375ml bottle, best before 01/03/2021, served in a big wine glass at around 60F.

Hazy apricot orange color, with a modicum of whitish froth that leaves some lace. Some swirling builds the head up to a nice quarter inch. Looks good.

Smells like tart fruit (grapefruit, mango... papaya?), wet rocks, feta brine, old barrel, and earthy damp dead leaves. Quite aromatic. Deeper down, hints of leather and bubblegum. Bright and appetizing, with great complexity.

Tastes delicious! Surprisingly, there are some earthy, leafy hops, along with a good dose of fruit salad and minerals. Perfectly tart, dry, and refreshing. Lingering finish of sour mango, with salinity and a touch of leafy bitterness, completely dry so I must drink more. Should have bought a 750.

I was looking forward to trying this, but it exceeded my expectations. The world is a better place with this new gueuze in it!

750mL split.

A: Golden orange with a lazy white head. Clings to glass.

N: Tons of oak, acidity, some cinnamon and lavender and coriander. Lemon zest and grapefruit sourness. Lots of yeast and funk. In addition to the oak, it has a cedar element.

T: Tons of sour lemon and lime zest. The wood is quite prominent. Balanced with a nice malt presence/sweetness.

M: Light and incredibly drinkable.

O: Gets better and better the more I drink. Must age to see its development.
