Day 235-Beer 235 Gueuze Fond Tradition, Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck, Oostrozebekstraat, Belgium

Tonight's brew is a Gueuze. A traditional Belgian blend of young and old Lambics( fermented fruit beers), which are then bottled after blending and aged for 2-3 years to produce a dryer, fruitier and more intense style of Lambic. There is no hop character, some are filtered and force carbonated if not pasteurized as well. Some say that this is the more harsh lambic as the sourness is pretty intense.


This one poured a muddy orange colour as it is an unfiltered beer. The aroma is sour apple cider. The flavour is just pure sour, like apple cider gone bad. There is not many beers I don't like but this tops the list, I hope it is not typical of its style but no Matter I don't intend to try another Gueuze or Lambic beer. less than 1 out of 5, simply horrible and not drinkable, a few mouthfuls is all I could handle and it was expensive.
