Subject: Bella-Vue Gueze? 

 

 
Hello all.  I've been lurking in this forum for a month or so. (I must 
say the technical discussions are impressive and intimidating.)  I've 
been brewing beer for about 4 years and from some unknown reason have 
become interested in brewing a plambic (well, the reason might be just 
to show off at a local beer club meeting :^)). 

 
One problem I have is that I have only tasted one lambic beer (El Paso 
is a beer deprived desert town).  The lambic I tried was Bella-Vue Gueze 
lambic ale.  My question is: Is this a good example of a lambic?  It 
differs greatly from some of descriptions of 'lactic sourness' I have 
seen in this forum.  This beer was sweet and estery (berry fruit came to 
mind), very effervescent and a beautiful crystal clear amber color.  For 
some reason I expected a cloudy sour beer.  I enjoyed the beer very 
much, although at $4.50 a bottle I will not drink many. 

 
Also, I have not seen mentioned the brett. and pedio. cultures carried 
by Brewers Resource.  Have folks succesfully used these cultures? Thanks 
in advance.
