Lindemans Gueuze Cuvée René

Brewed by Brouwerij Lindemans
Style: Lambic - Gueuze
St Pieters Leeuw-Vlezenbeek, Belgium

Pours hazy golden with a thin white head. Fruity - wheaty aroma. Flavor is puckering sourness, fruits, lemon, a little grass. Very enjoyable.

Musty, tart aroma with citrus, grass, barnyard. Decent depth. Big sour, tangy flavor with lemon, grapefruit. Became somewhat creamy as it warmed. Refreshingly tart. Not amazingly complex but tasty.

75cl bottle from Rollin’ Oats (Tampa, FL). Pours a generally clear golden amber color with a thin whisky white head that settles slowly to virtually nothing. Aroma is sweet and fruity with notes of ripe fruit, fresh flowers, spice, some grass, hay and yeast notes. Flavor is tart and fruity with a slick mouthfeel. Notes of ripe tart fruit, some citrus, and faint honey and spice flavors as well. Generally light bodied with a fruity tart finish.

Bottle. Tart fruity aroma. Hazy golden yellow body, small white head. (Where do other reviewers get "dark amber"? Does the body color change over time?) Flavor is very tart, yeasty, unripe fruit, vinegar. Complex sour finish. Very refreshing.

0,7l Bottle: Red colour, witha red head. Aroma of citrus,fruits, flowers,sournes in the end. Flavor is almost the same, a bit grape fruits too, and had a mild, smal body, nice fruity finish.

12oz green glass bottle with cork and crown cap. No date. Appearance: Poured into Duvel chalice. Light white head that recedes quickly leaving a little lacing. Cloudy orange-tan, like iced tea with lemonade. Some sediment, but not a lot. Nose: Sour fruit esters. Sour pear, wild lilies, wheat, hot river rocks, minerals, and a little doghair or horsehair smell. Palate: Intensely sour! Wow! I’ll continue my earlier analogy about iced tea with lemonade...except it’s more like lemonade discolored by iced tea. Light bodied with a little, quick, carbonation. Flavors of lemon juice, pear, granny smith apple, pine (cut wood), lemon zest, lime zest. Notes: Really sour! Did not expect that from the same company that provides us with sticky-sweet candy beers. The body is a little lacking in texture, but still, this is probably the best beer they make (that we get here).

750 ml. corked. Intensely carbonated. I could hardly pour the darn thing without it spilling over. Rocky, frothy head. Clear orange in body color. Aroma of yeast, tartness, sweet, citrus, and some sourness. Flavor is sweet, tart, sour, citrus, and grapefruit. Acidic, medium body, dryish. I drank this bad boy during the LOST season 5 premiere. Good stuff.

(Sample Date: 11/30/2008 Source:Other) Sampled at 3rd Annual Richmond Industry Gathering. 1994. Very dry and sour with light fruity aroma and lots of oak. Spritzy with light body and medium mouth feel. Finish was quite dry, fruity and sour. Wonderful beer.
