Wild Beer Tasting - Lindemans Cuvee Rene
This is a Gueuze Lambic, supposedly the mother of all sour beers. It consists of a blend of 3, 2, and 1 year old lambic that is aged for another year.
Appearance - Honey colored. No head.
Smell - Very aeromatic. Lots of sour and a bit of funk in there. Bright and sunny too.
Taste - High sourness level. Medium funk. A bit more oaky than the flanders we tried last time. VERY dry. A bit of tannins on the back end (from the oak?). Sour and funky, but not as complex as the flanders. The oak is there but it's very light.
Mouthfeel - Very light and bubbly.
Overall - Excellent beer. I love the sourness of this one, and the funk and oak do bring something to the table. Very refreshing. However, not as complex as I had anticipated.
