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 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.

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.

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.
