Mort Subite Gueuze Lambic

Brewed by Mort Subite (Alken-Maes / Scottish & Newcastle)
Style: Lambic - Gueuze
Kobbegem, Belgium

25cl Bottle from Achelse Kluis. Clear copper colour, fluffy white head. Aroma of grapes, apples, some funky sourness, some metallic notes and caramel. Flavour is light sour apples upfront, brown sugar, some sweet fruits, light sweet finish. Light to medium bodied, a bit dry texture, prickly mouthfeel.

Bottle, somewhere in Belgium. Orange brown with a thick white head. Hardly any sourness, not a massive amount of the typical flavours for the style. Made it a very neckable beer though. Pear I think, definitely a little fruit but can’t quite say pear for sure. Which is good, I don’t like pear.

12.5 oz bottle, best before end of 2002. Foggy brown with lacy white froth. Nose is apricot, peach, toffee and pepper with hints of banana. Not really thin but feels watery; a slight tang. Tastes pretty much like lemon juice but not quite as sour. Brief pear followed by a dry finish with pith and green banana.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are sugar, lactose acid, yeast and fruits.

375ml bottle. Stinky, stinky cheese and assloads of apple cider vinegar initially on the nose. Moldy brown sugar. Nail polish remover stings the nose. Pours a highly filtered orange/brown with a thin white head. The beer tastes like fermented brown sugar. Rotten cheddar. Slightly metallic. Little barrel and little funky yeast. Medium bodied. Slightly tinny and metallic. Spritzy carbonation with an abrupt, woody finish. Faro? Incredibly unspectacular. Thanks Al!

[Bottle] Pours dark golden with a small off-white head. The aroma is huge on apple vinegar, brown sugar and some leather notes. Taste is sweet with apple and very subdued sourness. Very unusual. Fairly thin with a short, dry finish. Wow, this was a strange beer. It was probably the sweetest gueuze that I have ever had, and actually tasted a lot like a cider.

0.25L bottle, off white head with big bubbles, clear medium brown colour with orange taints, aroma of green apples and some vinous notes and a touch of yeast, distinct green apples sourness, with a touch of grapefruit sour and hints of bread, with light sweetness lurking in the back, held in check. bold sour aftertaste staying for a long time, finishing off a very good beer.

This dark golden Lambic poured with a nice off-white head and a musty fruit aroma. It is very sweet for a geueze,but there is a slightly sour finish with some carbonation.
