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 from a trade with mcbackus. pours hazy brown with a very fizzy white head that is gone quickly. aromas are typical gueuze with cidery apples standing out. flavours are complex and sour. insanely drinkable and very well balanced. i great example of a wondeful style. its really to bad i have no way of getting any good gueuze without trading for them. thx mcbackus for this amazing brew!

Thanks to Solan for this one! Hazy orange pour fluffy off white head. Tart aroma very lemony. Nice and tart with a crisp clean finish!

Bottle gift to aid my lambic education from Mes. Cloudy orange colour. A delight to freshen the palate in the middle of big session. Not too sweet, not too tart, not too dry. Beltissimo.

Clean copper pour with bubbly white head and no lace. Medium malt and sour on the nose. A very clean sour ale it was like a palate cleaner. Very full and aggressive carbonation. Very nice sour beer that leaves your mouth feeling clean and fresh.

pours a brillant amber color with abundant carbonation and the best head retention I’ve ever seen in a lambic. left lots of lacing on the glass. aroma was apple cider viniger, cellar notes, funk, and horseblanket. flavor was much of the same, but very round. light astringent mouthfeel. Finish has some lemon intermixed with the horseblanket and acidic notes. somewhere inbetween a drie fountainen and a Cantillon. Damn near perfect.

Trade thanks to CaptainCougar. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Sour and yeasty nose. First taste was off the hook sour. But i couldn’t stop, I kept going back for more. Each mouthful brought on a new fruit, yet pulled the moisture from my palate.
