Bottle (01 march/ 2005) from Marcus. Very much appreciated. Pours a very dark reddish tinged brown with an emphemeral pinkish tan head. Aroma of sour cherry and brett. Medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Flavor is sour, brettish, and puckering cherry. Finish is smooth, sour and a bit earthy. Not like sucking cherry pits. More like sucking sour cherry skins. Takes a long time for wood and oak to be noticeable, but it does happen. They don’t make many like this. It just gets better with time.

Bottle (vintage 11.30.05): Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Still full of carbonation. Smells sweet and fruity, woody, and tart. Apples and oak. Taste is again, sweet and fruity followed by lots of tart and some woody notes. A wonderfuly smooth and puckering experience. Thanks to BuckDich for delivering this splendid gueuze.

Bottle from John’s Market in Portland, OR. Orange tinged golden color with a significant white head. Aroma is fruit, but slightly sour. Some grassy hop in the background. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is slightly bready with a very nice complex of fruit and hop. Just a lite bite of bitter at the finish. So this is just a top notch "real lager". "It’s real, or it isn’t. It’s ale, or it’s not. If it isn’t, and it’s not, why drink it? If it is, but it isn’t, maybe." Well this one is most definitely. Great beer. Soft and lush in the mouth. The bottle says it’s the best lager of Belgium. How about the world?

Sehr milder Antrunk, wenig herb, wässrig. Etwas bitter im Mittelteil, größteteils herrscht weiter eine große Wässrigkeit. Kaum einer Veränderung im Mittel, wenig bitterer im Abgang. Unglaublich unspektakulär und langweilig. Test vom 10.8.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,7,6,6,8,6

(6/29/08) Bottle sample at RBESG08 grand tasting in Plzen. Hazy deep golden color with a big white head. Aroma of barnyard, quite a lot of citrus and nice oakiness. Very sour flavor with loads of funky character, lemon, some grapefruit notes and wood. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation. This is outstanding!

Bottle at Casey and Traci’s tasting 01-08-08, cheers you two for a great evening, thanks also to Mes for recomending this and where to buy it, cheers! crikey any more thank you’s and it’ll begin to sound like an Oscar acceptance speech Pours hazy golden orange in fact in the light of Casey and Traci’s Morroccan lamp this beer looks like the oily run off from a spaghetti bolagnese. The citrus sharpness bites first and its like getting a preserved lemon washing the salt residude off and then rubbing it around your gums fantastic. There’s a lemony wet sheep aroma some nice gentle carbonation, slight furry lemon at the end, its soft, drying and very nice indeed.
