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.

Bottle from Bierkoning. Amber hazy body with white head. Strong sour nose. Sour, sour and tart taste. Sweet as well. Totally not my thing. Plain awful.

bottle thanks to ... This one had a few years on it. Pours a cloudy amber with a white head. Nose was of vinegar and citrus fruit. Taste was sour fruit. Mouthfeel was mouth-puckering sour with some sweetness. Wow! Very nice.

Crushed with Jakebra. Excellent gueuze. Incredibly musty, sweaty, sour nose. Flavor makes the taste buds and saliva glands explode, with some wonderful light carbonation that tickles the tongue. Highly recommended.

12oz bottle. I was wildly disappointed in this beer since I love sours and I love gueze’s. This unfortunately was not good at all. Not sure why this is so highly regarded unless the bottle I had was bad (hard to tell with a gueze). Nose was highly sulfuric with tart lemon and pear. Taste is quite woody but horribly acidic. Like sucking down vomit. It scorches your throat going down, highly unpleasant. All complexities in the flavor get drowned out by the acidity which is a shame because there is some definite complexity there on the first sip. We barely got through the bottle, everyone hated it, Split with 5 people I probably had to drink 70% of it. Even the other guys in our tasting group who like sours and lambics thought this was atrocious. Very disappointing.

Bottle at TND: Aroma of tart fruit and bubblegum. Poured golden/amber/brown in color with a small white head that disappeared. Hazy. Sparkling. Flavor is heavily tart. Tastes of tart fruit and some wood. Medium body. Dry, fizzy texture. Lively carbonation. Tart fruit and slight funk finish.

37,5 bottle. Lot of pressure when opening. Nice head that lasts quite long. A lot of wild carbonation at first. Citrus smell with tones of cream. Tastes is remarkably sweet. Oak hints.

Nice golden-orange color, looks similar to the other gueuzes I’ve had. It smells citrusy and maybe some slight musty aromas. Tastes like pears and apples, and more citrus with a big sourness that is great. This is a very good beer but it lacks the funk I found in the cuvee rene which probably makes it a lot more approachable for those who are new to gueuze.

Pours a hazy golden orange with 2 finger fluffy white head. Lacing on the glass is excellent. Sour aroma with subtle hints of citrus. Big sour flavor with hints of lemon. Nicely balanced with some malt sweetness. Medium bodied with some nice carbonation. A wonderful gueze. One of my favs.
