Commercial Description:
Geuze is a classic among the Belgian Ales, following spontaneous fermentation in wooden barrels (no yeast or sugar added), young and old Lambic are blended; which results in a dry, tart and fruity wine like taste. Oud Beersel Geuze Ale is the white sparkling wine of the ale world.

Sweet intensely earthy aroma. Sweet and sour flavor that ends with sour yeast. While gueuze is not my favorite style, this is quite tasty.

Hazy golden colour with a white head. Tart fruity aroma with dusty notes. Flavor has a nice blend of sweet and tart notes with a light dusty finish.

From notes 1 week old. Served in a flute glass. Slightly cloudy pale gold in color, with a perpetually replenishing head. Aroma is tart, distinctly dusty, and lemony. The flavor on this one just ’pops’, starting with an effervescent carbonation sting turning quickly to a tart, dry sourness. Lemon-sour finish. Light bodied.

Overall a very wellbalanced and easy to drink Oude Gueze. Aroma is sharp and sour, in a refreshing way. Nice balanced sourness in the flavor aswell with notes of citrus. Not overly complex but again, a good introduction to the style.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange yellow, white head and floating chunks. Aroma is funky tangy bleu cheese, musty, fruity. Flavor is sour tart, tangy bleu cheese, sour dough, fruit, slight cream cheese. Not terribly complex, but still good stuff.

Bottle labelled: best before 07-01-2025. I decided not to wait that long, and poured this hazy golden brew into a Belgian goblet as a large foamy white head developed and stuck around for a long time, although lace was limited. Distinct brett aroma, but also notes of honey, lemon, and light stone fruits. Light to medium body and a palate cleansing acidity produce a refreshing mouthfeel. Acidic and sour, yet not everly so, followed by some astringency. All in all, very pleasant, and a good choice for warmer weather. I had it with some grilled triggerfish, and it was the perfect accompaniment.

Aroma: Straightforward barnyard, bretty notes. Also hints of straw, strong fruits, niced aged character. Hint of butterscotch as it warms. Appearance: A shade darker than I would have though, also still within range at a darker gold color. Nice white head. Flavor: Brett and fruit, mirrors aroma. Not one flavor element really is in the forefront, well-balanced in flavor with typical lambic presentation. Palate: Extremely sour, but its a gueze! You don’t get used to the sourness like you do in other lambics. Overall: Good stuff, complex, packed full of flavor and aroma, with prerequisite sourness.
