12.7 ounce bottle purchased a year or so ago from Hi-Times in Costa Mesa, think it was around ten dollars then, drank a few nights ago from my Drie Fonteinen glass, reviewed from notes, color is a cloudy golden orange color, one inch bubbly white head, great retention, some lacing at first too, aroma consits of tart citrus, funkiness, sour green apples, oak, and yeast, flavor starts off with tart green apples, lemon dominates the middle, more citrus in the finish with oak rounding out the aftertaste, tart, dry, and funky mouthfeel, medium bodied, appropriate amount of carbonation for the style, taste lingers, thirst quenching, perfect beer for summer time, not overly tart and refreshing more than super sour, have to say that this is an outstanding gueuze and I am happy that is readily available in stores around me, will be drinking this again, recommended

05 vintage.
Pours a nice fizzy head, hazy apricot colored.

Nose nice blended sour juice, light funk aged tart fruit like, little grassy light lemony tartness, nice funk and just a touch of oak.

Taste same, tart fruit funk, dry bready malt, little cork, great balance of sour fruit, with a bit of a sharp acidity and some lemony tartness, light wet hey and a grassy funk, very light vinous quality and a good juicy sourness with faint oak. Finish is semi flemmy and acidic, nice lingering sour fruit and light lemony flavor.

Mouth is med to light bodied, decent carb for how old it is.

Overall fantastic beer, on par with or maybe even setting the standard for an oude gueuze. Great structure, acid levels, sour flavors, long finish, just tasty.

Lovely Cali afternoon, 90 and breezy. Needed a beer for the occasion. thinking this one may just fit the bill...

Pours a picture perfect deep gold. swirling it around with nice lacing and carbonation. i can smell it instantly. Imagining my backyard is fill with lemon zest fields and straw haystacks.

Taste is nicely acidic. mellow and understated. peppery and slight spice. nice orange(y) flavor going on. so well balanced. The 'drinkabilty' factor is HIGH on this brew. i could have a few of these and not have the life sucked out of my mouth like those delicious RR sours.

Im diggin it. if im being picky, id love this brew to throw a 'juicy' bag around its neck, and take strut around if you know whata mean
