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.

375ml bottle. Poured a slightly hazy golden color with a bubbly white head that settled down quickly. Strong sour citrus aroma with muscat grapes, green apples, a lot of woodiness, and a definite musty character. Flavors were very intensely sharp and sour, with a slight bitterness. Highly carbonated, soft fizzy mouthfeel with an ultra-dry finish. This stuff is really great, I could drink it all day...

750ml bottle, hazy honey gold hue, with a white head, nice corbanation, with some horseblanket, barnyard notes in the nose, revealing a fruity accent of sour rhubard, and green apples, with a wet oakiness, a good tart and acidic, funky mustiness aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a wonderful lambic fruity tartness and sourness character, with a zesty acidic accent, note of wet hay, and oakiness, leading towards a tart, acidic dry finish. Maybe not quite enough sharp for me, but nevertheless, a very unique beer, for a very unique style.

[Bottle at The Rover in Gothenburg (Thanks Marsiblursi!)] Amber color, white head, citric aroma, and potent sour/citric taste. Awesome beer, my only regret is that I had to drink it a little faster than I would have liked as it was closing time. Going to have to pick up a bottle of this if I can find it.

Amazing balance. It retains the lambic sourness but in such a good way that it is now one of the benchmarks I have to go off of. I wish I could find this a lot more often. When I find it again though, I have dibs on a case. Spectacular sour balance, even with the sourness being completely over the top. Possibly my favourite beer ever.

Very nice representative of the style. Has a gently sophisticated funkiness to it. Sourness is not overpowering either. Just a hint of spice at the end.

I have to note this is the first gueze that I drank the entire bottle myself. The cork shot out the bottle very easily.Poured a slightly cloudy orange copper color with a large bubbled white head Served lightly chilled. Aroma was citrus, sour, funkiness. A little saison like. Flavor was tart and sour but not overbearing. Pretty easy to drink for a lambic and pretty dry overall.

Bottle sampled. Pours orange/amber with a large off-white head. Aroma of citrus, fruit, tart, and acidic. The flavor is citrus, tart, acidic, fruit, moderate carbonation. Good brew.

330ml Bottle (One Pint, Helsinki) Very lively, enormous light fluffy head. Sharp bitter aroma, very guezy. Hugely bitter and sharp taste, loads of grapefruit. Cleans the mouth and leaves a dry bitter finish that lasts for ever, leaves some malt too in the late finish.
