St. Louis Gueuze

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

Sour, tart, light oak aroma. Orange/amber colour, off-white frothy head, good lace. Starts sweet and sour, light oak, sourness disappear quickly. Little bitterness in the finish.

Amber coloured. Sweet and aromatic. Too sweet to br really good.

Wine vinegar sour aroma. Hazelnutcolour with low carbonation. Quite sweet then has a little sourness but not much. Thanks Mal3.

Although it’s a bit Champale-like in taste, body and appearance, it’s still a refreshing change from the usual beer. It’s just not up to snuff: it’s too thin, too sweet and too simplistic. Loses points for the metallic notes.

Tasted in Toronto. Obtained from LCBO. Tasted in Corsendonk flute. Appearance is amber/yellow, clear with a sustained head. Aroma is on the sweeter side, not cidery or acidic as I would expect with a Gueuze. Flavour is a bit off balance with fairly intense sweetness considering the style.

A Mes rate: Draught at Lowlander.
Mid brown with a slim white head. Pleasant enough aroma. A nice light sourness, reasonable hoppy notes and a faro like candy sugar sweetness. Flavour is all big tangy sugar and very artificial. Sweet bready finish that is surprisingly dry considering. At best, a tolerable commercial gooz.

375ml bottle, 4.5% a/v Pours oak aged whiskey colour with a well formed tan head. While it looks like many beers it sure doesn’t smell like it, almost like a heife but with more lactic bitterness on the nose. It tastes unusual, a somewhat citric fruit flavour off the start which rapidly turns into a banana and wheat type of flavour. Very weird really, but something I would try again.

Very commercial gueue, although it looked appealing. Very sweet in the aftertaste, didn’t like it that much.
