Style: Lambic - Gueuze
Ingelmunster, Belgium

Serve in Flute, Tumbler

Bottle. Sweet-sour musty hay/barnyard malt aroma. Clear amber with large white head. Sweet musty hay flavor. Fairly weak. Pretty average for a sweetened (nontraditional) gueuze.

Interesting taste a summer time beer I think. This would be the first guese I have had. Smell is mediciney and hoppy, taste is crisp citrus lemon lime and malty with some sweatness.

Bottle (375 ml) at café Tre små rum, Göteborg, Sweden. Hazy golden, small white head. Fruity and cidery with some dusty and woody notes. Light in body, lively carbonation. A bit too sweet.

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.

a little sweet to be an original gueze but not too bad, herbal flavour, slightly fizzy, good one to start people on the geuze train

[Tasting @ yespr] Clear golden with medium head. Aroma is slight sour with light barnyardy notes and sweet fruits. Flavor is sweet and sour with wood, brett and grapefruit notes. To much sugar really…
