St. Louis Gueuze

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

Bottle. hazy golden colour with a small white head. Aroma and taste of fruits, yeast and sugar. Too sweet for my taste.

Bottled. In my opinion this was a pale golden one, but who can tell in a dark cellar-pub...!? Kind of sourish-sweet aroma with notes of lemon. Earthy and somewhat acidic or artificial flavor with a dry finish. I think this was quite lame. Was this my third gueuze...?!

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a large white head. The aroma is sweet and sour with some green apples, citrus and wine. The aroma is the best part of this beer in my opinion. The flavour follows the aroma but is not well balanced at all, it’s way too sweet. It gets even sweeter as it warms slightly making it borderline unpleasant. Not a beer I’ll have again.

Tap at Memphis Taproom for a dolla! Pours a hazy golden orange with a medium bubbly white head. Aroma of sweet sour and funky notes, tart cherry and some light barnyard. Flavor of tart funkiness, cherries and light sweetness. Well done. Aroma coming across a bit sweet.

Clear orange color. I prefer a bit cloudy beers. Crispy, sour. Weak gueuze i guess.

Bottled, from Oud Arsenaal, Antwerpen. Deep gold, thin white head and moderate condition. Gentle funkiness in the nose, low fruitiness in the mouth with just a hint of acidity and low farmyard notes. Gently dry and bitter in the finish.

Corked 375ml bottle. 09/ 2003. Best before 10/2005. Rusty gold colour. Sour aroma with a tinge of salt. Sour start. That hint of salt in the middle. Sweet finish. Different flavour profiles but not overly complex. Harder to rate a beer when it is only ther third of a style that you have had.

Brought home from Belgium and aged for an additional year. Pretty weak for a lambic. Some barnyard and very light sourness, much more like a faro than a gueuze. Amber color and loads of sediment in large brown chunks. Some sugar and yeast.
