1991 bottle shared at RBSG LA. Dirty, orangish-brown. Very funky, sulfury, acidic nose. Very sour, rather acidic, oxidized flavor. Intersting, but this is not at its best.

1991 bottle at Akkurat. It pours clear amber, with a thick white head. The nose is toffee apple, tinned fruit, maple syrup, apple, melon and toast. The taste is caramel, toffee, tinned fruit, tangy citrus and apricot, with a dryish finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Not as sour as I normally like my geuze, but not a bad beer.

The official Odense sunny Thursday evening in June monster tasting event. 1981 vintage with a wet and pretty good looking cork. Hazy brown amber with a tiny off-white head. Complex aged aroma of cherry, raspberries, dried prunes and dates, and a faint balsamic vinegar note. Sweet and slightly tart flavour, with raspberries, dried dates and raisins. Faint cellar note, but has held up amazingly well.

Bottle at De Heeren van Liedekercke, March 2012. Unknown vintage other than it was from the late eighties. Clear golden/orange with no head. The aroma and taste was very sour. Wood, fruit, barnyard. Well balanced and well aged.

Sampled @ RBBWG Antwerpen. Cloudy orange color, small white head. Smell vinegar, cellar and sourness. Taste very acidic: ok, but not really my thing. Average mouthfeel.

Imported from my RateBeer account as De Neve Gueuze (by Belle-Vue (AB InBev)):
Aroma: 10/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 8/10, Palate: 2/5, Overall: 18/20, MyTotalScore: 4.2/5
Shouldn't really be here, as this bottle was originally brewed by "De Neve" and not by Belle-Vue, but ratebeer won't let me create a new beer for it.
Tasting @John Versycks place, with some members of the Ghent Beersociety. Jeroboam bottle (3L) expired 1991, tasted on May 1st 2010. Bottle still "hissed" on popping out the cork. Pours a darkorange and clear for the first glasses to rusty-brown and clouded at the last glasses. Quite some foam while pouring, but this dissappeared very quickly. Smells sweet, port, cointreau, little dusty, wood. Tastes quite sweet, like very ripe fruits. Finishes to slightly acidic. Hints of orange, orange-peel (more clear in the last bit of the bottle) and mandarins. A little bit spicy, peppery. Alternating game of soury and sweet tones in the aftertaste. Not a real geuze anymore (what did you expect after +-30 years) but defenitely very interesting. Thanks to John for this opportunity.

Corked bottle at De Heeren Van Liedekercke, best before 12/1999
Cloudy orange-amber color, persistent small head. There is only a light aroma of cellar, perfumy, and some acetone. The body starts getting mellow, but the flavor is very acetic, the final acidity is aggressive. Quite extreme, I wonder if it will change in another 10 years.
