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.

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.

(Bottle) Pours hazy golden orange. Small white head. Light woody and light fruity aroma. Medium sour and acid. Some cheese like notes but the nose is very fresh. Also some hints of rhubarb and sour berries. Medium sour/acid, well balanced flavour with some woody notes and some fruits in the finish. Medium to full mouthfeel and body. Mega dry ending. Nice and refreshing.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Hazy, amber golden with floating impurities and an off-white head. Sourish, vinous aroma with some wood. Medium body, lightly sweet caramel and a distinct sourness. Again these lovely wooden flavours. Sour finish. 090507

Love this gueuze. I have difficulty convincing my friends to enjoy sour beers, but I can’t get enough. Powerful and pronounced sour yeast notes in the nose and taste. My initial pour, I got mostly head due to my impatience. When I did it right, I received a one inch, fluffy head that resided to nothing.The beer appeared with an orange, mellow gold color. Barely any lacing with extreme carbonation. The aftertaste of sour apple, citrus, and Jolly Rancher was cloying and lingering. Simply delicious.

A fond geuze, non filtered. A smell of citrus fruits and a very sour taste makes this a very nice and tasty geuze

Pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. Sour citrusy aromas immediatly filled the room when popped. Flavors of grapefruit with a tart apple finish. Wife said she could appreciate how well made it was but she didn’t really care for it. I thought it was very quaffable.

Bottle. As soon as the cork was popped, that familiar sour funk filled the air. Pours a bright golden amber with a frothy white head. Amazing lacing on this brew. Aroma is very nice, dry, sweet, tart, with good funky barnyard mustiness. Flavor is quite exceptional, with a great complexity of honeysweet grapefruit finishing in a lasting tart yet dry citrus finish. Palate is bit full-bodied for the style, but the carbonation helps lift it off the tongue. I’d love to try this with a few years on it.
