NL/BEL excursion day 8: a small bottle, caged and corked, purchased from the brewery, and drunk in the courtyard of A. de J. ‘Generation Europe’ in Brussels. Aroma: complex and inviting, 70s era homebrew meets canned plums. Appearance: clear bronze, no head to speak of. Palate: light-bodied and tart, average carbonation; long and complex finish, ending on a dry note. Taste: lightly sweet with understated sour notes, very well balanced. Background flavour of fresh yeast. Not so funky, but I really liked the sherry-like kick.

bottle given to me by a firned who picked one up for me recently on a trip in Belgium. Typical hazy yellowish color. Lovery Barnyard aroma, but it’s lacking a bit in bite. The flavour is a nice sooth funk, but a little dubbed down, i can see why this isnt as high as the Black Label. Still very good, but not as bold as the black.

Aroma of malt, sweet wine, fruits, oak, light barnyard funk. Flavour is moderate sweet and only moderate sour. Decent Gueuze, but the Black Label, which is one of my favourite beers, is so much better.

Bottle. Color: Clear golden to orange amber, white head. Aroma: Malty, sweet and tart. Taste: Lightly tart, moderate sweet, hay, malty. Hints of wood and white grape, citrus. Subtle funky notes. Nowhere near the lovely Girardin Black. Too much sweetness for me.

37,5 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Rovin, Dongen. Light hazy amber with a thin white head. Sour grape aroma with some wheat. Tart taste with some fruity notes as well. Dry-ish finish, not as dry as most Lambics. Decent gueuze.

Clear golden colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have very light notes of wood and funk. Quite mild with obvious sweetness from residual sugars. For the same price you can better choose Boon Gueuze.
