Mort Subite Oude Gueuze (formerly: Fond)

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

Orange colour with a white head. Barnyard aroma. Sour acidic flavor. Has a long sour aftertaste with some hints of bitterness.

This "Oude Gueuze" is one like many years ago !. Cloudy golden with small head and nice lace. Sour, fruit - sour and tropical (pineapple), a classy geuze. And a nice surprise. GOOD stuff.

Fantastic one of the best gueuze’s yet! Notes say: Really drinkable lambic funk,m citrus and grassy hints, not overly sour, good carbonation, super duper drinkable!

Gold with red highlights; fairly foamy with a stable, slow-to-collapse head and some lace. Very lemony, sort of rhubarb and graoefruit flavored too- why doesn't anyone cook with those two ingreidients??? Anyway, a massive and complex traditional Geuze, really true to what I imagine this style of beer should taste like, so many flavors as your palate soaks it up(!)- pine nut, raspberry,green apple, and so satisfying and quenching on a hot summer night(like tonite)! G*R*E*A*T!

Golden-orange colour, slightly hazy. Little white head, relatively stable for a gueuze. Nose of solvent, (wet) wood, green apples, grapefruit. Fairly acidic taste, but really restricted to lactic acid. Extremely refreshing. Wheat notes. Fruity and estery, something exotic. Mouthfeel is refreshing and spritzy, but with some acidic throatburn - might there be some acetic acid-sub-tasting-treshold? Aftertaste consists of fruitacids and esters vying for dominance, without ever gaining, and then slowly receding. Probably still traceable in half an hour. Beautifully restrained gueuze - unbelievable it still exists next to the filtered and sweetened rubbish the public is supposed to like.

I’m not sure where the "Gueuze Fond" comes from. The bottle I have in front of me (and it’s still 1/2 full but won’t be for long), says "Oude Gueuze" on the label Gueuze is my drink of choice and while there are other, more artisanal examples of this syle, the folks who sell Mor Subite, have nothing to be ashamed of.

The equal to almost all of the great oude gueuze; the aroma in particular is excellent; fresh hay, tons of that classic dirty diaper/band-aid, and a lot of woodiness, but not quite as woody as Hanssen's and Drie Fontainen. The taste is also very very good, tart and juicy and woody, with hints of sweetness that can become slightly artificial upon warming. All in all, however, a top notch gueuze, one I am very thankful to Ringo for sending.

Slightly hazy deep golden body with a big fluffy white head leaving some laces; Very pleasant fresh quite sharp orange nose and a vinegar hay touch as well; Super fresh very balanced deep body with a big soft carbonation on quite soft textured pleasantly malic bite; Quite long finish with the malic acids playing a leading role, more hay like soil notes, maybe the dry hop can even be detected, very pleasant and fresh finish. Great beer, the brewers at MS can really do it (when they are allowed)
