Mixed-culture Fermented Gueuze-Style Ale Aged in Oak Barrels and Bottle Conditioned.
A gueuze—pronounced “gooz”—is a type of spontaneously fermented Lambic beer which is a blend of several different years of barrel-aged beer. Paying homage to this historic style, Lamb & Goose is a blend of some of the oldest foudres and barrels in the Almanac oak cellar, most of which have been aging for over 2 years. The resulting ale has a strong minerality and funk with notes of citrus and pear. Enjoy this unique brew with a decadent cheese and charcuterie platter.

Bottle. Pours clear golden, smell off white head, good lacing. Aroma is funk. Basement, feet, dust, lemon, hint of apple. Flavor is light plus tart, light plus funk, citric, green apple. Light plus body. Less depth of character compared to a gueuze. 5,7,7,4,14

375 mL bottle poured, shared by Tcon. Thanks! Fun style to try from my favorite folks in Cali. A clean golden pour until a refilled with the bottom of the bottle. Really nice aroma, true to the style, according to my somewhat limited experience. Nice oak character, moderate aour, lots of funk. Pretty smooth taste as an overall. Very fun brew.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours translucent gold with a nice white head. Aroma does remind of Gueuze. Med body. Flavor is tart with some nice wood. It's quite dry. More tart than bitter. Indeed it is an impressive effort at a Gueuze flavor.
