Lindemans Brewery Lindemans Cuvée René Oude Gueuze

What the brewers say

“A blend of different foudre-aged lambics.”

What our panel thought

“Green tobacco-like notes in the nose with hints of tar, wet hay, light fruit. Rustic and earthy with hints of smoke, leather, dried fruit, and a rich umami mushroom finish. Soft tartness lingers on the tongue as pineapple but blends well.”

What our editors thought

“Expressive stone fruit and asphalt, mineral nose—tires on hot pavement, with a peach kicker. Sip pushes dirty sulfur funk with glimmers of brighter fruit on the edges. A lingering hop bitterness.”

Lindemans Brewery Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée René

“Super _Brett_-forward aroma with elements of leather, horse blanket, earthy lemon, wet-concrete followed by subtle grassy notes. The sip is funky but bright, with lemon, leather, earthy pepper, on lively effervescence. Finishes nicely tart and slightly citric.”

Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvee Rene

Tart raspberry notes lead toward a dry, highly carbonated finish with a pleasant underlying sourness. Very crisp throughout, refreshing with some interesting weird edges.

Oud Beersel Oude Gueze Vielle

“Fantastic start to finish. Leads with a beautiful nose with hints of black pepper and peach. Lots of interesting funk and fruit, along with a moderate lactic sourness. Layers of fermentation complexity without overly weird rough edges. Tart cherry and lemon, with some notes of papaya and guava. The funk skews toward wet hay with some light leather lingering in the finish. The base beer is still there to provide a soft grainy backdrop, and the finish has a soft tartness that accentuates the farmhouse character through the swallow. Incredible, an amazing beer.”
