Lindemans Gueuze

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

Bottle. Hazy golden colour with a small white head. Aroma of sour fruits, taste of sour fruits with sugar. On the sweet side for a gueze.

Poursa cloudy beige hue with a small, frothy yellow head. Flavors of apple cider and apples and more apples. Not overly tart, and the yeast funk is very mellow in this one. A perfect gueuze for people that haven’t had one before I like this beer!

A sweet, sour apple note greets my nose as I pour this beer into my 25cl tulip glass. The head starts out a finger and a half thick, despite a reasonable pour and is a pale, off-white color. The beer is an amber, slightly copper tinged color that shows a lightly hazy, copper color when held up to the light. A deeper inspection of the nose yields a candy sweetness, that for some reason I wasn’t expecting from even a Lindemans product. Green apple candies really is an apt descriptor for the aroma as that is the most noticed part. There is a touch of lactic character if you really dig for it and perhaps a touch of dusty malt.

Quite sweet tasting, but has a bit of tartness to it and it does not seem to be quite as sweet as the standard fruit beers from Lindemans, though it is still quite sweet. This finishes with a touch of musty, damp earthiness, which, with the sweetness, is about all that ties this to traditional Lambic. This tastes mostly like green apple syrup (jolly rancher in liquid form). This has a viscousness and heft that in combination with the sweetness makes me thing of syrup.

In the end I can’t get past the candied apple character, it drowns out everything else and is overly sweet. This doesn’t taste horrible, it doesn’t have serious flavor flaws, it just is overly simplistic in its sweetness and not very good. This just isn’t my cup of tea.

What a tastey beer! Clear, translucent orange colour with a scattered crinkley white head. Aromas of fermented apples and gin. A very well carbonated mouthfeel with light, sweet refreshing flavors. Finishes clean and crisp.

yeasty haze pour with lots of great aroma nice head fruity tart aroma grapes citrus and fruity notes nice dry finish

Draught. Very low white head. Clear amber body. Apple, plum, lemon aroma. Relatively sweet plum caramel falvor with acidic notes. Low carbonation and a short aftertaste. For a gueuze this one is very sweet.

Aroma: wine; sweet,tart,dry. Taste: Mmm...dry, green apple. As soon as it is sweet, dryness comes in to wash the tongue. Yeast. I know some cider heads who might like this.

se acuerdan de la ultima alucinacion? a pues aqui tuvimos la suerte de probar varias cervezas de belgicas que estaban pura belga. asi que no pueden fallar en los ratings aunque fue hace rato y ni me llamo la atencion cerveza con sabor a frutas.
