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 shared at De Paas. Hazy golden pour with a medium white head. Aroma of herbs, flowers and spice. Flavour is vegetables, herbs and spice with a metallic and slight cough medicine finish. Medium carbonation. A very strange beer, glad to only have half a bottle.

Bottle. Cloudy golden yellow, large fluffy white head. Aroma of bog myrtle. No, I’m kidding, I don’t even know what a bog myrtle is, let alone why you would put it in a beer. Anyway, this one tastes like hay with moderate spice, decent body and a bitter finish. Drinkable. Addendum: I guess bog myrtle was an ingredient of gruut, in the medieval non-hop brew. So it’s the pope’s fault that it’s in my beer :-)

33cl bottle @ a metal shop in Vosselaar with different label that had a viking in a bog with ’beer for metalhead’ description. Bière ancienne selon la recette gruit. Couleur dorée/orangée, col blanc. Arôme houblon, herbeuse avec le Myrica Gale aussi connu sous nom de Gale odorant, Myrique baumier, Piment royal ou Bois-sent-born qui donne ce côté typique à ce breuvage quoique ce dernier reste un peu faible. Malt aussi à noté et reste modéré. Une bière qui se laisse savouré et dont l’ajout de cett fleur suave un peu de tomber dans la banalité des ales belges. Levure et sucre avec au fini une touche de houblon citronné ainsi que un profile grains et malt.

Pale golden rather hazy body. Cream white head, which gives a rather nice lacing. Aroma of orange, sweet honey and an herb (guess we found the bog myrtle). Some peach juice and unripe chilli pepper. Slightly sour nose. Flavour is sweet spicy, with a slight hoppy accent. Pronounced malts. Again the bog myrtle comes through nicely, giving an interesting and fresh touch. Sticky mouthfeel. Long finish, reminds of heather honey. Nice and interesting. (from 33cL bottle)

Bottled. Slightly cloudy, strong blonde beer, seems quite a bit like a spiced up tripel. Fruity aroma, crisp taste. A bit of fruity sweetness, but not too much, leading to a good, dry finish. Good hop taste, plus herbal flavors from the myrtle, but not really bitter. Interesting, though one is enough.
