Notes:
Oude Gueuze Tilquin à l’Ancienne (6.0% alc/vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer, produced from the blending of 1, 2 and 3 years old lambics. It is unfiltered and unpasteurized, and refermented in the bottle for at least 6 months. The lambics used were fermented and oak aged in our installations. These lambics are coming from worts brewed by Boon, Lindemans, Girardin and Cantillon breweries.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.5

2010-2011 bottle, 12.7 oz, $13, shared with a friend, poured into a snifter.

Appearance: Golden orange hazy color with an off-white head of 1 finger, decent lacing and retention.

Smell: Sour grapes and apples, some sour raspberries.

Taste: Puckeringly sour, with sour grapes, granny smith apples, strawberries. Taste lingers pretty well. Really coats the tongue with sourness. Well-balanced with fruit-flavor profile, very appealing.

Mouthfeel: Easy drinking as hell. Smooth, crisp, medium-bodied to light, a nice lightly sticky finish. Moderate carbonation.

Overall: A really nice Gueuze. Definitely underrated. Glad to have this available stateside. No extra points for barrel-aging elements or additions, but a very solid overall gueuze. Well-enjoyed.

look: 5 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.75

Poured into a tulip. Bottle dated 05/03/2021.

A:Perfectly clear golden, amber with an orange hue through the middle. A thin, maybe 1/4 inch, bone colored head with some impressive staying power for a Gueuze. Fine textured bubbling can be seen rising up constantly. Really no room for improvement here. 5

S:Earthy but in a fresh way like a walk through a citrus grove during a sunshower(Lol). Salt water taffy comes to mind along with some acidity coming through. 4.75

T&M: The low pH is very noticeable and forces salivation at an incredible pace. Sweaty start with a well balanced effervescense but mellows out into a typical barnyard Gueuze profile. This one finishes out nicely with some clean citrus notes. 4.75-4.75

O: This is definitely a top 10 Gueuze for me. The mouth watering quality is just out of this world, its ridiculously refreshing and the head stuck around for the entire time I enjoyed this brew. I will definitely buy again. 4.75

Pours a lovely mango-yellow with good head/lacing.

Smell is delicious and luscious stonefruits. Almost hoppy in that fruitiness, but I know it's really yeast driven. A lovely blue-cheese funk. There is a bit of rubberiness and almost a macro, ricey quality. Also get spanakopita.

Taste and mouthfeel has that dry and watery fruitiness and stone fruits. Definite apricot.

Think blue cheese and quince paste, but with the extremes of salt and sugar replaced with sourness. A lovely gueuze.
