Thanks to Sergiy for spotting this one for me! Hazy mid-amber sort of colour, with medium head. Typical gueuze. Lots of leather, super dry, oaky, wheaty, lemony, and each of these is pretty powerful as well. Assertive, leaning towards tartness, great bugs. Nice, solid gueuze.

Pours clear, amberblonde. medium sized, very stable white head. Scent is very funky, woody, smells way older than i'd expect. Taste is sharp, less funky than expected. Mildly woody, certainly acidic, but balanced. Old Oak, citrussy. the 40/60 is perhaps a touch more outspoken, intense, but less on the citrussy, fruity side. both are pretty good, this one being the (very close) second for me.

That’s very good stuff. Funky and clean, notes of pale wood, lemon peel, straw. Moderate acidity. Decent salinity. Extremely drinkable. No off notes, really. Exceptional.

0.375 l bottle from 'Beyond Beer', 2023/2024 vintage, best before February 2034. Hazy, golden orange with a medium large, slightly fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, rather fruity and quite funky aroma of overripe lemon, horse blanket, white pepper, oak and leather. Minimally sweet, quite sour, rather fruity and gently funky taste of overripe lemon, gooseberry, oak, leather, white pepper and some horse blanket, followed by a medium long, rather tart, quite woody-dry finish. Medium body, quite astringent and fairly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty Geuze, rather fruity and refreshing.

375ml from De Bierschuur shared with Alex @ Ryan's deck enjoying a finally arrived warm days.
Aroma: some funk, but way less than 40-60 one. Has also more bubbles than a 40-60 as well as some sweetness. Some horse blanket, almost no minerals detected.
Taste: way more smooth then 40-60, funk, horse blanket.
Overall: nice one, but I prefer the 40-60 that's more prominent and has a "kick", haha.

Poured from 375mL bottle (bb 07/02/2034; side by side with 40-60; louder cork pop of the two beers). Clear-ish bright gold with small white head, more carbonation bubbles. Citrusy funk with some barnyard character, balanced Tilquin tartness. Decent. Blended the last little bit of each and came out with the most balanced version.

Bouteille 37.5cl dégustée en parallèle avec la version 40/60. BB 07/02/2034.
Dorée sur un léger voile avec dès l'ouverture plus de sédiments qui viennent virevolter, col fin blanc-cassé peu tenace.
Arôme donne de suite sur de fins effluves classique de gueuze - lambics, vieux cellier, cave et barrique en fermentation, levure sauvages, Léger fruité rappelant un abricot pas trop mûre, bretts surfant sur un effet Orval-esque, verger en fleur versant sur un léger terreux.
Palais est sec assez marqué, touche finement citriuqe/funk, sensationd e grosielle verte avec un côté orange amer.

The color is initially brass, but when the yeast sediment enters the glass it soon becomes cloudy dark yellow. The head lies like a thin lid across the liquid. The aroma is vinegary sour with rubbery passion fruit notes. The acidity becomes more evident when you taste the drink; rhubarb and nettles with woody oak barrels. The acidity lingers in the mouth for a while. Good; slightly better than 40-60.

375 c&c from Tavour. Pours translucent orange gold with a large but extremely transient white head. Aroma is very funky with some wood notes. Med body. Flavor is funky and dry. Wood notes. Some apple notes. The sourness is a very low level, tho there's a bit of acidic burn on mouth parts. The flavor is so good I can imagine drinking liters of it. Amazing.
