"Hanssens Oude Gueuze has a hazy gold color and an aroma of wet wool, preserved lemons, vanilla, and earth. The palate is sharply tangy and dry, opening up to a marvelously complex display of citrus and damp earth in the center. The finish is miles long and juicily acidic, with a final flourish of fruit. This would be brilliant wit ha good ceviche packed with shrimp and avocado."
Garrett Oliver, The Brewmaster's Table, p. 77
"The Gueuze blended by Hanssens of Dworp has a refreshingly fruity, rhubarby flavor"
[Michael Jackson’s Beer Companion, p.41].
Each batch of its Gueuze offers therefore different aromas and flavors only based on the century old knowledge of the Hanssens family.
After the blending the Gueuze is bottled, corked and stored in the cellar for secondary fermentation at 50 -55 degrees F for over one year.
