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.

Bottle from Bierhalle, Melle. Dark red colour, thin layer of pink foam. Nose of tart cherries, vinegar, yoghurt. Taste is rather vinegary tart, fruity. Refreshing but a bit unbalanced.

Fruity, but not overdone. Clean with a medium sourness, like sour cherries. Very easy drinking beer for everyone. online saveaur bier

750 ml bottle. Vintage: 1999. Thank you Adamchandler on this share. Flavor has sour grain, lemon juice, mild vinegar, oak. Maybe tart berries and a mild vinaigrette finish. The carbonation is flat.

On tap at Graspop, as Ginette Bio Lager. Clear golden colour, fizzy white head. Aroma is sweet, light malty, corn, light lemony hop. Flavour follows, quite sweet but it's got a lot more taste than the other option (Jupiler), soft bitter finish. Light bodied. Decent.
