750mL bottle, sent from Beerman6686, pours a reddish purple with a small beige head. Aroma brings out loads of blueberry and purple grape skins, along with cherries, medium funk and a touch of acidity. Flavour is intense, with loads of blueberry and cherry skins, with medium acetic notes and light-to-moderate funk. The fruit skins sure impart a unique quality to this. Intense blueberries on the finish. Phenomenal.

750mL bottle, sent from Beerman6686, pours a cloudy dark reddish purple with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out fresh tart blueberries upfront, perfumey and floral notes, and light funk. Flavour is complex, with tart fresh blueberries, moderate tartness, and low acidity. The blueberries are so jammy, pithy and almost lactic. Not exactly authentic, but it's fantastic for what it is.

Growler from Bullfrog. Hazy yellow pour with a thin head and aromas of lemons and oranges. Kind of a bitter orange presence.. almost like it isn’t quite ripe yet. It’s lovely. Flavor is clean and finishes with oranges and grapefruit. Very, very nice.

Sample at Bullfrog. So I sampled both this and the regular and went home with a growler of the regular... Full disclosure... Pours a light yellow/gold with a thin head. It’s a bit hazy but nothing too bad. Aromas are spiky grapefruit and flavor is more of the same. It’s very good stuff and if I hadn’t had the orange variety this would have more than done the trick. That said, it is a bit brusk and uncouth... Normally I like that, however.

On tap at Bullfrog. Pours a murky light brown with a slight head and aromas that are completely boring. Maybe the first sniff had a bit of funk, but after first sip, it isn’t even worth trying to get a feel for the nose anymore. It all comes off as grainy dust. Flavor is another matter. It is a punchy brett beer with that grapefruit rind spunk and a bit of a muted berry presence in the background. It’s lovely...

Tasting at Matt’s; bottled 3/30/2015
Cloudy golden color, small to no head. Compared to real Gueuzes, this one has much more cheese; depending on the day it could be passable or shitty; I’ll go for passable today. Lowly carbonated, the mouthfeel is a bit too oily; sour and lemony, but also the cellar character is strong and pleasant, although the light cheese touch is less exciting.
Nice attempt, but as per the details it’s miles away from any Belgian Gueuze.

Draft at The Answer. Murky yellow with a ring of white head. Meyer lemon really comes through really nice on a clean hop base. Nice lighter tartness as well. Very nice feel with a stronger carbonation.
