OUDE GREGG

◎ Appearance

Oude Gregg presents a hazy golden amber hue, characteristic of a naturally fermented gueuze that forgoes aggressive filtration. The delicate white head dissipates quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. Lively carbonation weaves through the body, creating a gently turbid, inviting appearance that signals active wild yeast and bacteria at work.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tart green apple and lemon zest, immediately declaring the beer's acidity. Below that layer sits a dusty, barnyard earthiness—the hallmark of Brettanomyces character—alongside a subtle hint of aged oak that speaks to time in wood. The complexity is restrained and inviting rather than aggressive, balancing wild fermentation funk with citrus clarity.

◐ Taste

Bright acidity drives the palate from the first sip, delivering waves of citrus and stone fruit that feel clean and energetic. A subtle bready depth and earthy Brettanomyces undertones add textural complexity without overwhelming the drink's essential crispness. The lively carbonation lifts the mouthfeel throughout, maintaining a bone-dry character that invites another sip.

◑ Finish

The finish extends cleanly and briskly, with lingering sourness that is neither sharp nor fatiguing. A mineral note persists, leaving the palate refreshed rather than exhausted.

Serve at 6–9°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
