Commercial Description:
Unfiltered.
De houten ton is een Gallische uitvinding, die gebruikt werd voor het gisten als voor het bewaren van wijn als bier. Ten opzichte van de amforen hadden ze veel voordelen : ze waren lichter, konden een grotere inhoud bevatten, waren minder fragiel en waren ook nog handiger, want men kon ze rollen. De tonnen en pijpen die Breughel schilderde kunnen zo afkomstig zijn uit het tonnenmagazijn van elke Pajottenlandse lambikbrouwer (of daar nog staan ...). Houten tonnen werden algemeen gebruikt tot het begin van de vorige eeuw.

375 ml bottle- pours an orange golden with very good clarity and moderate head. Very delicate lacing. Nose- lemon, must, oak, hay. Taste- juicy sourness, dry green apple, lemon zest and dry oak finish. Medium carbonation, and actually has a smooth texture. Drinkable as all hell.

[Bottle] shared by milkmandan. Pours gold with an effervescent white head. Aroma is chlorine, subtle, lots of funk, and some barrel character. Flavor has a moderate sourness, and is funky, minerally, and dry.

Bottle. Poured a hazy amber color with a large creamy white head that lasted. Good citrus and yeast aroma. Medium body. Moderate sour fruit flavor with a long citrus finish. Very good refreshing citrus brew. Holly crap this stuff is good.

Bottle shared. Beer poured a cloudy orange with lots of carbonation. Aroma is very funky - a little hard for me to describe with my slim lambic/sour knowledge. Taste is also funky. Some oak and plenty of tart fruit. Body was light and nicely carbonated. Finish was tart. A very good lambic.

Bottle from Sam’s Clybourn. Unsure of the vintage, cork says x01m9 or something. Pours a wonderfully clear IPA gold with a fluffy/fizzy white head. Nose is sweet grain, clean acidity, very soft, minimal barnyard if at all, lemons, lactic. Taste is powerful. There is a very dry aspect to this with very green apples and very underripe cherries, tannic type bitterness. I also get a pleasant sweetness in the far reaches, as well as a level of grain. It’s funny, I thought I knew what a gueuze should taste like having had a few, but this one to me is gueuze. I need to try the 3F vintage stuff now, I can only imagine it to be perfect... As this one warms, it just keeps getting better. slight skunk from the hops (in a good way), peaches and apricots. I think I get it now, after reading Wild Brews. It’s not an acid bomb, it’s just a perfect beverage...

bottle from Kingom Liquor in Brandon, FL. my experience with lambics is from european travels and I’m not well versed on the style at this point. that said -- hazy yellow pour with two fingers of bright white head and lots of lacing. aroma is a mix of soured apple and citrus. first thought on taste is it’s far more drinkable than most I’ve had. tart, bitter, sour -- but leaves you wanting more. long dry vinegar and apple finish. definitely a style I’m looking forward to exploring more and definitely an exceptional beer.
