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.

Flaska från beernavigator.com. Disig, gyllengul högt vitt skum. Örtig doft med tydliga porskaraktär, lite blommigt tvålig och korianderfrön. Frisk med tydlig porssmak och om man inte gillar det gillar man inte den här drycken för smakbilden är ganska endimensionell. Lite oljig, lätt men tydlig beska. Trevlig i vårsolen. Gott

Bottle to tulip. Lavender, spice and camomile. Hazy orange with full white head. Sweet lemongrass and wheatfield after a threshing. Moderate bitterness and spice. Semi-dry finish.

I do appreciate a spicey beer, even with obscure spices and herbs. But this one just didn’t work for me. It had a nasty tardy taste. Blech.

Bottle 0,75cl. Dobre piwo o intensywnym zapachu jakby kamfory lub jakiejs masci leczniczej. Woskowina jest roslina lecznicza i pewnie to zawdzieczamy ten aromatyczny zapach. Piana nie za wielka i jesli jest nie jest trwala. Metnosc za do zadowala i jest tego tak duzo ze piwo staje sie brudne i jakby brzydkie. Ogolnie smak slodkawo miodowy ale bardzo przyjemny. Piwo mimo niskiej zawartosci alkoholu udeza do glowy. Minus za korek syntetyczny.

Dark blond, a lot of white foam. Refreshing beer. A lot of carbonation. Spicy aroma with notes of herbs and honey. Sweet and bitter

33 cl. bottle @ home, gift from my parents. Hazy golden with a white head. Herbal aroma of what must be the gagel plant. Spicy taste with some good bitterness. Something different.

11/V/13 - 75cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ Bouvier's place - BB: 10/X/## (ink of the year notation was smudged and not readable) (2013-461)

Note: this is pretty weird. I was sure I had rated this beer long ago. More even: I've had it on several occasions, and did not take notes, because I thought I had already rated it.

Clear orange beer, aery off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet, honey, sugary, spices, sweet malts, fruity touch, orange peel. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, citrus, grains, bread, bitter touch. Aftertaste: orange peel, alcohol sweetness, little bitter, honey, bready, sugar.

Bottle at home, this rating is more for my own list, I have had this beer earlier this year before I started taking notes. What I remember: different beer than others, nice.

33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 14.08.2010
Aroma is surprisingly light with herbs and floral notes. Flavour is a bit unpleasant with harsh bitterness and strong herbs (probably the Bog Myrtle himself). No wonder they use hops nowadays…

33cl Bottle from an organic shop. Slightly hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of alcohol, gale, which has a cardamon/ginger character, quite herbal, and like Plaas said, reminds me a lot of Jopen Koyt, a gruyt-beer. Flavour is light to medium sweet, alcohol, light fruity, lots of gale/cardamon, floral and herbal, bitter malty and alcohol finish. Medium-bodied. Decent stuff, quite nice actually.
