funk, some old furniture, and wood. Wonderful yeast character, with lots of lemon, wood, and funk. Beauty.

750mL bottle, cork and cage. Pours clear gold with a small white head. Tons of dirty barnyard funk on the nose; floral accents, some berry. Flavour has an excellent rustic yeast profile, grassy herbs, tart almost rhubarb-like tartness. This is excellent.

Deep golden colour, and bright. Thin, weak head. Smells like gueuzy leather depth. Earthy, with fresh malt, bright acidity...this is the concept of a beer that tastes fresh when it ages. The richness of the acidity, and the hints of leather, the depth of the acidity. This is an old soul, even for gueuze, and that's a beautiful thing.
