The incredibly subtle, elegant and mellow flavour of Oude Geuze VAT 91 has its origins in foeder No. 91, which used to be a calvados vat in Normandy. Today this foeder is creating excellent, mild Lambic beer, perfect for Oude Geuze. VAT 91 is soft, rounded, full-bodied, complex and balanced.

Bottle. Wine Rack, Sharrow, Sheffield. Mostly clear gold. Streams of fine bubbles. Dense, thick, lasting, bright white head. Nose has dusty oak. Crab apple. Some paper. Some vinous notes. Taste is dusty dry, with some tangy bitterness. Medium body. Pretty slick and oily. Touch of acidity. Dry and oaky finish.

Bottle bb 12/36. Amber with a loose white head. Aroma of brooding woody funk, toast, lemons. Mellow. And maybe I can actually taste apples. Only a little sour with both sweet and tart fruit, enduring funk. Lovely but lacks a little edge.

375ml bottle. Opalescent, orangey, pale golden colour with average, thick, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Tangy, slightly woody, oaky, minimally fruity aroma with a vinous touch, notes of white grapes, white balsamico. Taste is mildly tart, minimally dry woody, slightly vinous fruity, hints of white grapes, gooseberry and other pale berries, subtle sweetness with a touch of grape sugar, cautious spiciness; oily texture, smooth and soft palate, minimally too prickly carbonation lends a sherbet touch. Not overly complex, but superbly crafted. Very nice.

0.375 l bottle from 'Belgiuminabox.com', bottled in December 2016, cellared for almost two years. A little hazy, amber with a thin, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Minimally sweetish, sourish, fairly fruity, gently funky and a bit woody aroma of ripe lemon, rhubarb, gooseberry, oak and horse blanket. A bit sweet, moderately sour, quite fruity, gently funky and a bit woody taste of ripe lemon, rhubarb, gooseberry, leather, oak and horse blanket, followed by a medium long, gently tart, woody-dry and quite funky finish. Medium body, smooth, slightly astringent and quite effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Quite mellow, refreshing but still very complex. Very good!

Corked bottle, Sergey's hunt
Hazy golden colour. Strong Lambic aroma, moldy cellar, almost cheesy, with a touch of lemon peel. Soft mouthfeel, mild acidity, not very astringent, with nice cedar and lemon peel.
Excellent.
