St. Louis Gueuze

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

Bottled. Hazy golden coloured with fairly high head. Grassy and wheaty aroma. A standard lagerish palate with some plastic notes. Sugary aftertaste.

Bottle at Københavnske Øldage 2009. Cloudy golden coloured with a medium sized white head. Sweet aroma of fruits and barnyard with notes of caramel. Sweet and fruity flavour with notes of barnyard. Sweet finish.

Bottle, speelse geweten. Pours golden with a thick head. Sour dusty attic smell. Aroma of fruity esters, apple and peach. Probably because of added sugars. Only slightly sour and too sweet and sticky for a gueuze.

25cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, not complex sweet gueuze, yet refreshing, balanced, clear, good head, simpel brew

Pours a clear headless gold with an oaky sour aroma. Tastes sour at first, fruity - cheap apple juice, opening up into a sweeter almost buttery finish. Lots of carbonation, thin body. Quaffable, but sour-heads would be advised to avoid this one.

[bottle] Woody coriander aroma with some strawberry, apricot, and peach notes. Complex and fruity. Thick, glossy, white foam over a foggy, orange-chestnut liquid. Sugary sweet lotus root malt flavour with some strawberry and white grape with a little horseblanket and only a tiny hint of sourness, that is definitely not sufficient. Medium body, moderate carbonation, fruity-sweet finish.

Bottled, BB 03-2008, sampled 01-2009 (about 3 years old). Courtesy of my mom. Hazy golden/orange coloured, fair head. Nice nose, some tartness, bret, quite ok. Very sweet flavour though, very syrupy. If they would stop sweetening it, this stuff might actually be ok.

Coppery pour. Good head with nice lacing. Sour sweet gummy candy scent. Slightly sweet and slighlty puckery tastes. Well balanced. Reminds me of CranApple flavoured drink. Not bad. Oneo f the better Gueuze’s I have had.
