Belle-Vue Gueuze

Brewed by Belle-Vue (InBev)
Style: Lambic - Gueuze
Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium

Pours amber with small head. Head disappear in no time leaving only a small ring. Nose is lactic, slightly sour with some fruits. Not bad but not much complexity. Taste is light sour, acidic. Some peaches and apples.

09-08-07 250 ml bottle. dark golden colour. big white fading head. taste is not what i hoped, not real sour or sweet, kind of papery...

The bottle looks boring, the beer in the glass not very zippy, small head. Starts quite sweet, modest fruity like apricot. Finish moldy and chemical. Not my favourite!

Poured a semi dark gold color with a thick white head. Good lacing. Smells of sour cherries and yeast. Taste wasn’t pleasing and hardly drinkable. Cherry notes but mostly sour apple with a ton of fizz. Sweet and sour were too off balance. I thought I would like this one but was disappointing.

Bottle, 25cl. The beer has a dark golden, but clear colour, with some bubbles like you have in some lager beers. But it is presented is a commercial lager beer glass with ribbles, which makes the beer look less qualityful, which it definitely isn’t. There is a very clear smell of lambic: it smells sour, but also fruity. The overall smell however is a bit monotone. The taste goes a bit similar: you have the sour taste of a lambic, but also the fruity and sweety taste, but there it stops: the beer doesn’t serve further tastes and doesn"t surprise anymore. Overall a good beer to drink, but with some imperfections in taste and smell.

250 ml bottle from a Belgian supermarket. A near-clear, orangey-golden pour. Mostely diminishing low dense white head. Candysugary fruit aroma. Taste has a artificial cherry-like fruitiness with some sour undertones. Notes of almonds. Quite watery texture. Short sourish-fruity ending.

25cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, not complex brew, yet refreshing, balanced, clear, rocky head, nothing special

Bottle, 5.5%. Weak citric aroma. A little earthy and caramelly. Clear dark amber colour. Big stable creamy tan head. The flavour is a little citric and lemony with some caramel and a little spicy aroma hop.
