Gageleer Original is a golden colored beer that forms a perfectly beautiful white foam collar in a gageleer glass. It is brewed with honest organic ingredients: the finest barley malt, partly from local Campine organic farmers, and bog myrtle from De Liereman (a nature preserve in the Campine village of Oud‐Turnhout), without additives or preservatives.

Bottle from Wine Raks, Aberdeen. It pours fairly clear golden - blonde with a decent white head. The aroma is toasty grains, nutty, cereal, wood, sweet biscuit, doughy malt, grass, herbal accents and some white sugar. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, bitter - sweet, herbal, green veg, leafy, damp grass, biscuit, oat cake, sponge cake, white bread, muted alcohol presence and white sugar with a green, herbal finale. Average body and moderate+ foamy carbonation. A pretty interesting offering. Drinks fine, but definitely rather green and also sweet. Not sure I would rush back though.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is quite herbal with gale herb, nettles, clove, spiced notes, touch of citrus, vegetables, yeast, malt. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and mildly bitter. Body is medium. Very herbal, but not bad, okay herbal beer.

Flesje thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een licht troebel goudgeel bier met weinig schuim. Het aroma is moutig en kruidig. De smaak is fruitig en wat bitter.
