Lindemans Gueuze

Brewed by Brouwerij Lindemans
Style: Lambic - Gueuze
St Pieters Leeuw-Vlezenbeek, Belgium

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

Golden-orange in colour, large white coloured head, great lacing. The aroma is lightly sour and acidic, wheaty, some leather, some sweetness pokes through. The flavour is lacking in sourness, tartness and has a low acidic level, more sweetness than desired, grassy, earthy, some apples. Dry mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes with a light lingering sweetness, quite dry. Not nearly enough of anything that I look for in a Gueuze.

375ml bottle from <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/new-york target=blank>Beers Of The World in Rochester, New York.
No best before date.

Poured a orangish/tan color with a nice foamy white head. The nose had a champagne like yeastiness to it; mixed with sourdough, cider and lemon. The taste was tart and sour similar to the aroma combined with a vinious cider flavor and a citric dryness. The finish was also dry and tart. Drinkabilty was above average. I dont think I could put away more than a couple of these, but It was definately a nice flavor.

Tangy & citrusy, recalls grapefruit and sour cider. Nice and mellow clean mouth feel. Not my favorite gueze.

Pours a brown color with no head, this beer has a strong corky flavor. Not as sour as other Guezes, but this isn’t a bad thing at all. A very drinkable Gueze for those wanting to put their toe in the water.

Pours a clear copper color, initially quite lively and effervescent, topped by an inch or so of frothy nearly white foam. It settles down rapidly to just a thin film and ring. Tart funky aroma, a little fruity, grassy, and citric. Sweetish light malt flavor, with tangy apple cider overtones and a little candi sugar. These are more than adequately offset by the tart funky citrus flavor that I detected in the aroma. Nearly medium body, nice carbon dioxide zing, very nice tart and tangy aftertaste. Nowhere near as good as their Cuvee Rene, but still nice.

This was my first gueze lambic. It had an interesting champaigne like taste. I need to find more of these because this was a fantastic brew.

bottle from World of Beer - I must admit I enjoyed this one more then I thought I would - oak and ciderlike but not not sour (I thought it would be). I enjoyed reading about the brewing process on this one too - I will drink more Gueuze for sure

Bottle - 375ml. Hazy amber body with low carbonation and an average off-white foamy head. Nice hoppy aroma with herbal and fruity notes. Taste is well balanced and sourness is not too agressive. It carries fruity, bready and malty hints. Ends with a decent sour finish. Average Gueuze.
