Med-thin bod, light carbo. Med sour, med-light sweet, light tart. Surprisingly tame, a bit of oxidation going on, in a med-light honeyish way, good though. Med funky, good complex funk. Overall quite good, but the others were better.

Thin bod, med carbo. Lots of funk, horsey, barny. Subtle cognac and wood, present, but only in a light complementary way. Finishes on a grassy flowery note, fresh feeling. Very good.

Very low carbo. Thin bod, very dry. Lots of pleasant flowery barnyard, rather light horsey. Only a hint of akevitt in aroma and an echo in taste. Very good though, smooth. Classic.

750ml bottle shared @Luppolo Station (Rome). Dorata, velata, brillante, schiuma bianca media, abbastanza persistente. Al naso note di frutta bianca, stalla, vinoso, leggero balsamico. In bocca è morbida, non lunghissima, ma elegante e bilanciata, secca, con notte vinoso e leggermente balsamiche. Corpo medio-leggero, carbonazione media. Promettente, ha ancora molto da dare.

Bottle. Color: Slightly hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Rural and stable funk, fruity, wood, wet straw. Taste: Fruity (mix of citrus, some green apple, some grape and gooseberry), quite a lot of rural and stable-like funk and oak wood, some wet straw and old hop. Recognizable fuller in taste than the standard Geuze, because of the 5-year old Lambic. Very nice.

Bottle. Color: Clear golden, thin white head. Aroma: Gooseberry, fruity tartness. Some funk and herbal hints. Taste: Over moderate tartness, fruity gooseberry, some lemon, rural funk, oak wood and herbal (anise, fennel) hints. Nice subtle complexity, mostly recognizable towards and at the finish.

Small if persistent white head over lively carbonated amberish golden beer. Sulphur, farmyard, horseblanket, yellow/green stonefruit, gooseberry, horsestable. Sharpish, lactic acid, again stonefruit, partly unripe. Again some sulphur, some vegetable as raw celeri. Lipsmacking acidity, acidburn, acidthinning, yet a certain roundness, slick, wheat. Severe but very good oude gueuze. Might mellow out with some more aging. Txs to Stef!
