Lindemans Gueuze Cuvée René

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

750ml Bottle at Uber Tavern in Seattle, shared with after4ever. Pour is hazy orange yellow with a disappearing white head. Aroma is acidic sour with sweetness. Some barnyard, but certainly not the dominant feature. Taste is really sharp, acidity grabs you right away, then gives way to a very pleasant sourness and sweetness. I actually enjoyed this quite a bit, and was a great wake up call to the taste buds. I wish i would have paired this with some food, though.

750 ml bottle @ Kristiansand Lambic festival 2007 (Vintage 1994) Golden body with a nice dense white head. Aroma is just lovely, complex vinegar with cellar notes. Flavor is balanced, acid and fruit, not sweet, very tart. This beer is complex and well matured, a lot better than the recently sampled 2003 vintage.

750 at Uber. Pours deep cloudy orange/gumdrop amber with a thick, tightly bubbly white head. Head shows serious blotchiness. Huge fruity (apricot/white pitted tree fruit) nose, blended with fairly sharp and pronounced funk. Multiple nucleation columns rise continuously as long as there’s beer in the glass. Big fizzy, medium-bodied attack with bountiful funk and fruit all over the flavor profile until the last drop crosses the back of the tongue--this is a sweet and funky beer, very refreshing. Not as overpowering as many a lambic, but still well beyond the training wheels stage.

This went down very easily. Musty lemon on the nose, lovely mild sourness in the taste. Lemon, apple and pear all in the taste though the body seems a bit thin.

Bottle 2005, purchased at beverages for less in Santee Ca. Awesome Gueze. Maybe even one of the better I have tasted. Sour, and little sweetness. Some acidity but nice.

Another gueze taste for me. Coludy colour with sourness taste, It is hard for to understand this taste of beer. For me still very different taste. Not like other classical malty and hoppy beers. Intresting beer.
