Bottle shared with Thijs. Slight gusher. Hazy light golden with short lasting head. Sweet lemon, wheat, light funk, oft whisky, bread crust, toffee, loght nuts. Medium sweet and sour. Over medium bodied. Not a typical geuze, but it's quite nice.

Draft at Grote Dorst. It pours clear golden - blonde with a bubbly white head. The aroma is tangy fruity whisky character, boozey warmth, raisin, sultana, fruit cake, whisky fudge, toffee, toasty brown sugars, light funk and sweat. The taste is sweeter upfront than expected, whisky is right up there, raisin, sultana, toffee, fruit cake, creme brulé, custard, then there is a slap of acidity, puckering, lemon - lime, sherbet, white wine, gooseberry, oily and slick finale. Medium body and slick mouth feel. Love the combo here. I'm impressed it works.

Draft at Grote Dorst. It pours pretty clear muted golden with a bubbly white cap. The aroma is toasty grains, damp, musty, kitty litter, play dough, bready, here is some fruit, gooseberry and white currant. The taste is firmly dry, quite bracing acidity, enamel rip, puckering, gooseberry, sour white grape, sea buckthorn, tannin, musty, damp oak, deep funk and some chalky minerality. Medium body, flat and slick. Quite sharp up against the others we had in the lineup. A prickly unblended fella.

Aroma has musty leather and gentle low-level funk. Flavour is bracingly acidic, with light leather and hay. Flat, of course, and not particularly invigorating. Meh.

On tap at Grote Dorst. Pours clear gold with no head. Musty old wood on the nose. Flavour has mildew, moderate tartness. Not bad.

Magnum at the International Geuze & Kriek festival. Pours murky yellow with a white head. Musty apples skins and old wood on the nose. Flavour has musty apple skins, some old books, a bit woody; phenols on a closer inspection.

1.5L magnum, pours a cloudy pale golden with a medium white head. Aroma brings out musty leather, subtle apple skins, and a touch of earthy funk. Flavour has tons of apple core, phenols, and moderate funk. Lots of rotting apple core and phenols. This isn’t good.

750mL bottle at DHVL. Pours blonde with a slight haze and a white head. Musty barrels and whiskey on the nose. Flavour is tart, some must from the barrels, a bit of heat from the whiskey. Has an apple brandy quality that I'm not a huge fan of, but this is still very nice.

750mL bottle at DHVL, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has gently peated whiskey barrels, moderate funk, and some leathery notes. Flavour is much the same, with subtle peated whiskey barrels, moderate funk, and old leather. Peated, leathery, and funky finish. Very good.
