-- corked and caged 750mL bottle --
-- blend of 1 yo, 2 yo, and 3 yo lambics --
NOSE: expressive; tangy lemon/orange oil; tart; earthy; complex
BODY: extremely foamy; hazy tan-orange color; medium-light bodied
TASTE: medium+ sourness; very dry; somewhat bitter; light earthy lemon/orange aspect; 6% alc. not noticeable; this is excellent, but not quite as good as I remember --- it doesn’t have as much follow-through on the palate as do the oude gueuzes from Cantillon, Drie Fonteinen, Girardin, and Tilquin. As an oude gueuze: 8.0/10.

look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.5
Deep amber gold, clear as a whistle. Poured at cellar temperature into a Lost Abbey tulip, produced a half inch head of foam. Some small curtains of sticky lacing.
Light, airy, well integrated notes of fresh apple and citrus, light funk, old wood, touch of mint.
Lovely taste of green apple and lemon, oak, grassy hops. Good acidity balanced by malt/sugar sweetness. Finishes clean with a light citrus peel/tannic bitterness.
Light body with fizzy carbonation, has a crisp and refreshing mouthfeel.
Overall, a really pleasant Oude Geuze to drink, light and airy, yet subtly complex. The whole beer is so well integrated in taste, body, and carbonation--nothing is out of place and the flavors sit on a mousse of carbonation, another example of a geuze as good as some fine champagne.
