St. Louis Gueuze

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

corn and sugar making it an easy drink after a lot of work. Popular with my mates, and a nudge to transition them away from macros. Not a quality geuze but I have had worse and less drinkable. Light body. The cork was a good quality.

Bottle (375ml corked). I can’t say I’ve had a good, *real* Gueuze, so can’t speak definitively. Pours a slightly hazy orange, massive foamy rocky head, very lively to start but quickly flattens - very nice lacing. Aroma quite sour (sour wine), with maltiness, oranges, pineapple, fresh-cut wood resin, and a lot of yeast - it’s a bit bitter on my nose, so I guess hops too. If mine was skunky, I couldn’t pull that odor out above the sourness. Not unpleasant, actually. Flavour is VERY sour, and not in a good way - sour wine, sour milk, sour stale malt, sour mash (grain) - aftertaste of weak expired citrus cocktail. Very flat and acidic mouthfeel, light (thank you!) on palate and not much linger. I was expecting to be challenged based on the taste, but what a let-down. Pass. 10/20 for looks and smell ONLY.

Fairly light sweet and sour aroma. Light bodied with strong sugary front. For lambic very shy in sour notes. Reminds me of very sweet sparkling wine. It seems that maker tried to make introductory, light gentle lambic but in the final result no one will be happy.

Orange amber body with a small fluffy white head. Acidic aroma with some mild funk and citrus in the aroma. Flavour is slightly sour, with a thick artificial feeling sweetness underneath. Lingering tang in the aftertaste. Smooth medium palate is a bit syrupy on the tongue.

Bottle.[Tasting session @ yespr, thanks for a great evening Jesper] Hug thick creamy like off-white head that mostly lasted. Clear sparkling body with a golden colour. Aroma of light sour barnyard notes, hint of cheese, soap and perfume. Over the palate come sweet fruity notes with light sweet wheat. Light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Light to moderated sweet flavour with light sour notes. Light sweet and sour finish.

Draught at Sankt Nikolai Pub. Not that interesting, i expected a geuze, but got a cider ??!! Golden, white head. Aroma: Grape, solphur. Taste: Green apples, fresh, grape. But too fresh and pleasant....I bet I could sell it as a Cider to Douglas !!! Do you know Douglas, well you are gonna !?!? Well I am not a cider-boy.

50cl bottle@carlsenskvarter,Odense. Clear gold with surprisingly large & lasting white creamy head. Aroma is both sweet & sour - mostly sweet. Notes of corn & fruit. Vague vinegar notes. Sticky & very easy drinkable gueze.

Amber color, sour aroma but sweet taste. Very easy drinkable, so gueuzefans wont like it :-)
