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: Cloudy deep orange with a fading white head. Huge horseblanket aroma. Earthy, with damp hay, old wood, just a classic wild fermentation funk. Not much carbonation in the body. Flavor has a lemon-rind tartness upfront followed by some vinegar-like characteristics and some old dried woodiness. Later one it gives off a bone dryness, and a very late lactic funk at the back of the tongue. A solid, funky Lambic.

Bottle with Pwn3d. Pours a great body - hazy orange with small white head, and sediment settling on the bottom of the glass. The aroma is horse stable, yeast, and some tart. The taste is epic - very tart, sour, citrus, sweet, and spritzer at the same time, complex.

Absolutely fantastic. One of the best Gueuzes I’ve ever had. Perfectly dry and acidic, without being overly sour or vinegar like. Great sour apple and sharp cheese notes throughout. Beautiful brett. Sparkling carbonation. Simply a masterpiece in the world of Wild Beers.

Thanks to Dim for this one Bottle poured into my tulip glass produced the required two fingers of white billowy head that lasted a while. The head then trailed of to a nice covering of lace. The body on this was a hazy orange The aromas from the glass were nice and funky. Sour apples come to mind as I whiff it again the acidity on this is very present in the nose do I dare taste it? WOW I’m glad I like sours this one is quite intense. I let my teens have a sip and they thought it was some sour head candy drink LOL. It reminds me of a crab apple or a transparent apple pie I am a sucker for a good sour apple pie. Some grapefruit citrus as well in here flavor wise. The mouthfeel is crisp and dry good carbonation very refreshing Drinkability is a strange question for a sour I finished the bottle, but Do you want to do more than one sour at a sitting? I enjoyed the brew and would gladly drink it again. Truly a great brew and deserves to be tried by every sour fan

Clear yellow-orange color with a modest white head that sticks around surprisingly long for such an acidic style. Aroma is sour/tart citruses like lemon, lime, and orange. Very funky and wild. Pretty sharp vinegar taste with influence from the sweeter citrus notes. Finish is puckering and funky. Bone dry and refreshing, with great carbonation. One of the easier to drink gueuzes I’ve had.
