the Liefmans Cuvee Brut is nice as well. It's a sour brown ale with cherries, so similar to a kriek but not actually a lambic. I love the Liefmans stuff at the price point whenever I can find it in Europe and I welcome both the Brut and Goudenband to the LCBO with open arms!

Not sure on the Kentucky Bastard, but I tried to buy all of it at the brewery last week.
Kidding of course.... hoping for good things as I bought 6.

I recently had my bottle from last year and it was excellent. I doubt you'll be disappointed...

A better Gueuze than the Cuvee Rene, really sour up front but not alot of complexity like more expensive gueuzes.
Right, the Belle Vue Gueuze the LC had some 15 years ago was well worth the $36.00 for a twelve-case. These simpler Gueese have a place, sadly not the St. Louis for me (*shudder*) and the Belle Vue is made no more (got to say it really kicked some ass alongside Tex-Mex food from Coyote Willie's at Queen and Broadview...)

Anybody have experience/opinions with good "everyday" Gueuze that are solid amazing beers just not overpowering? I still haven't even tried the DreiFonteinen ones I picked up...

I wouldn't say "amazing" but I find the Girardin products solid and not particularly annoying.

Yeah the Girardin stuff is really solid and balanced at a really low price point in Europe. Would be amazing to get this into the LC
