25cl bottle from Vanuxeem. Pours hazy amber, off white head. Aroma of funky sweet syrup. Taste is cloying, sweet, syrupy, burnt brown sugar, awful sour. Took me by surprise how dreadful this was. Drain pour.
Самый отвратительный гёз из всех, что я пробовал. Напоминает какие-то тухлые яблоки.
F: thin, white, quick gone.
C: deep gold, almost clear.
A: malty, fruity, honey, bit of funky, cheese.
T: malty, fruity, cheese, honey, woody, fruity sourness, apple, controversial beer, more faro than lambic, medium body, low carbonation, 25cl bottle from Cora Woluwe-Saint-Lambert in Brussels.
Bottle from ex work spouse. Wonderful memories. As for the beer, it seems my low standards and questionable pallette have strucken again. For I liked this. Very tart. Flat yellow. Lemon and pear, with some tin syrup and bitten zesty skin. Succulent.
October 24, 2016. Bottle at home, bottled November 22, 2015.
Very light hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is sweet, malty and fruity with a fruit syrup feel, brown sugar, overripe mushed peach, apples, some orange notes and a light woody, dusty cellar note.
Taste is sweet, fruity with a light bitterness. Sweet finish with caramel and peach, light tartness with some apples and lemon, hints of wet wood and earth. Medium bodied, soft, small bubble carbonation.
Might be a gueuze in there somewhere but it is drowned in a sweet sugary mess. More reminiscent of a faro but lacks the balance of a good faro.
25 cl bottle. Grey copper colour with no head. Apricot aroma, sweet flavour, candy, sugar, a lot of sugar.DIsgusting
[9/26/16] Bottle at a public park in Antwerpen. Pale yellow. Aroma of wort, a bit of cardboard, a bit of fruitiness. Sweet flavor with saccharine, fruitiness, wort, and light tartness.
Bottle 25cl
@ Cerveceria Internacional, Seville, Spain.
A: Hazy golden.
T: Peach, sweet, slightly sour.
250ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Yellowy amber colour, thin white foam head and aroma of apple, honey, yeast. Taste is sour & sweet, honey, apple, with biscuity & straw notes. Light bodied, low carbonation, dry sourish, sweet finish. OK.
Bottle, 25cL. Home. A pale orange copper opaque beer ; few bubbly ; no head. Apple syrup, woody note, sugar, light skunky. Medium to heavy sweet, light sour lasting. Light body, watery texture, light sticky, flat, short sweet acid finish. Overall, seriously ?!? gueuze ?? not the look, light aroma, way too sugary, flat.
Une gueuze très moyenne qui manque de puissance et de complexité. Pas mon style.
Clear golden liquid, small head. Heavy, sour aroma of berries. Light body, no carbonation. Taste is sour and very sweet.
Bottle @ home. Giallo dorato velato con schiuma bianca fine. Poca persistenza. Aroma fruttato, albicocca essiccata, zucchero candito, leggermente Brett. Gusto dolce stucchevole. Veramente troppo. Acidità della fermentazione spontanea solo.accennata. Nessun tipo di amaricatura. Carbonatazione lieve, corpo appiccicoso. Non equilibrata e poco armonica
37.5cl bottle at Trappistenhuis, Ghent (2 X 2015). This is the Gueuze of De Troch, and it is a peculiar one. Served in a tumbler, it has a pale golden colour, even yellow, with little to no foam. The nose is typically lambic: Filt, feet, stinky blue cheese. The herbs hints are too subtle, yet I noticed some thyme. The taste is a dry dustness, with lots of cheese and a keen cassonade sweetness. Far too sweet for my taste! It resembles an old-fashioned Faro.
Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk at home. Clear dirty old gold colour thin bubbly white head. It’s a tad sweet. Somewhere there may have been a lambic in there at some point but now it’s way too sugary. OK though.
hazy golden colour, minimal off-white head; aroma of peach juice, citruses, and some barnyard; taste is surprisingly sweet with sourness and peach again; not really good gueuze
Dette var nytt for meg. Tåkete guloransje med lavt skum. Lett surhet i duften. Noe fruktig sammen med med noen nyanser som ikke er lett å identifisere. Smaken er sur fersken sammen med noe såpeaktig. Ettersmaken er noe juiceaktig. Litt dessertvin preg på den.
On bottle from Vinmonopolet Norway, on order. Golden color, some foam. Medium low aroma intensity;light stable, raisins, citrus. Medium/ light body & complexity. Starts off sweet, some balancing sweetness- ends up on the sweet side. A bit disappointing
Bottle. Pours a clear dirty golden body with a small bubbly white head. Nose is cellar mold, mild acetic tones, cork, hay, wood and hints of straw and grape peel. Taste is mild sour lactic notes, red berries, raisins, grape peel and hints of hay and white sugar brine. Light body, soft carbonation. Tastes a lot like a Faro of sorts, not really sour at all and with a watery, sugar-blended feel to it. Not suitable for a gueuze at all, in fact I would like to see the blending scheme for this one.
01.06.2015, 0,375l bottle @ home:
Small bubbly shortlasting head. Aroma is strange fruity, wet socks, sugar, wet oak, old moldy cellar, dried fruits, moldy cork, hints of apples. Taste is slightly sour-ish sweet, soda powder, grass, sugar, apples, citrus acid, paper, wet oak, dried fruits. Little bitterness, slightly sour-ish mouthfeel. Meh!
Corked and crown capped bottle 37.5cl. Clear amber brown, small foamy beige head, diminishing quickly, light lacing; light sour aroma, vinegar, barnyard, sugary; taste medium sweet, light to medium sour, candy sugar; medium body, sticky texture, soft carbonation, aftertaste sweet and light sour, cherry, woody notes; all in all refreshing but not a Gueuze, more like a Flemish brown beer,
Pours a hazy orange. Nose is very acidic, very sweet, almost foot smelling. Thick heavy, orange forward, very sour with a lot of sweetness at the end. almost no body, very little carbonation. Oh well, it’s technically Lambic?
Tastes like some medicine i used to have when i was a child. Made of some disgusting grass. Sweet and candy like.
This beer smells like the liquid Sedinal (the plants thingy to distress the human body). The good part is that the amount of sugar makes it tastes better than this medicine. Sadly, that doesn’t make it a great beer.
Bière sucré et légèrement acide mais pas assez acide pour une gueuze. Elle ne Ressemble pas à une gueuse autant via sa couleur que son odeur et son goût. Amateur de gueuse, passer votre chemin.
Dark amber with very small white head. Sweet, bit sour fruity aroma. Sour-and-sweet fruitu taste, some hint of biterness later.
Bottle from Dranken Geers. Pours clear dark golden with an off white head. Aroma of leather, vinegar, rotten old fruits made into some kind of obnoxious candy and an old wet sock on a stick. Flavor is over moderate sweet and light moderate acidic. Some dustiness coming out in the palate along with the gross sweet rotten fruit notes. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. I cannot recommend this gueze, apart from to my drain.
Very faint yellow color and a short lived white head, plenty of carbonation and a constant flow of bubbles to the top. The aroma is somewhat acidic but with clear notes of sweet fruit, cider and something metallic.The taste is surprisingly sweet due to the added sugar and slightly fruty and acidic - a bit of barnyard sensation when it gets warmer. Dry and somehow similar to cider. Would probably work as some kind of aperitif before dinner, but as a straight up gueuze it is not what I would expect.
Een lekkere geueze, niet vernieuwend van smaak maar gewoon degelijk zoals een geueze hoort te zijn
250mL bottle at Delices et Caprices, pours a clear dark copper with a small white head. Nose smells more like a faro, with candied sugar, feet, and some barn notes. Flavour is similar, bringing out a mix of feet and candied sugars. Far from an authentic lambic, but also far from the atrocity that is Lindemans Gueuze. Might be good to try to get people into the style as a gateway, but it’s far from exquisite.
