Commercial Description:
Blend of 1, 2 and 3 year old lambic. Fermented and lagered in oak vessels. In this bottle the young yeast is brought to sleep ('ingedoesjeld') so the original lambic flavors are preserved. This beer has no head, just like lambic. The lambic is brewed with 60% barley, 40% wheat, last years hop

Still gold pour. Oak, leather, and horse blanket on the nose. Green apple, white grape, barnyard, and oaky tannins. Alot more tart as it warms

Pours orange with no head or carbonation to speak of. It has a sour, woody aroma with oranges, leather, barnyard funk. Very sour flavor with hints of sweetness on the tongue. Its a bit watery with a horse blanket and citrus rind, woody finish. Pretty complex flavor profile. Lambic is still kind of a new style for me. I’m still learning to understand it.

Bottle at Akkurat. Deep golden body with no head whatsoever. Aroma is sour acidic but also contains some sweetness like sweet fruit. Light honey and light dust in aroma as well. The flavour is light acidic with a bunch of fruit and ends up bit sweet but still crispy and tart.

Sampled on 9/10/2009. This Lambic gueuze pours a apple juice yellow gold color from a corked and caged 375ml bottle. The beer was bottled on Feb 23, 2006. A very minimal to small white foamy head. The aroma is tart, funky, horse blanket, musty and sweet. There is also a touch of oak. A medium bodied lambic/gueuze. The malts are fruity and sweet, with a lot of tartness and funkiness. There is some woodiness at the finish. There is just a touch of carbonation here, it just hits the tongue and disappears. It kind of mellow and somewhat unassuming, which I assume is from the blending. Very nice, very drinkable gueuze, its tart and funky without being over the top. Yet the tartness seems to intensify as it warms. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is tart and funky.

Another brew courtesy of Woody, thanks for sharing! Honey pour with no head or lacing. Mild sour on the nose with a sprite like fizz. Aged sour with wood textures, esters with some citrus notes. Slight dry tart finish.

Brewed in Belgium... Courtesy of Woody, thanks again !!! Pours a lite orange color with zero head. Aroma of lemons, sour apples, grapes and yeast. Taste is also of sour apples, straw, lemons and oak. Mouthfeel was thin, dry and the finish had some sour bitterness. Overall, This was a pretty decent beer.

Low carbonation. No bother. Tart. Apple. A blend obviously, so not the gueuze you expect, but nice.

Bottle shared by BA’s Woody Chandler. Poured clear gold with no head. Lots of oak and lemon on the nose along with a bit of straw. The taste was quite sour with notes of lemon, oak, straw, and cereal. Very dry, low carbonation, very tasty.
