Lindemans Gueuze Cuvée René | Chad'z Beer Reviews #213

Season 8 , episode 11 . Originally aired 27 January 2010

BREWERY'S DESCRIPTION & INFORMATION:
Possibly the oldest beer, Gueuze, or Geuze, (pronounced "GOO-za") is unseasoned, wild-fermented wheat beer. The brewers blend aged lambic and younger lambic, to taste, and a bottle refermentation occurs after capping. It is highly coveted by gourmands in Belgium who lay it in their cellars like wine.
Golden color, cidery, winey palate; reminiscent, perhaps, of bubbly dry vermouth with a more complex and natural flavor. Style—Gueuze Lambic
As an aperitif in place of dry sherry, with carbonnade a la beouf, mussels in white wine or Gueuze, flavorful cheeses; traditionally served in tall, thick tumbler with cubes of sugar to sweeten to taste.

You Americans and your crazy pronunciations, its "gerz" not "goooze" and Belgians speak Flemish that is closer to a mix of Dutch and French but closer to Dutch.

I really like Gueuze and this one of my favourites which is surprising because of the rest of Timmerman's lambics are terrible. After a day stomping around Gent a nice Gueuze was perfect for quenching our thirst.

I agree with Henry that this is a bit easier drinking that say a Cantillon that can be a bit hardcore on the sourness scale!

@HopZine hey, the official description from the brewery's website says it's pronounced goo-za.

Timmerman's? Don't you mean Lindemans?

I wouldn't consider a sour very freshing, it's more like a tasty candy treat. I love their fruit flavored lambics, though. I'll have to review more of them this year.

@ChadzBeerReviews Listen to lambic supremo Arman De Belder say "gueuze"

I'd post a link but it wont let me, so search on YouTube for "Drie Fonteinen Brewery & Lambic Blender - Beersel, Belgium".
