Timmermans, Tradition Gueuze Lambic (Belgium) 
This is a spontaneously-fermented Gueuze, a mix of young and old lambic beers. A sour beer, it pours a slightly hazy medium gold, with a fast-fading white head. The nose has a subtle background maltiness, with vegetal and citrus aromas on top, and a little touch of seaweed. On the palate it is sour and lemony, with quite a full mousse and some tart cherry-like flavours. It doesn't have great length, but is a refreshing Gueuze beer of good quality. 5.0% ABV, 33cl, �1.49, Peckhams.  |  |
Van Honsebrouck, Gueuze Fond Tradition (Belgium)
A blend of old and young lambic beers with secondary fermentation in the Champagne-corked bottle, this pours a lightly hazy pale gold with a thin white head. The nose is high and estery, with floral and herbal, even slightly medicinal notes as well as plenty of citrus and a hint of overrripe, rotting oranges. On the palate there is a pure, glacial blast of lemony sharp, very sour and acidic fruit. It is lean and linear, racy across the the tongue with decisive pith and punch into a long finish. There are hints of oatmeally, grain and rice notes, but nothing stops the vivid thrust of lemony sourness. 5.0% ABV, 37.5cl, �2.49, Onlyfinebeer.  |  |
Van Honsebrouck, St Louis Gueuze Lambic (Belgium)
Pouring a darkish golden brown with a fairly thin off-white head, St Louis Gueuze has a nose of sour green apples that is quite typical, but also a certain sense of toffeed sweetness, and a slightly sulphury, mineral note. On the palate it is quite an intensely-flavoured beer, that seems a little fizzy and frisky, and is soon overtaken by a sweetness that overpowers the apple and straw-like fruit flavours. In truth it is a touch saccharin, and though pleasant enough, not a patch on the best gueuze examples. 4.5% ABV, 25cl, �0.99, Beersofeurope. |  |
Van Honsebrouck, St Louis Premium Framboise (Belgium)
This beer pours a very deep, cherry red colour that is slightly cloudy. The off white head fades very quickly. The nose has a intense aromas of slightly artificial raspberry and bright, jammy fruit, with a nice sour, lemon and yeast background note. It is very powerful aromatically. On the palate there is a huge sweetness that immediately coats the mouth with syrupy, red liquorice, cherry and raspberry fruit. This states "raspberries 25%" on the label, though the sweetness seems too much to be entirely natural. There is a nice backstop of sour, actually quite nicely weighted lambic flavour, and though that sweetness persists, this concentrated, intense fruit beer has plenty of personality. 2.8% ABV, 25cl. |  |
