St-Louis Premium Gueuze

Tap to rate

A spontaneously fermented gueuze: after boiling, the wort goes straight into an open cooling tank and meets the microflora around it. Light golden in the glass, with green apple and a hint of citrus over wild yeast. Fresh, lively acidity leads, rounded by a mild sweetness, and the dry finish brings soft fruitiness and a light bitterness. 4.5 % ABV, served at 5 °C.

Bright acidity dominates the palate immediately, cutting through with crisp refreshment and a tart snap. Mid-palate reveals a gentle, supporting sweetness that balances the sourness without obscuring it. The finish arrives dry and clean, with soft stone fruit notes and a whisper of bitterness that extends the experience.
