Lindemans Gueuze

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

Had this after the Cantillon Gueuze so my rating may be a bit swayed. Pours a copper color with some lacing. Aroma is funky but pretty sweet. Taste is a bit sour up front but is pretty flat overall and sugar sweet. Not as complex as my Cantillon but still a decent gueuze.

A Mes rate: 4.5% 37.5cl bottle from Dranken Geers.
Attractive looking beer. Copper / gold body with a grippy head and some nice lace. Sadly the rest of the beer is not quite so good. Artificial aroma of sweet fruit with a slight prickly sourness in the background. Again, artificially sweet flavour with some card and sherry like notes. Finishes slightly tarty (erm...) and just never really gets going. Almost as commercial as the spice girls.

12 oz, 5% bottle at St. Veronus. (I asked for a Mort Subite Gueuze - the server recommended this instead. Good call???) Clear orange-amber in colour with very little head. Aroma of under-ripe green apples and something sweet (icing sugar??). The taste is tart, of course, but there is a sweetness that shows up about halfway through and doesn’t go away until the end. Tart finish. Medium to full body. Not bad, but probably not one I’ll revisit.

Copper/amber white frothy head fades to film. Aroma full of cork, funky farmhouse, sugary sweetness. Flavor is sugar and not much else. Mouthfeel tad sticky/oily from lack of carbonation. Average at best.

Bottle. Bright copper color with and ivory head- lively carbonation. Sour, horseblanket aroma with a bit of sweetness. excessivly sweet flavor. I was in the mood for something sweet and still couldn’t bring myself to drink this beer.

25 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a diminished to lacing white head. Acidic and fruity aroma. Flavour is sweet marzipan and mellow acidic. Ends quite sweet with a little carbonation. Nice but unusual sweet.

Bottle. Courtesy of yespr. Pours hazy golden orange colour.Sweet, sour, yeasty and vinous aroma. Sweet, sour, fruitish flavour. Fruity and sour finish.

Mostly without head and a carbonated brown body . Sort of bitter aroma along with some flowery aspects. Tastes a lot like a cider with a kind of dry taste at the end. ’Tis a little on the sweet side. Has light champagne texture.
