0.75 l bottle from 'Het Huis van de Geuze', 2017 vintage, bottled in October 2023. Clear, golden orange with a medium large, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sourish, gently fruity, quite funky aroma of overripe lemon, oak, white pepper, quite some horse blanket and leather. Hardly sweet, fairly woody-dry, gently sour, rather funky and quite fruity taste of overripe lemon, oak, horse blanket, yoghurt, hay, leather and light barnyard, followed by a medium long, gently tart, fairly woody-dry finish. Medium body, gently astringent and rather effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Quite rustic, but also fairly elegant Geuze, fantastically balanced, very complex. Outstanding!

Bottle: pours dark red with quickly dissipating pink head. Aroma is loads of berries, kind of like hefty jam. Slightly tart. Sweetish. Perhaps too sweet. Not particularly pleasant.

In der schönen 0,75er Pulle mit 1,1%. In der Nase sehr fruchtig, Pfirsich. Sehr intensiv. Im Trunk angenehm malzig, dazu wundervolle Fruchtnoten. Ganz wundervolles Sommerbierchen. Schleck.

Un dedo de espuma rosa, intenso color rubí, y aun más intenso aroma a cerezas y jarabe. Sabor bastante dulce, envuelto en acidez y carbonatación propias del estilo, que no evitan que el conjunto resulte para mi gusto empalagoso, dejando poso de dulzor en lengua. No dudo que es una muy buena muestra del estilo, pero no es mi estilo.

Medium tart, mild funk. The floral notes come through nicely, and almost some light spiced notes. Wonderful.

Sample from jerrycan at Carnivale Brettanomyces 2025, John Versyck blending workshop. Didn't take many notes, just enjoyed good beers and good company. What I do remember: In between 1 and 2 years. Malty, peach yoghurt, some green olive(?), lightly greasy

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy ruby body with a pink head that fades. Lively carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of glazed cherries, cherry cola and mashed strawberries. Flavour of cherry, tart cranberries and a sweet, moreish finish. A sweet, tangy kriek. So much flavour for the ABV.

Pours chocolate brwon, unclear, small white head. Scent is typical Lindemans, fine apple acidity and funk. Taste is full, very aromatic. Dry, tart, lemon, apple. Tad sweet (unsweetened!) , fruity touch from (I assume) the Cognac. Very, very elegant. Very refined, even more so - this could be concidered a pinnacle of refinement. Cognac works super smooth, the roastyness gives more color than aroma, but handles that touch it does give, exceptionally well. Far better than feared. Obviously this is no punch-in-the-face greatness to the likes of some more sounding names in the lambic game, but as a refined, subtile yet very well made lambic, this is exceptionnal.
