St. Louis Gueuze

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck
Style: Lambic - Gueuze
Ingelmunster, Belgium

Tasted 2007-07-22. Fresh bottle, 25cl. Golden beer with creamy head. Sour, pineapple, barnyard, champagne. Fresh taste! OK gueuze, but better exists!

Bottled. Deep golden colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is sour apricot and wood along with some slight sweetness. Flavour is apricot, other fruits and quite sugary. Some slight wooden hints too.

A pleasent geueze, which is nice for newcomers, so if you are for the Cantillons then forget this. But refreshing it is in the summerheat with notes of sweet sourgrapes. Sparkling darkorange hazy head with summernotes as flowers, herbal and sourfruits. For my wife!

Golden with a tiny white head. Sour with vinous tones. Friuty with a dry finish. Medium to light body.

corked 375ml bottle. again, same as the mort subite geuze, this is lacking in the tart, and sourness. its thin, and wattery, not very pleasant.

Bottle - 250ml. Hazy gold body topped with a thin white creamy head. Good hoppy aroma with herbal, flowery, and apple notes. Its malty taste is rather thin and ends with a short sour finish. Not impressed...

Light amber and hazy in colour. Moderate prickly carbonation. Aromas of lemons, wet leather, and wet cedar wood. Very different in the mouth with notes of sticky sweet pale malts, stale hops, plastic, and apple skins. Too sweet and not funky or complex enough. At least it smelled not too bad. Thanks to lubiere for the extra!

Bottle. Golden brown with a small head. Aromas are sugar and light fruit with good acidicy. Flavours are initially sweet with brown sugar and some fruit. Some caramel with citrus. OK.
