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.

Golden as most gueuze with a thin white head. Faint aroma of vinegar, pineapple, lemon lime and a hint of barnyard. Salty to the taste with again pineapple and vinegar. Nice and tart but short lived on the tongue. Somewhere in the middle ground of complexity, tasty...(6, 3, 8, 4, 16)

Bottle from Quaffs.
Golden topped with a nice lasting white head. Aroma is lemon/lime, yeast, vinegar and hay. Tart and salty with lemon, vinegar and yeast, coats your mouth and leaves you wanting more. Great palate for a geuze, thick and syrupy. I can see why this is rated one of the best

The cork flew out of the bottle, but there was no beer spewage, as some others have reported. This beer pours with a nice creamy off white head. The aroma is great for the style. Nice funky tart smell. The hand pulls the glass form the mouth as the first drops hit the tongue. The acidity and tartness, while expected by the brain, still surprise the tongue. But once the tongue gets used to the tartness, it processes the flavors that were predicted by the first smell. Very complex, funky flavor. And very good. Mouthfeel is nice and light, with a lot of carbonation. Overrall, a great Gueuze.

375ml, dated 08/05. poured a semi-hazy gold with big white head. the nose bursting with sour peaches, brett, and oak. very funky nose. flavor is sour at first then smoothly develops into a really bretty flavor and that continues into really tart peach finish. finishes extremely dry. palate is lively, full, and perfect. the best gueuze i’ve had so far.

Pours hazy peach-gold with a one-finger white head. Very dirty aroma, with big barnyardy and musty notes. Fruit comes through as apple, peach, and orange. Some wood, but not so much oak barrel as green yew. Very unique flavor, even for a gueuze. The tartness and dirtiness are there, but accompanied mid-sip by a sweet, juicy, orange taste. The end is grassy and citrusy. Earthy aftertaste that I’d like to see stick around a little more than it does. Excellent.

Citrus aroma, fresh and bright. Light orange color with white frothy head. Flavor is unusual. Sour, tart with a light sweetness. Almost like the juice of some kind of pickle. Light grapefruity quality. Well carbonated and a rich palate. Natual and strong. Good overall.
