I had blend 85 season 19/20, spontaneously fermented, and blended with one, two and three year old lambics.
Look: amber with a thin white head
Aroma: green apples and pears, oak and hay
Flavor: I can taste green apples and pears, oak and hay, it's tart and sweet
Body/Overall: softer than most lambics I've had. I think it is thirst quenching and very good.

A 750ml corked and caged bottle, blend°85, season 19/20, bottled on 1st December 2020. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen gueuze glass.
Appearance: A hazy golden orange colour with a very thin white head that dissipated almost immediately, while leaving only sparse to no lacing.
Aroma: Tart, green apple, citrus zesty, lemon, lime, hay, dried grass, oak, funky.
Taste: Lightly sour, tart, lime, lemon zest, green apple, oak, damp wood, funky.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
Overall: Easy drinking with enjoyable aroma and flavours, but my preference would definitely still be the regular Oude Geuze.

750 ml "champagne" bottle, at local tasting, thanks to abemorsten. ABV is 6%. Deep golden to orange colour, moderate carbonation, no head. Strong musty and funky aroma, notes of horse stable, hints of oak. The flavour is sharp and funky, hints of bitter cider apples, peppery finish.

I really love the funk and bret of the beer. Classic Fonteinen notes, but they come through even more clearly without the carbonation present. Very dry but not overly tart. I could drink this all day on my patio if I could afford it. I’m glad I have another bottle.

4yo, 2015, 37.5 cl bottle
Hazy orange-amber, barely existential foam.
Nose is classic gueuze, barnyard, some citric notes, a hint of stone fruits.
Taste is smoother than average.. soft lactic acid, yet dry. I think it is pointless to lavish standard Gueuze markers here such as hay etc as if they would differentiate... This is not *that* unique, merely a very well executed softer version of a classic gueuze. Very low carbonation.

This is a 12 year old bottle I just found in the basement.
L: copper amber beer has a slight haze and a very slight fizz - looking more petillant than sparkling
S: balsamic, fruit, a bit of wet horse blanket, faint barnyard, a hint of tobacco, traces of vanilla and nuts, over ripe fruit and a pinch of mint
T: tart, slightly bitter, Granny Smith apples, balsamic, lemon, lime, nuts, oaky, with a slight diacetyl slickness and a tannic, oaky slightly astringent finish
F: medium light body and very low carbonation.
O: My only regret is that I had but one bottle

Poured from fridge temp. Pours a golden orange with fairly limited head. Aroma is huge citrus - lemon and orange. Sweet candy, and a bit of horse saddle. Taste is really nice and smooth. Not too bitter and not too sweet. The notes combat each other in a nice way. Definitely has some barnyard funk. Overall really nice, with a medium and somewhat dry mouthfeel.
