Myself and 4 friends ordered these bottles simultaneously at the Weekend of Spontaneous Fermentation 2012<\/a>. I wanted to put them all as separate reviews but that’s a lot of new posts to clog up the feed of readers so here goes a nice digest.<\/p>\n

bottled January 2009\u00a0<\/p>\n

A – 2 finger rose red head. Gorgeous beer! Grape juice or something purple to burgundy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

S – Very faint. Hard to pick up. Wild fruits. Minor malt\u00a0<\/p>\n

T – Minor sweetness. Majority is huge krieks taste. Earthy almost tree branch taste. Dirty and cherry taste.\u00a0<\/p>\n

M – 20% carbonation. Dry fleeting finish. Light body\u00a0<\/p>\n

O – 79\/100 needs more sweet more sour. More wild. It\u2019s just a kriek wine. More like a wine than a beer.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

UPDATED: JUN 7, 2012<\/small>\u00a02007 3f vintage label gueuze\u00a0<\/p>\n

A – poured slowly. Half finger produced. Cloudy dark orange. SRM of 15.\u00a0<\/p>\n

S – flowers. Acidic. Quite a bit of vinegar. Scent. Pine and tropical fruits. Plums and big pear scents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

T – Gigantic sour in your face. Amazing! Peaches, pears, vinegar\u00a0<\/p>\n

M – covers your entire tongue with tart 50\/50 carbonation. Insanely dry finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

O – Remarkable. Worth the price? Probably not. Still, an upgrade to the standard oude gueuze\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

A – quarter finger head. Faded fast SRM of 4 light golden.\u00a0<\/p>\n

T – big citrus zest. Honey and pumperknjcke bread. Oats and a fading wheat profile. Mild bit of cheese. Like goat cheese. Slight apple an pear taste\u00a0<\/p>\n

M – 30% carbonation. Veery dry fleeting wheat and Amarillo hops running away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

O – would have loved to have this fresh. 89\/100. Very tasty. Wheat is a bit of a miss for me though. It was nice to have.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
