355ml bottle. Dark hazy orange, white head diminishing letting only a ring around the glass. Nose is a lot of herbal, basilic? Lambic, not wow, funky, spontaneous fermentation, tartness. Taste is light acidity, dry, aftertaste that doesn't last very long. Winy texture, fizzy on tongue. I wasn't impress, but one of the best quality for cash gueuze out there!

Not as good as Hanssen Gueuze, as there was some off flavors, but it was still a great introduction to gueuze!

Thick fomy head dissipated quickly. Aroma of dried fruit some funk. Flavour sour, fruity esthers with a surprising burst of cassis in the middle and citrus at the back. Surprisingly drinkable with a medium bidy and good carbonation.

Poured from a capped and corked 750ml bottle into a tulip glass.
A: The beer is a deep gold color with a large white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains tart fruit, Belgian yeast, esters and light malts.
T: The taste starts out very tart with flavors of citrus, esters and Belgian yeast funk. Then some breadiness comes in from a hearty but not too heavy malt character. There is very little hops presence as you would expect from a beer in this style. There is a good balance and a bit of Gose-like saltiness in the background. The after-taste is tart.
M: Crisp and a little smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is dry and slightly sticky.
O: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style, this is a solid sour beer to drink for a while if you’re in the mood for the style.

Poured into a stange and tulip. In the stange, the body seems a bit lighter in color closer to a lighter side of orange tinted yellow. The tulip produces a darker hazier orange colored body (weird, ok, I wonder if this is normal) anyways, both have the same sized head - about a finger’s worth of white foaminess leaving some thick foamy lacing clinging to the sides of both glasses. The smell is extremely tart and sour, but I guess this is how its supposed to be. Well, I do get some lemon/cherries/raspberry/orange trying to come through in an extremely sour way. The taste is tart and sour once again through the previously mentioned flavors. On the palate, its a light to medium, tries to display some sort of sessionability, but still there’s an element of a fuller quality. Carbonation hits me a bit harder than some other lambics but from what I’ve read and my lack of knowledge in this style - I guess that’s ok. Overall, honestly, I think I’m only doing this so I can say I’ve tried a gueuze.

One of the truly great values left in Lambic to be found in America. I without a doubt will buy a bottle any time I see it while out. I drink this almost once a week due to availability and quality.

Pours a cloudy orange color with a one finger thick white soapy head. Head dissipates leaving a thin circle of sudsy foam on top of the beer with no lacing.
Smell is a pungent aroma of tartness, lemon, granny smith apple, and some grain notes peaking through. The aroma is so tart it actually triggers a pucker just from the aroma.
Taste follows the nose with notes of tart lemon and apple, some barnyard funk with a touch of minty coolness. Grain comes through on the back end with some of that mint flavor lingering on the palette.
Feel is light to moderate in body. Pretty dry and tart enough to produce a puckering sensation. Very refreshing.
Overall an outstanding gueuze from Lindemans.

Sour, check. Pours clear and taste makes you squint. No head to speak of. After taste reminds me of green olives. Good for a sour or lambic beer. I'm good with it.
