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.

Shared this 750ml bottle with Suiiy, Joshuab and ClarkVV. Smelled like Hay and a horse barn. Very tasty with a good sour finish. Best beer I’ve ever had.

750ml bottle shared with clarkvv. Pours a light orange with a fizzy white head. Nose is yeasty and grassy, barnyard maneur smell. Taste is very fresh with a light sourness to it. Lots of yeast and grass here too.

Aroma: sour, soapy, currants, unripe gooseberries, baby powder, cask, wheat leaves. Orange, half-clear, head dissipates instantly (white). Sour, burnt, some hidden sweetness, slightly bitter, lactic. Sweet and metallic aftertaste. Harsh, sharp, acrid in the throat, chemical, very fresh somehow. Feels sticky and malty after a while.

Bottle: Sour apple aroma with light vinegar. Pours a transparent golden-orange with an insignificant white head. Sour apple flavor with light woodiness in the finish. Not as tart as some of the big guys. Light cider flavor in the background.

Lemon, oak, strawberries, funky heaven. Dusty gold body with a thin white pillow of a head. Somehow this looks like Fall in a glass. Lemon, light malt, so acidic, sour, fruity. Oak, strawberries, grapes. Something in there is reminding me of a characteristic I often see in white wines. Sweetish lemonhead/funk finish. Very nice - I should have bought a 750 of this.

Pours a clear deep golden with a thin white head. Aroma has some herbal pine and wax bean notes with lots of brett and greenery. Starts with a hint of maltiness with lots of carbonation throughout and plenty of pine and spruce flavor balanced with tart yeastiness and a dry acidic finish. A very interesting and complex brew.

Poured a hazy golden yellow. Aroma is funky, dusty with notes of tart mustard. Flavor was sweet, funky and tart with a long soft bitter finish.
