Beer Golden Tricky 7.5% 24x33cl
Verzet | Blonde
€54,00
A Belgian IPA. Golden Tricky is brewed with the Australian hop variety Ella. This gives it an exotic fruity flavour that reminds me a bit of conference pears and tangerines. There is also a slight spicy coriander flavour in the background. This, combined with a good bitterness, makes this beer very easy to drink.
The exotic aroma of the beer might trick you into expecting a sweet taste. On the nose, you’ll notice some scents of apricot, mango and passion fruit. But you can prepare for some bitterness in the taste. You’ll get a quick hint of fruit and sweetness in the beginning, but the hop gives it a bitter aftertaste and a dry finish.
The beer has a golden colour and a firm white head. The carbonation is medium to strong.
The Golden Tricky beer was brewed to honour a witty priest in East Flanders.

Now, the Gueuze Cantillon represents half of the brewery’s production. The brewers follow a thousand-year-old brewing tradition and promote the natural taste of a beer by using the best raw materials. The cereals they use are 100% organically grown.
The history and making of Gueuze beer
In the 18th century, a Benedictine monk discovered champagnisation by blending different non-sparkling white wines. It was just the beginning of discovery, as, during the next century, a Brabant brewer mixed several Lambics that caused fermentation in the bottle. And finally, the Gueuze was born.
Before that, only Lambic and Faro beers were drunk in Belgium. The monk’s discovery of champagnisation and the Brabant brewers mixing of lambics started a new revolution. The Gueuze beer then became a hit. In fact, it was not the Belgians but Americans who noticed the value of a gueuze beer. Before it came back to the spotlight in Belgium, the demand was much higher in the United States.
Creating this complex mixture of different lambics requires some work. Around ten lambics from different barrels need to be tasted to select the best half for the mixture. Young lambics that are one year old are mixed with old lambics, which are three years old. The bottles are then placed horizontally in a cellar for a second fermentation that takes about one year. Once the lambic has become sparkling, it has become a gueuze.
Anecdote of cooking with Gueuze Cantillon beer
Proper beer lovers and geeks would call anyone mad to waste a good Cantillon Gueuze on any dish. Nevertheless, there is a whole recipe book about cooking with Cantillon beer!
You can find this book at Brussels Gueuze Museum, which is a museum dedicated to gueuze beer and established in the Cantillon brewery.
The book called “La Gueuze Gourmande” was published in 1995 and only focuses on dishes that use Cantillon beers. There is a recipe called tête pressée that even requires two full bottles of Cantillon Gueuze. This book was made when the consumption of traditional gueuze was declining, especially during the tough times after World War II. This book intended to use the beer in recipes in a way that the unique beer flavour would not disappear.
The recipe book may be forgotten now, but luckily the consumers have once again started to appreciate a traditional gueuze beer the way it is.
