0.33 l bottle from 'Het Huis van de Geuze', best before March 2027. Hazy, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity-floral, slightly yeasty-spicy aroma of banana, pineapple, quince, some vanilla and light clove. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently fruity-floral, rather yeasty-spicy and a little grassy taste of grains, banana, honey, pineapple, quince and some clove, followed by a medium long, gently bitter, rather dry finish. Medium body, rather effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Very pleasant Tripel, rather fruit-forward and dry.

One of three special geuze editions created for the tenth anniversary of the renovation of Villa Servais, a 19th-century estate in the Pajottenland region now operated by a couple as a B&B and cultural centre; two other geuzes were made for this occasion by Boon and Ambreus. Light gusher, so be warned, but it stopped abruptly too so this may have been related to temperature contrasts. Medium sized but slowly dissolving, off-white, tiny-bubbled, shred-lacing, breaking head over a hazy, apricot-yellow blonde robe with ochre-ish tinge. Aroma of unripe green plums, pickled onions, wood sorrel, apricot vinegar, old dry sherry, damp hay, sawdust, old oak wood, gooseberries, armpit sweat, stale lemon juice, cucumber soaked in vinegar, dry strawbales, grass silage, farmland. Spritzy, crisp onset, tart-fruity with impressions of sour plum, gooseberry and gherkin, but also a softness of ripe apricot somewhere - 'mals' is the right word here; minerally carbonation through a supple cereally, bready core, soaked in fruity sourness, lime- and gooseberry-like, rounded and refreshing with a yoghurty edge. Woody tannins in the finish, but also quite some funkiness, retronasally revealing itself as freshly fermented farmland (manure), sweat and mouldy citrus peel - adding a 'heavier' dimension to a generally bright, fruity, juicy geuze. Elegant blend, typical Herberg style, with both a refreshing fruity side and a 'darker' funky side. An entertaining yet still accessible, all-round geuze, enjoyed it.

(Draft at Akkurat, Stockholm, 13 Sep 2025) Golden colour with brief head. Fruity nose with funky yeast, oak wood, apples, citrus and sweaty socks. Fruity, tart taste with notes of oak wood, citrus, rhubarb, elderflower, funky yeast and barnyard. No bitterness. Medium body, dry. Complex and quite funky, with a generous woody acidity. Very nice.

Very good, just off-white head, stable, over veiled orange-golden beer. Leather polish, horseblanket, Bretts, farmyard, green apples, seafruit, acids. Mineral-dry, farmyard. Ultra-special, mineral-hardboard, faintly hard pears (rather than the apples from the nose); leather, sawdust. Light to medium bodied, with some acidthinning; very well-carbonated, slick. Mind-blowing original flavour (this dry, crisp minerality), never before in a gueuze. I'm flabbergasted. And delighted.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Almost clear dark golden with fluffy white head. Yoghurt, oak, peach, dusty basement, oak leaves, soy milk, soft vinegar, canned tangerines, light caramel. Over medium sour, medium sweet. Full bodied. Quite weird, typical Herberg leaves and yoghurt. Not bad but not my favorite.

375ml bottle picked up in Brussels. It pours clear rich gold with a thick, fluffy and sturdy head. The aroma is fresh, spritzy, zingy, lemon - lime, gooseberry fool, crunchy white grape, kiwi fruit, some custard, light vanilla and creme brulé. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, minerality, puckering, zingy, slightly lactic, touch of acidity, sherbet, gooseberry, white grape, granny smith apple, bright, musty, white wine, mellow funk, damp hay and oak with a bone dry finish. Medium body and moderate, effervescent carbonation. A lovely gueuze. Lovely, bright and balanced, with a good depth of flavour. What's not to like?
