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.

Gyllengul med grådaskiga inslag, snudd på obefintlig skumslöja. Vinäger och lite säd dominerar aromen. Maltbas möter en balanserad syra. Obefintlig beska. Behaglig munkänsla.

2018 bottle. Dull red colour with light haze and thin head. This one has a sherberty sweet and sour taste. A touch of red wine vinegar in the finish. Relatively low on krieken which is a plus for me.

5.8%+rohelise silt. Väidetavalt sisaldab apelsinikoort ja koriandrit (WTF) ehk siis ei ole traditsiooniline gööze. Muidu maitses ja lõhnas on nii funki kui äädikat, nisu ja tsitrust. Ameerica stiilis metsiku õllena võttes pole ju paha, aga lambic ei ole.

330ml bottle in Beery Christmas Advent Calendar, Day 8 - Dark blond body, no head. Pretty sour nose, earthy crab apples and a bit woody. Taste is sour apples and pears, sharp lip-smacking all the way through.

Fles thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een helder goudgeel bier met een dun wit schuim welke snel weg ebt. Het heeft een zurige licht fruitige geur. De smaak is zuur, scherp en wrang.

0.25 l bottle from 'Rudat', best before January 2021. Clear, dark brownish amber with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, slightly sourish, moderately fruity aroma of brown sugar, overripe lemon, maybe light coriander. Gently sweet, slightly sour, moderately fruity and minimally spicy taste of overripe lemon, brown sugar, some wood, a touch of horse blanket and hints of coriander, followed by a short, gently sour, slightly woody-dry and a little spicy finish. Thin to medium body, slightly astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Quite pleasant actually, not as sweet as expected and the lambic character is not too restrained. Not the real deal but a decent thirst-quencher nevertheless.

kellemesen fanyarkás, kevésbé édeskís, de meglehet hogy savany. mélyvörös mondhatni bolsevik szín- és testvilág.
