Brouwerij Girardin Gueuze 1882 White Label (Filtered)

I was excited to try the white label Gueuze Girardin 1882 for some time. Not until I inspected the bottle after it was pored did I get white meant filtered. Besides that the taste on this night was not hitting the spot for me as a Gueuze normally does. Will have to try the Black Label asap.

Cantillon Gueuze / Geuze

Cantillon Gueuze or Geuze is a blend of lambic aged for three years, two years, and one year. The base is a three year old lambic and then the brewer blends in two and one year old lambic to get the taste he is looking for. This beer is a good candidate to cellar in a cool, dark place for years. I have some aging try an older one in a few years. Cantillon is working on a project currently (started in 2012) with the city of Brussels to have a cellar where they age Gueuze for years (+30 years) so that you could try different vintages at the brewery.

Mort Subite Gueuze

Not as sour as expected after trying Cantillon on the same day. Would not recommend eating here either.
