Description
The Belle-Vue brewery is a story of more than 100 years of craftsmanship. Philémon Vanden Stock started as a so-called ''gueuze steker'' as early as 1913: he buys lambic from local brewers and uses it to create "Gueuze". In 1927 he took over the Belle-Vue café in Anderlecht, which was also the start of the Belle-Vue brand. When he took over the Vos Kina brewery in Molenbeek in 1943, he changed its name to the "Belle-Vue" brewery. He transforms from a gueuze steker into brewer. Under the leadership of son Constant Vanden Stock, the brewery grows strongly, partly through numerous acquisitions in the 50s, 60s and 70s. In 1975, the brewery moves into the old site of the Timmermans brewery in Zuun (Sint-Pieters-Leeuw). Belle-Vue has been part of AB InBev since 1981. Within AB InBev, the Belle-Vue brewery also functions as a pilot brewery and plays an important role in the Belgian network.

Vintage 2018. Many thanks for this Lambic to Eric De Geyter. Alez niesamowicie wytrawny i kwasny lambic. A to tylko roczny, mlody, nawet nie jest to z malego browaru jak Cantillon czy 3F ale daje rade. Jestem zadowolony z prezentowanej jakosci. Nalane do kieliszka kriek lindemansa, z rozowa srednia piana, nie trwala, metniste, bordowo rozowe, Aromat wisni rozgniecionych pestek, wytrawna i kwasowa owocowosc wisniowa dominuje, przyznam szczerze ze w skladzie kolendra? i nic jej nie czuc wisni bylo za duzo, az 130g na litr. W smaku jest pewna cierpkosc jeszcze dzikiej rozy, tak mi sie kojarzylo.

Pours unclear blonde, small white head. Smell is lemony, tart, sweaty. Taste is sharp, dry, lemonsour. Arteficial. Not a geuze, what a joke.

Aroma of cheap sweets and cherry. Sweet and just a bit sour taste with cherry juice. Certainly drinkable, but it has nothing to do with a real kriek.

Sweetish aroma with cherry and a bit of wood. Sweet and a bit sour, fruity (orange, cherry). Bit sticky. Nice beer on a hot day, but it is just a plain, sweet beer, that has little or no characteristics of a REAL geuze

Artificial cherry sweets aroma. Pinkish frothy head. Thin and watery with a cherry juice flavor, like the Dutch "zuurstokken" (sweet and sour sticks)on a fair. A bit nasty vegetable-like aftertaste. I could finish the bottle, I didn't think that was possible.

5,7% on the label. Raspberry in the aroma. Dusty and a bit citric. Dusty and bitter flavor with raspberry. Bitter aftertaste. Very dry and dusty mouthfeel. Ithought this was a sugary beer with artificial raspberry flavors, but this is a totally different beer. Not my favorite, though.

Strong cherry juice aroma and flavor. Very sweet and syrupy, some vanilla. Hurts your teeth, but in fact the taste is not too bad, especially if you like cherry lemonade.

2004 primeur. Dusty cherry aroma and falvor. Earthy, bitter almonds. Not too sweet, especially compared to the normal kriek Belle Vue. Maybe a bit watery, but surprisingly good.
