Gently tart/acidic, for a gueuze. Rounded, pleasant, moderately complex. In its prime window. Drink now and over the next few years.

1/24/2013 - grafstrb Likes this wine:
-- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind over 3+ hours --
NOSE: bready; slightly tangy/lactic/pukey; hint of Belgian yeast.
BODY: very active carbonation gives a persistent and foamy white head; medium-light bodied.
TASTE: earthy – almost comes across like a tart Saison with attitude, but the lemon/orange tang brings this straight back to Belgian gueuze territory; at 7% alc., this is strong for a gueuze, but the alcohol is well-hidden; sweet white grapefruit note; the more gueuze I drink, the more I realize that, for my preferences, I don’t think any other beer style even comes close to sharing the podium: these beers are just so incredibly fantastic when they’re done right. This particular gueuze is unique in that it is a blend of 8 different lambics – one from each Horal member at the time the blend was created (there are now 11 members of Horal). HORAL is the High council for artisanal lambik style beers (acronym in Dutch for Hoge raad voor ambachtelijke lambikbieren). It was blended at the Boon facility.
