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.

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.

Pours with a small white head covering a yellow body with plenty of particles. aroma is sour, fruity with leather melons and citrus. Taste is sour all the way through with a bit of sweetness towards the finish. Dry mouthfeel with lively bubbles.

375 ml purchased in Belgium April 2007. The cork blew when I took off the cage-fortunately no injuries reported. Gold, filtered with a small white head. Nose of bitterness, funk, tons of aroma-nice. Taste of astringency, bitterness, tartness, pucker-nish just so nice and right. Wonderfully drinkable and refreshing-wish I would have loaded up on this one. Great beer.

Bottiglia da 37.5cl comprata da "A Tutta Birra" a Milano; sarà la terza gueuze che assaggio in tutta la mia vita (non per quantità, intendo come produttore) e mi sorprende perché la trovo piuttosto diversa e mi suggerisce un discreto raggio di possibilità all’interno dello stile. Questa è decisamente vinosa, non molto acida, piuttosto corposa, con una punta d’amarognolo inusitata che si stempera in un dolciastro che lascia proprio sentori decisi di botte. Se dovessi consigliare una gueuze ad un neofita amante del vino, questa sarebbe la mia scelta; è un prodotto di alto livello ma comunque molto facile da bere, direi l’ideale per un pomeriggio d’estate o per un aperitivo. O anche per il dopopranzo, un vizietto come quello che mi sto concedendo io.

bottle thanks to bhops. nice fruity tart smell and a murky gold pour with no head. easy on the palate and the sour/tartness is actually quite controlled. it’s definitely not overpowering and it’s not underpowered. this is a great balanced gueuze.

Oh my. Pours hazy gold, aroma is sour fruit and musty/yeasty. Flaovr is fruity, not too sour... medium mouthfeel. This is an incredible beer.
