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 @ Brugs Beertje, Brugge. One finger off-white head over a hazy light golden body. Nice, fresh acidic/tart citrus to the nose. Notes of wood (oak?), cellar and earth. Taste is fruity with a highly refreshing sourness. Lingering tart and fruity finish. Nice and very quenching.

Bottled..Lovely apple aroma. Cider-like sourness, sure, bot the sourness is not overwhelming. Metallic edge, some citrus flavour. Very refreshing. A lingering lemon finish(!)

Pours a hazy golden color with a moderate white head. Aroma is dry, winey, cidery, pleasant but mild. Taste is the same with just a little bit of tartness, sourness, and barnyard. The flavor was surprisingly subdued and mild. It was nice and balanced but compared to other lambics I’ve had it was not exceptional. Good but I prefer the 3 Fonteinen Geuze over this.

Medium white head. Hazy opaque yellow body.Sour earthy barnyard aroma with wooden metallic notes. More rounded and than other lambics. Intense wooden earthy barnyard taste with metallic notes. Sour, but not too sour. Dry, sour, metallic, lemony aftertaste. Very good for a gueuze. (0.375l bottle.)

orange glow with thin gray white head. sour lemons, with butter and apples aroma. very tart and dry flavor has the traditional sweaty leather flavor, a tart green apple barnyard cider...classic greuze...a beautiful example. a must for everyone.

vintage 06/01. Hazy orange with off white head. Aroma of malts, fruity (apples & orange family)vinegar, Sour leather & earhty vinegar is the best words to descibe this. Perhaps mudd & dirt is a little strong but this is a "hard to obtain" brew. Dry end!! Fresh bottle Carlsens Kvarter June 09. Fresh, dry, manuer, tart, lemon and woody. The level of complexity a lot lower than 3 font or Cantillon. Still pretty nice. Shorter end also. Dry . . 3,7 - 3,8

Rating #100. Bottle from Kingdom Liquors Brandon, Fl. Pours a clear golden orange with a small white head that fades to a ring and leaves decent lacing. Aroma is acidic and fruity with notes of tart apples and lemon. Taste is the same as aroma just more of it. Very dry and tart. This beer is amazing. I wish I could afford to drink this beer daily.
