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.

Couleur cuivrée, orangée. Donne un peu de mousse blanche au service, mais laisse une dentelle riche. Légèrement voilée. Parfum de pomme, de levures et de champignons frais, On sent bien le caractère surette de la bière. Le goût est légèrement sucré, amer et suret ensuite, une vraie cascade de différents registres de saveurs. Le palais est rond, bien mousseux et frais. Je l’ai bue bien froide, après avoir couper l’herbe et je vous donne ma parole que cette bière rafraîchit et désaltère mieux que n’importe qu’elle Lager ou Pilsner! Fantastique, c’est différent de la GRANDE majorité des bières, à essayer!

Bottle. Pours perfect - huey orange with tons of floaters, its white head retains throughout session. Nose is farmhouse funk. Mouth is eye openingly ripe, dry, fruity (lemon) and sharp. Spritzer carbonation brings everything together. Acts like a Flemish Sour. Wonderful.

Really nice aroma on this beer. I’m only just getting into sours and I think they are starting to grow on me. This is a great example. Sour apple aroma, as well as a barnyard funkiness. Murky golden pour with chunks evident. Not the sour puckering flavor of some in this style, but that is definitely a good thing. Very good in fact. May be my favorite sour to date.

Small sample at OSLO and Guerde’s tasting on Friday, 5-23-08. Labeled as "Gueuze Girardin 1882." Pours a hazy gold with a small amount of beige head. Sharp, salty, lemon, and sour apple aroma. Dry, quite sour flavor. Very cool, different sort of taste that reminds me of tonic water (I mean that as a compliment). Bitter finish. Fizzy in the palate.

Bottle with Pwn3d. Pours a great body - hazy orange with small white head, and sediment settling on the bottom of the glass. The aroma is horse stable, yeast, and some tart. The taste is epic - very tart, sour, citrus, sweet, and spritzer at the same time, complex.

Nice tart aroma, with a bit of underlying funk. Pours a clear light amber, with a large quickly fading white head. Nice tart flavor, hints of green apples and lemons, light on the palate and very dry. Overall, a very good gueuze.

37,5 cl bottle. Hazy golden/amber color, white head. Aroma is sour. Flavor is sour, wood, some sweetnes from malt. Vinous. Balanced. Very nice!

Sampled at OSLO/Guerde’s Memorial Day tasting. Pours a semi-hazy golden amber gueuze with a fizzy white head that has nice retention and a thick white ring. Aroma of sour barnyard funk, yeast, grapefruit, wet blanket and some white pepper. Taste is spritzy tart citrus zest, yeast, a touch of grapefruit, some floral character and a touch of herbs. Finish is just as sour as its flavor with a very dry citrus and light skonk character. One of the funkiest gueuzes I’ve tried.
