Vintage: April 2005 Softer palate structure than I expected but still very good. Good sour fruits right through the palate but doesn’t really stray into the intense territory. Good grapey notes as well and finishes with some minerals and pepper. Stil some years to go yet.

Vintage: December 2004 Dark in colour for the style; kinda dirty orange. Thin head with decent density. Shows a lot of power with classic sour fruits and bitting acidity but well balanced and very drinkable at the same time. Persistent citrus drive on the finish. (e.5.0 @ ’t Brugs Beertje).

Vintage: 1997 Thin head, well built, cloudy orange body. 9 years of bottle age becomes very evident on the nose with old, grapey, wine-like notes and a hint of sour fruit. Palalate is something special as the bracing acidity and sourness evident in so many young gueze has all but disappeared. More vinous and mild sour notes drive the palate and plenty of fizz keeps the beer dancing across the mouth. Just a hint of volatile acidity. (Oct 2006, 4.0) (e8.00 750ml @ Brewery cafe)
