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.

Pours ruby red with slighly pink head. Aroma of fruits, sweet cherries and syrup. Slight sourness in the aftertaste. Too sweet and not sour enough for my taste. OK for a commercial Kriek.

Aroma of fruits, sugar, light tart fruit. Flavour is more sweet than sour, very disappointing, artificial candy. This has little to do with Gueuze and I find it offensive that this beer carries that name.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso il fruttato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto limpido. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è contenuto e c'è anche una componente leggermente acidula. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il finale è stringente e bruschino. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, cereali, frutta secca, agrumi, fico, datteri, frutta disidratata, prugna, vino bianco, acetico e verdure cotte.

Аромат сладкий, ощущается сладкая черешня, сахар, прямо как варенье, ценности и естественности в этом запахе нету, но и химозности тоже не замечано. Цвет яркий, темно красный, пенка средняя. Вкус в цкелом такой же. Сладкий, много черешни, снова немного отдает ягодностью. Много сладости. При глотке намек на косточку, но почти больше ничего нету. В целом приятно и даже питко при такой сладости. Для женщин патриархического устоя подойдет очень.

Bottle from lowcostbeer.com, in date. Only my 2nd gueuze. Pours a clear dark amber with small off-white top. Tart fruity and yeasty aroma, hint of spice. Taste is malty and tangy, some plum and vanilla, grains, rhubarb, growing bitterness. Slightly cloying syrupiness in the mouth. Overall through it was enjoyable and a style I should have more of.
