Corked and caged bottle with 2022 stamped on the cork from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep, honey orange color with no head and slight visible carbonation in the glass. Musty, cobwebby nose with notes of horse blanket, aged chese, dried honey, wood and aged lemon zest. There is a briny note that rears its head as well. Lower carbonation on the palate with some notes of aged vinegar, dried lemon zest and lots of wood. A touch of dried honey mid-palate that leads into a tart, musty and slightly bitter finish.Very different from some of the other gueuze's from other producers and blenders.

Clearing out an older bottle to make room for some new ones. Still a hint young but delicious nonetheless 😻

Subtle pop, slightly cloudy orange, lots of very fluffy off-white head. Smell is funk, dried lemon peel, oak. Quite highly carbed, not super light. Taste is very dry, oaky, some good sourness and plenty of mineralicity. Pleasantly balanced.

Oude Geuze Bottle very kindly shared by Gunther B. ! Presumably 2005 vintage ( not 100 % sure as I didn't keep the cork :/ ) Pours a clear, darkened gold. Scmall to no head. Scent is mushroomy, old wood. A bit past it's prime here. The taste however... Is amazing. Fully matured acidity, very aromatic, bready and fruity. Slightly acetic features (very mild) . Absolutely stunning complex and long finish. A true gem !

Jesuz Christ! Seawater, citrus, cheese and pretty much almost all you’d ever want from anything ever.
