500mL bottle, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with tons of vinegar, lots of acid, and tart pears. Flavour is very acidic, with glue, a little acetone, and tart pear skins. This is rather harsh and acetic. Lacking any complexity or refinement. Not impressive.

Slight haze. Blonde. No head, pours quite flat. On the nose, there's pears. It's quite sharp in the acidity, the pears are subtle, and then floral notes minimal. This isn't really a strong one, in terms of just being sharp and with limited character.

Whoooo tons of peaches, interesting tart finish but lordy tons of peaches upfront. Wonder how these would age.

2019 Edition. Apparently a very hyped up release in the states, but I never even heard about it. Pricy stuff, to get here in Europe, so thats immidiately a negative compared to other geuze's ( even 3F regular Oude Geuze is about 4-5 times cheaper ), but the fact that its geuze-style (geuze inspired) i'll have to have this anyways. Thnx for sharing, Bas! Found in Borger Bottles (Antwerp). The beers pours clear, bit darker blonde. Small white head. Smell is funly, woody, mildly acetic, brett. Very nice! Taste is refreshing, sharp, relatively dense body (medium full) . Medium high carbo (not too high) Very nice sourness level that builds up, but never overpowers. Perhaps a tad to much citric acid (lemonsour) to my own opinion, but not half as bad as Timmermans (actual lambic) provides. Acetic acid is very low. Funk forward, with medium intense to intense woody notes. Very nice, blindly I could easely be fooled to call this a real Oude Geuze. Which places them immidiately in the top of the US examples ! Worldwide, it's still not as smooth or complex as the likes of the top examples (3f, girardin, oud beersel, Boon, … ) but surpasses some of the artisinal, real lambic brewery's with ease. T>o bad for the pricepoint. as a 50 cl, it's right market price (compared with the other geuze's ) would be between 5 and 10 euro's. currently, its 3-4 times as much, which simply doesn't work for the european market. In US, where this isnt imported (cheaper) but Oude Geuze is (more expensive) the difference should be much lower, and this would make a great alternative !
