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. Gusher. Orange golden colour. Cloudy from yeast. Crisp refreshing apricot aroma. Distant barnyard aromas. Delicate, but sharp flavours. Orange and lemon. Very distinct flavours and not the extreme acidity that one can find in other similar beers. Notes of cork in the finish.

Black label after all. Hazy light golden colour, white lasting head. Aroma: sour, apple. Flavours: sour apple, cider. Lots of carbonation. Medium bitterness. Sour dry aftertaste. All in all a good beer, but I reckon I have to get used to this kind to really appreciate it.

I’m not a fan of sour beer ,but this gives a different idea of what a good sour beer could taste like. the carbonation goes quite simple with the sourness. More Citrusy then acidic.

The aroma is sour and tart with funky wild stuff and herbs. The appearance is hazy gold. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. This is hard to drink but at least it’s carbonated.

Bottle. Pours orange gold with an off-white head. Aroma is powerful tart acidity, with lots of ripe fruit, orange, and dungeon. Flavor is initially a strong lemon tart, with more flavors coming put toward the finish, floral notes, grapefruit, and even some lightly sweet oaky notes.

Pours a nice golden color with an actual head on it that lasted (first for my lambic experiences as most are pretty flat). Smell is insanley sour and tart, this was the first beer to actually make me nostrils tingle. Very musty and dark smelling. Taste is gorgeous! Wow, wonderfull sourness mixed with some light citrus to go with it. Man this is good lambic, now I know why people rave so much about them. I would drink this any day, possibly the best thing I’ve ever tasted!

Slightly hazy golden/orange color with a white head. Aroma of sourness, citrus and some barnyard. Very sour with some bitterness. Finish is also bitter.
