75CL enjoyed @ DHVL for 85 Euros. I figured the darn price keeps going up so I might as well order it before it costs more than Blauw!!!!! Was 25 a year ago. sigh. Split 2 ways and I shared the dregs with some Americans.

A – Slightly cloudy Burt orange appearance. 1 finger dense creamy head. Carbonation but nothing dense.

S – Aroma is very musty. Lemon and creamy with a dense oak and peach skin.

T – Up front, very lemon forward with kiwi, papaya and mango finish is metallic and oaky with cooper, mineral, sweetness and something chemical in nature.

M – Not a great overall mouthfeel either…just low carb, unfulfilling.

O – This is a solid Geuze today but maybe in 1-2 years time, it will improve to a level worth of the price tag. Given the rarity, price and overall taste, I can’t get this one high-marks.
