Well, maybe not "great" in the normal sense, like it tastes good while you are drinking it or anything like that. In fact, it kinda tastes sour and awful, like regular beer that has spoiled or something, and it smells even worse. I can't really say anything good about how it tastes, but all I know is that I WANT IT IN MY BELLY RIGHT NOW.
Ever since I have gotten back from my trip to Belgium, where I tried geuze (or any legit lambic, for that matter) for the first time, I have been CRAVING it. BAD . I literally get random pangs in my stomach while sitting at my desk at work each day, and then I start salivating, and the only thing that I feel can quench those feelings is a bottle of Cantillon. I am literally starting to wonder if it is brewed with crack or something. So, in conclusion, if you value your sanity, stay as far away from geuze as you can...
...that way there is more for me :P

The lambic kreik sour cherry beers, while sounding quite reprehensible, are delightful...I've yet to find a US brewery that does them correctly.

Finding it in the US can be fun. Especially Cantillon.

Cascade brewing in Portland, OR makes one hell of a Kriek. It's pricey but I think they ship to most of the US if you order directly from them. There's also a brewery in Hood River, OR that makes makes multiple krieks and around cherry season does a special vertical tasting of their prior batches.

Thanks for making my taste buds start watering, such a fantastic style. Chris Lively has a collection that you may consider murder for.

If by "fun" you mean "fucking expensive", then yes, it is quite "fun".

Yeah, a good kriek is fantastic. The cheap ones, with added sugar and artificial flavoring, are abhorrent. I haven't spent much time looking for them in the US yet, but I am definitely starting my search now.

Yep. That's exactly what I meant. And in addition to expensive. Hard to find.

Love sour beers, great combination of drinkability and flavor, very refreshing. This is my favorite:
