If you meet any Hanssen's, I'd advise you to stay away from the
strawberry one. I found it to taste very much like, erm, well... vomit.
The oud gueuze is IMHO a much better bet

I've never seen the strawberry -- if you run into their Mead Gueuze and
feel obligated to try it, make sure you chill almost to freeezing and open
it outdoors -- they're explosive. It's not all that great -- I'd
actually recommend passing on it.

You've been remarkably unlucky then. I've had fine bottles of
Hanssens Oudbeitje (the strawberry lambic). Nowt vomitous about
it at all. Mind you, you're spot-on about the Oude Gueze.
