De Gouwe Boezem

Brewed by Huisbrouwerij de Gouwe
Style: Belgian Ale
Waddinxveen, Netherlands

Bottled - thanks to Otje for this one - A very hazy peachy orange coloured beer with agone in a jiffy off white head. The aroma is very yeasty and peppery spicy. The taste is also predominantly yeasty and spicy, although the citricity from the hops comes through fairly nicely. A bit rough around the edges but deent enough.

Golden pale beer with a small head. Smells fruity and yeasty with some caramel. Tastes bitterish, sweetish, fruity and somewhat herbal. Not bad.

(bottle) Hazy and pale golden colour with a thick lacy foamy white head. Dusty herbal hops aroma with a grassy touch, slightly sweet malty and citrusy. Fruity and malty taste, light to medium body, lively carbonated mouthfeel. Dry and bitter herbal hoppy finish. Rather unspectacular but well-rounded and quaffable. Thanks bierkoning for the sample !

Blonde and cloudy. Enormous lasting foamy head. Lime and vinegar aroma with a bunch of flowers. Hoppy, flowery flavor: oily, lemon. Hint of detergent. Tastes a bit like one of those hoppy British IPA’s

Light bitterness, somewhat sweet but nicely balanced. Compared to a lot of other Dutch beers at the PINT festival (24th of July) not bad at all.

Slightly hazy orange-yellow beer; thick and dense, whipped-cream like head. Sunflower seed in the nose, a bit honey-ish, ending grassy. Mix of coloured & pale malts. A bit of unripe fruit sourishness floating around it all. Rather light MF, burning finish. Light beer, in itself not bad, but very unspectacular. I think that "Gouwe Boezem" is a rather dubious name for a beer...

Bottled. Soapy and dusty lemon aroma. Cloudy yellow, white head, good lace. Sweet, pretty sour, very metallic bitterness, malty, hint of citrus. Dusty, soapy and a bit sticky, medium body.
