Lindemans Gueuze

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

golden-amber color. big foamy off-white head that leaves quickly. aroma is quite like the other fruit lambics by lindeman’s - sweet, yeasty, sour, and not much more. good carbonation, medium mouthfeel. very sweet and sour, slight yeast finish. more sweet and not as complex as I’d like a gueuze to be.

I am a huge fan of Lindemans. I always have some around my house, though due to price concerns I do not allow myself to drink through it very fast. Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer pours a dark golden amber color with a large creamy white head and a decent amount of sediment. The aroma is very sour, tart, and vaguely fruity. The flavor is very sour, tangy and tart. There is a mild underlying sweetness. There is a decent fruity flavor though distinct fruits are not noticeable.

A thin white head and a light golden brwon body. The aroma is funky barnyard with a little light fruit. Apples, pears and some lemon peels in the smell. The taste is lemonade with a sweet honey and sugary finish. There is a hint of dry cobwebs. Lots of carbonation. This is too sweet. The soda of gueuzes.

Bottled. Hazy amber, thin and firm head. Sourish and yeasty aroma; almost sugary. Sourish and sweet (?). Notes of cherrie-seeds. Too thin and sweet.

Bottle. Slightly sweet aroma - cherry and vinegar aromas most apparant. Dark tan color - clear with decent, quick collapsing head. Tart sweet cherry and apple flavor - slight hint of vinegar - crisp and acidic. On the non-traditional side of the lambic debate.

In my geo, this is rare, but available if you look. I’m a fan of gueuze and while, if I lived in Belgium, I’d probablly not drink this often, it’s the best I can find over here. It’s just sour enough (in a good way) but too sweet for my tooth.

Very very sour tart aroma. Body is a foggy light amber color with a lasting bubbly white head. Taste is too sweet and not tart enough for the style. Very drinkable though. Lemon and Grapefruit.

Pours nut brown with a medium off-white head; fair thin lacing. Aroma of old malt, grapes and berries with an oak nose. Flavor is grape and berry with an oak aftertaste. Palate is light and fizzy.
