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.

(37.5cl bottle thanks to petematte46) Rating #100. Pours a pale opaque yellow with great head and lacing. Nose is alcohol, sour cherry, and funky. Taste is bitter/sour and puckers the inside of my mouth. Finish is fantastic. Really appreciative of this one.

Flavour and aroma wise one of my favourite Gueuzes. Very funky with a balanced acidity, lemon, cheese, animals, hay and acidic apples. Mouthfeel is a bit watery but its forgiven as it actually adds to its drinkability. Lovely luxurious dry finish.

Bottle (recolte 2005): Orangey coloured, visible carbonation, cloudy, small - slowly collapsing - loose white head; solid nose: citric acid, horse blanket and a distinctive touch of wood; solid dry sourish flavour, a bit fizzy, medium bodied; lingering finish: citric acid, green apples, wood and lactic acid. Excellent, complex Gueuze, moreish..........

Bottle wired and corked into tumbler. Pours a hazy copper with a very lively, soda-like white head that dissipate but leaves a good thin layer to protect this lambic. Tons of yeast floaties in there too. Aroma is apple cider vinegar, white grape, leather, some baby powder, and other funky notes. Taste up front is sparkling apple juice then moves to ultra sourness- insanely sour. Finish shows off with fruity notes of raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. Very drinkable and fun to try. I’m not a lambic expert but this seems well executed and I like it.

Bright golden color, with a bit of amber, and a bit of lace. Aroma of green apples, apple cider, barnyard, citrus, and some biscuity maltiness. Very tangy, but with controlled sourness. Flavors of green apples, lemon, and some dusty funk. Really great balance, and highly drinkable.

Rating #700. Pours hazy copper color with white head. Funky barnyard, leather aromas. Tart lemon rind flavor with lots of sourness. Light to medium body with lively carbonation and a dry finish. Excellent.

Pours a delightful medium amber with a two finger off white head. Nice funky aroma with some green grape and citrus. Flavor is complex and refreshing, with grapefruit, green apple, funk, and some sourdough. Very crisp and refreshing without being too sour. This is a very fine effort.
