Bottle picked up in Brussels and enjoyed back in Oldmeldrum, Scotlandshire. It pours clear golden - amber with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is musty, zingy, tangy, lemon - lime, white grape skin, Riesling, apple pie, gooseberry, funk, hay, barnyard, dry oak and leathery accents. The taste is firmly dry, muted bitterness, dry, puckering, zingy, sherbet, tangfastics, nip of acidity, lemony, lemon peel, citron, grapefruit must, touch lactic, sour green chewits, crunchy green grapes, slight minerality, deep funk, leathery, barnyard, woody and dry white wine with a dry, woody finale. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Nice depth of flavour. Really like the balance to this one. Another quality Lindemans offering.

Bottle. Bit of a gusher! Almost clear dark golden to amber with very big off white head. Feep oak, typical Lindemans funk, bread crust, zesty, light leather. It's old, woody and full of sweet grains, but also bright and zesty, a lovely match. Medium sweet and sour, over medium bodied. This is a lovely beer, too bad it's so wild and gushing.

750ml from de Bierschuur @ Ryan's.
Aroma: nice funk with some acidity. Smells like a good Cuvee Renee (of which I have drank 7+ cases).
Taste: along the same lines, pretty sharp (in a good way), some light sweetness, full-bodied.
Overall: very nice 👌

Poured from 750mL bottle (Pure 2017 aged 7 years; bottled October 2023; bb October 2033). Brown-ish gold with full white head. Soft funk, feint manure, creamy carbonated head, there's an underlying subduedness with some lightly aggressive notes. Not totally balanced, but easy drinking.

Clear rose amber with a good cm of white head that lasts pretty well. Aroma of old lemon, the whitewashed laundry, berries, medium sherry, oak. Moderately sour. Quite deep sherry and some leather notes with caramelized berries under a nice citrusy lightening touch (surely there is more than enough younger lambic than required to get the bubbles) and a fairly heavily oaked finish. Sophisticated yet almost swiggable.

0.75 l bottle from 'Het Huis van de Geuze', 2017 vintage, bottled in October 2023. Clear, golden orange with a medium large, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sourish, gently fruity, quite funky aroma of overripe lemon, oak, white pepper, quite some horse blanket and leather. Hardly sweet, fairly woody-dry, gently sour, rather funky and quite fruity taste of overripe lemon, oak, horse blanket, yoghurt, hay, leather and light barnyard, followed by a medium long, gently tart, fairly woody-dry finish. Medium body, gently astringent and rather effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Quite rustic, but also fairly elegant Geuze, fantastically balanced, very complex. Outstanding!
