Commercial Description:
As with all Gueuzes, Hanssens is a mixture of several vintages to produce a lambic which is refreshingly fruity.

This is the result of blending different lambics of different ages. The second fermentation takes place inside the bottles and therefore they are stored for minimum six months in constant temperature kept cellars.

Foam Rangers tasting. Gold color with average head. Barn-y funk with citrus and oak. Flavor is sour citrus with great acidity and clean finish.

(2/28/08) Bottle at Staminee de Garre in Bruges. Best before 8/2027. Hazy golden with a collapsing white head. Barnyard, citrus and some wood in the aroma. Sour fruity flavor with some sweetish hints of sugary residue. Medium-bodied. Some more cellar time wouldn’t hurt but already very pleasant and refreshing when rather young.

This one ties with Oud Beersel as my favorite thus far- without having tried Drei Fonteinen or Girardin yet- they are impossible to find around here, I will have to travel to get any. Oh- the funky, leathery, barnyardy smell- heavenly. The acidity is perfect, flavor is indescribably good- I could drown in a vat of this beer, I will be sure to have some on hand at all times- This will be what I ask for on my death bed-

Clear golden with medium white head. Sour aroma with barnyard, wood and grapefruit notes. Sour complex flavor with leather, grapefruit and barnyard notes. Very refreshing. Lovely!

750 mL bottle. My first gueuze (or real lambic of any kind) so here goes. Butterscotch colored with a fizzy effervescent head. Light, earthy, sour aroma. Same thing goes for the taste. I like a little sourness, but not this much. It seems like a good beer, but it’s not my thing.

Bottle 37,5 cl. A light fruity aroma. Rich flavour with notes of fruits - especially sour grape - and with a dry and buttery finish. The colour is deep moisty yellow with a clear white head. A very drinkable gueuze

375 ml bottle. Aroma is about equal funk and light stone fruit. Copper gold color with white smear for head. Medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Flavor is sour fruit, yeast and wood. Finish is astringently dry. Tart isn’t in it! One of the more pleasant Geuzes I’ve enjoyed.

Bottle. Poured a clear golden-orange color with a thin white head that diminished to a ring. Funky aroma of sour fruits, yeast, and that classic barnyard. Nice semi-sweet entry runs into a sour, dry fruitiness with yeastiness throughout the background and on the finish. Really nice sourness that bites the tongue and dries the palate. Nice and funky, just the way I like it.
