Gueuze 6 º

Geuzestekerij Odilon

This Oude Geuze offers a masterclass in spontaneous fermentation, blending one, two, and three-year-old lambics into a harmonious, sparkling presentation. The aroma opens with a complex, balanced funk featuring notes of horse blanket, aged leather, and dry hay, supported by bright citrus rind and green apple. On the palate, a refined acidity provides a refreshing sharpness, intertwined with subtle tannins from the oak barrels and a faint, honeyed wheat malt backbone. Effervescent and bone-dry, it finishes with a lingering tartness and earthy depth. The bottle refermentation ensures a lively, mousse-like texture that enhances its multifaceted wild character.

Appearance. Deep golden (SRM 5-6) with brilliant clarity. Features a thick, rocky, mousse-like white head with exceptional retention and delicate lacing. Highly effervescent with fine, rising bubbles.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Complex wild funkiness dominated by horse blanket, leather, and earthy hay. Complemented by moderate fruity esters of lemon zest, rhubarb, and white grape. Low supportive malt notes of bready wheat and a hint of honey. Very light, dry oak character; no hop aroma.

Taste. Sharp, moderate sourness provides the primary balance against a low bready, grainy malt backdrop. The flavor mirrors the aroma with layers of barnyard funk, goaty notes, and tart citrus fruit. No hop bitterness or flavor. Features a crisp, bone-dry finish with a lingering, puckering tartness and a whisper of vanilla and oak in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a soft, velvety texture despite the high carbonation. Notable tart, puckering quality on the tongue without being overly astringent. Very light alcohol warmth at 6% ABV.
