Lindemans Gueuze

Tap to rate

A capped gueuze in the post-war tradition: young lambic, filtered and pasteurised, which makes it softer and sweeter than the bottle-conditioned Oude Gueuze. Ripe, juicy apple and a light sweetness in the nose; soft and sweet at first, then crisp and dry with a subtle sourness, hints of rhubarb and champagne and a dry-sherry finish. Golden blond, 5 % ABV, in the range since 1978.

Golden blond with excellent clarity, reflecting light with a luminous quality. A delicate white head forms and recedes, leaving fine lacing that clings to the glass walls. Fine carbonation visible as a steady stream of small bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe, juicy apple—crisp and inviting—supported by a light, almost honeyed sweetness. Subtle farmyard and wine-like notes emerge beneath, hinting at the lambic's aged character without dominating the brighter fruit profile.

◐ Taste

Soft and sweet at first contact, then the palate dries considerably mid-sip with a crisp acidity reminiscent of rhubarb and champagne. Subtle sourness balances the residual sweetness, leading to a bone-dry finish with whispers of dry sherry and a mineral edge. The mouthfeel is smooth and refined, lacking aggression despite the acidity.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and dry, with champagne-like effervescence and a lingering sherry-like warmth. Aftertaste remains crisp and clean, with faint rhubarb undertones that persist pleasantly.
