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 Dranken Geers. Hazy orange gold. Thin lasting white head. Spicy floral aroma. Definitely got something flowery or herby added to it. It’s got a real tinned peach flavour, crazy bizarre and tasty. I’m not a big fan of these perfumed beers, but this is good. Actually it does become a bit annoying.

(Bottle at Hilpeä Hauki on 2008-09-16) Golden. Hazy. Medium sized quickly disappearing white head. Apricot and coriander aromas in nose. Full bodied palate with medium carbonation. Coriander, some grapefruit, spiciness in general, bitterness and sweetness in taste.

A golden beer with a slight hazy under a thick white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of bog myrtle, but also some cloudberries. The flavor is sweet spicy and a bit perfumated with notes of bog myrtle and cloudberries, leading to a spicy bitter end. A very refreshing beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful dark golden beer with lots of stagnant impurities. Decent, white head. The bog myrtle (gagel) is very pronounced (much more than in the Danish "Porse Guld") adding an almost licorice-like, herbal character in both aroma and flavours. Very interesting. 040798

Recipe from Louis Meulders, Belgian Eminence Grise of homebrewers, brewed in favour of vzw Natuurpunt, a Nature preservation organisation for the Kempen area, brewed at the Proef after some first tries at Achouffe Good, very white and creamy-consistence head over golden-orange beer. Spicey, peppery, perfumed nose. Obviously the Myrica Gale , but do not think of the aroma of the plant in the open - fairly different. In the taste, the bog myrtle is unmistakable - resembling the smell of the plant. Also citrus and orange zeste flavours. Light MF, very refreshing. Original, spicey beer. Well worth looking for, but difficult to obtain outside its designated area.
