4/22 bottle. Clear gold, large white head lasts a while. Barn, laundry, old lemon aroma with some tired flowers, crackers. Plenty fizzy. Sour but not really sharp. No brooding depth to the funk but the taut finish is very nice. Overall: not wowed but impressed.

On tap at Internationella Pressklubben. Pours murky red-orange with a white head. Nice funk, some leather and old wood on the nose. Flavour has a nice tart currant character, good funk, some leather and wood. Very nice.

On tap at Pressklubben, pours a hazy bright amber orange with a small white head. Aroma has a surprising amount of dusty funk, tart currants, and some old mildew. Flavour is tart and musty, with lots of sour red currant, moderate funk, and some musty earthiness. Very tart but has a nice musty funk. For what I assume is a non-back-blended fruit lambiek, this has a nice funk. Very good.

Bottle. Color: Lightly hazy golden to orange amber, large white head. Aroma: Subtle oak wood, funk and fruity tartness. Taste: Smooth and subtle flavors. Very easy drinkable Geuze. Entry-level. Some fruity lemon and berries, oak wood, tannins, subtle rural funk. Light to moderate tart and light sweetness. Medium body, just below average carbonation. A bit monotonous. Ok overall.
