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.

Hazy dark orange pour. Thick sour aroma, strange barnyard tones. Flavor is orange juice mixed with malt liquor -- a "brass monkey." Slightly better than that. All the flavors are too strong, and there’s no elegance or subtlety. There are some good sour flavors coming out, but overall I am disappointed. It’s hard for me to describe lambics, but I know I’ve had good ones and bad ones, and this is not what I would call a good one. All I get, honestly, is the orange juice/malt liquor blend flavor from this.

375ml @ Hamilton’s. Shared with Tony. Pours light orange. Nose is pure funk with a big ole kick in the head. Taste is sweet and sour funk with a nice barnyard bucker. Damn good gueze.

Aroma is huge crisp citrus and malt. Very nice, crisp, sour aroma. Taste is very acidic, bretty and citrus. Smells all farmy. Finishes somewhat bitter and acidic with a lingering tartness and dull bitterness on the back of the tongue. Very nice.

One of the world’s killer lambics awaits you in the black label. Sour but smooth--delightful gueze! Bursting with flavor and character. Nuanced. Worth seeking out and/or revisiting.

Color is organge and hazy with a thin white foamy head. Aroma is that of champagne with a spicy orange and tart odor. Palate extremely carbonated and dry with multiple layers of taste. Taste is somewhat like champagne-sour apple with notes of cork. Smooth unique dry finish

Sparkling, golden colour and a rocky white head. A well balanced gueze with aroma of apple and grapes. Dry texture and lively carbonation exploting out of the bottle. Moderate sour finish.

Pours a clear, golden color with a fluffy, white head. Lots of great natural carbonation here. Tart aroma, laced with citrus and hay, an earthy quality. Sour mouthfeel, it attacks the entire back region of the tongue. Dry, bitter finish. A great Gueuze.
