Lindemans Ginger Gueuze (75cl, 6%)

A 6% ABV Belgian botanical gueuze from Vlezenbeek, in the Pajottenland region southwest of Brussels, bottled in a 750ml bottle. It blends young and aged lambics fermented in oak with fresh ginger root, using the brewery's Cuvée René Oude Gueuze as its foundation. The blend combines 12-month-old lambic with two- to three-year-old lambic aged in oak foeders, then ferments with fresh ginger and is bottle-conditioned. Ginger dominates the nose, with oak and a subtle hay undercurrent. The palate opens with pronounced ginger spice, then tart, funky gueuze character, lemon zest, unripened fruit and foam. The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering ginger warmth and a clean acidic snap.
