4.05/5 rDev -0.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

From a 750 ml (bottled 02 MAA 2012) into a tulip.

A-The beer poured an amber color with orange overtones. It was mostly clear, with a few floaties in the bottom of the bottle that I let escape. A gentle pour produced a solid 3-plus finger head of dense, off-white foam. The head stuck around for quite a while.

S-I picked up a funky, earthy smell punctuated by tart apples, lemon, and orange. Pleasing, but not all that powerful or inspiring.

T-The beer was quite sour with tart, lactic notes dominating. There was an earthy, funky, wet undercarriage to go along with the tart citrus fruits. While the taste was complex, it was not quite as concentrated or interesting as some of the better gueuze varieties out there.

M-Drinkable for the amount of sour-power this beer has. The carbonation is noticeable, but really well suited to the flavor and weight of the beer. The finish is subtly puckering.

O-I suppose this beer lived up to its billing as a drinkable, if not unique brew. I was not bowled over by it, but it paired pretty well with the smoked salmon burgers I had for dinner. An easy drinking gueuze, if there is (or should be) such a thing.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

375mL (bottled 10/6/2011) into a tulip. Pours a clear coppery golden color w/ a big fluffy white head, vigorous carbonation.

Aroma is funky and vaguely sour, almost saison-like. Earthy, spicy, a little musty.

Taste is sharply acidic up front, lemony with an underlying sweetness, and then more sour on the finish.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied w/ a semi-dry finish. A little prickly from the carbonation.

Overall a pretty solid version of the style and certainly a good introduction, but better ones are readily available.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

Bottled: 09 NOV 2012

Fairly clear gold with some random flaky bits floating around, topped by a thin, wispy head. Smells a bit grassy and earthy, like wet hay and flower petals, along with barnyard, mustiness, spice, and some dry wood. Tart, earthy flavors - not extremely sour or acidic. Floral, dusty lemons, and mineral notes. Very crisp, dry, light, and fluffy mouthfeel with a refreshing puckering quality. This is good and certainly has all the right elements for a Gueuze, though no standout characteristics. For the price, laying a couple bottles away to have a few years down the road is a no-brainer.

4.23/5 rDev +3.7%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

A:
Bright Glowey gold colored with a small white head. Not a lot of retention and once the head fades you never see it again. Very pretty color though.
S:
Fermented tangy juicy fruits-cherries-oranges-apples-lemon-raspberry and light cereal grains. Very fun, sunny, and stinky.
T:
Flavor is tangy and refreshing. Earthy, fruity, funky and appealing. Fermentd black cherry and light tingly even bitterness.
M:
Very swirlable in the mouth. Perfect super fine carbonation bubbles.
O:
Very nice.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

37,5 cl poured into a lindemans glass

A - a clear bright pale orange with a small white head of foam. Dissipated rather quickly.

S - lots if acidity at first. A bit of barnyardy funk. Slight sweet bready malts. A little bit buttery.

T - very similar to the nose with bright acidity and a very slight malt sweetness. Some green apple character in the middle. Some funkyness toward the end. Dry and tart finish.

M - medium bodied. Very crisp with bright carbonation.

O - I just wasn't crazy about that little funk bit in the end but otherwise a very refreshing beer for a sticky summer eve.
