St. Louis Gueuze

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

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

Clear amber coloured beer with small off-white head and lots of carbonation. Fruity herby aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is soft sour sweet. Ok.

Nice geuze for those who are unfamiliar with the style and are affraid of the funkiness and tartness of the unsweetened ones. Way too sweet for those who already know they are lambic lovers.
Pale amber, rather big white head for a geuze. Aroma quite sour, fruits, caramel, light barnyard. Flavour is light, rather (too) sweet, caramel, hints of crisp apple, lightly sour. Finish mostly sweet, some caramel. (from 33cL bottle)

375 ml bottle from Manitoba Liquor Mart Brandon. Brown/orange colored pour with an eggshell colored head. A bit of a funky aroma that smells like lemon juice, the artificial kind that comes in bottles. Flavor is much more subdued that the aroma. Slightly tart but not funky, notes of lemon. The finish is actually a bit sweet. Not bad but a bit uneventful.

Bottle from LCBO. Poured clear golden yellow with small head. Very carbonated, overloaded with sweetener, not much else to it. Overall decent Gueuze.

Bottle. Bright golden color, small white head. Aroma of grapefruit rind. taste is lemon and white pepper. Not bad.

440 ml bottle in Germany but found in Belgium. Light copper in color with a short white head. Suprising malt aroma, mild caramel there! A few earthy notes behind. Taste is quite sweet, with some toasted caramel notes. Finish is very slightly sour, yet not tart or acidic. Refreshing if a little thin in feel. I enjoyed this desert beer.

Una cosa è certa se dovessi far avvicinare un amico inesperto a questo tipo di birra, l’ultima cosa che farei è portarlo ad assaggiare questa...

33cl bottle at home. This is a sweetened lambic of the worst kind. Really heavy handed when it came to the sweetener. Aroma, palate and taste is of sweetness. Drain pour
