2006 bottle. Unclear light red with no head. Cherry aroma with a light funk and some almond. Very tart and dry with some cherry acidity, but it could do with a little more funk complexity.

(Bottle, brewed in 2002, Akkurat, Stockholm, 23 May 2008) Deep red colour, with huge but brief, white head. Slightly cloudy. Tart nose with cherries, almonds, stable, horse blanket, barnyard, old socks and earthy cellar notes. Lovely! Tart taste with notes of cherries, almonds and a long, harsh, sour finish. Lots of carbonation makes it quite lively. This is addictive stuff. Absolutely brilliant.

375ml corked bottle bought from the store at Oud Arsenaal in Antwerp. Lively, but not a gusher. Cherry red color. Wonderful cherry wheat farmhouse smell. Delightful lemony tartness, with a hint of cherry in there as well. Those looking for authentic, sour lambics won’t do much better than this one. Intensely sour. A masterpiece.

From the very tail end of the pre-DLD party at Flossmoor, this bottle is conjured up. So my notes are pretty scratchy at this point. To know this mutha is to know what they mean by "barnyard" beer smell. Funk in the funkiest places, old manure drying in straw on the stable floor… and that’s to describe why I like it! Yet a nice dubbel blonde color. Tartness all over the tongue, but yet it’s kind of playful, helped by fizzy carbonation. A fine example of what a well-placed brett and a bit of judicious geuze blending can do.

2005 Bottle at the Hotel Centrum, Beersel 25/4/08. Opened with an audible fizzing. Very deep, opaque cherry colour with no head yet plenty of carbonation. Big cherry fruit aroma with some barnyard depth and vague nuttiness. Tart fruit flavours, with huge amounts of fruit and a long, dry finish. Wonderfully balanced between fruit and lambic.

Re-rate 6/5/12: Bottle shared at a sour tasting at Noam’s office. Bottled 2009. Clear golden. Aroma of aluminum, dust, old wood, barnyard and citrus notes. Sourish flavor with some citrus, dust and earth. Medium-bodied. Clear golden. Good and pretty interesting, but something’s weird with this batch/bottle. 7/3/7/3/15=3.5
(3/7/08) Bottle at Waterhuis aan de Bierkant in Ghent. Bottled on 10/06. Cloudy golden with a very bubbly white head. Aroma of citrus and some funky brett. A rather sour one with lots of lemon and some subtle bitterness that’s getting stronger towards the finish and joins a light astringency. Medium-bodied. A good and very dry Geuze. 8/4/8/3/16=3.9
