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 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.

Bottle at Hamilton’s for "Boobies and Beer". Thanks to the guy, whose name I didn’t get, for pouring me a taster of this for no good reason at all. I owe you big time. I sat there for a couple of minutes just smelling. I couldn’t bring myself to drink it immediately because it simply smelled wonderful. I would sniff and smile. My mouth was watering with the anticipation, but I just couldn’t help myself. When I finally did get around to drinking it, I was not disappointed at all. It was definitely tart/sour, but not shockingly so. The fruit flavor burst and tingled like fireworks, and left with puckering dry mouth. I think I might be in trouble with this one, at $XX.XX bucks a bottle.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange with tall off-white head. The aroma is spicy and very earthy with a good lactic sourish hint and some dank cellar and white cheese. The flavor is quite sour, with a quite assertive spicy yeast quality. Earth and leather tones are throughout, but a little bit of a floral hint sneaks out once in a while. It finishes very dry, with an unexpected orange-blossom note. Delicious.

Bottle courtesy of dchmela. Wowsers, this is good. Deep golden hazy pour with orange tint. Yeasty sour nose, some great leather and horseblanket as well as some strawberries and notes of acetic acid. Lovely dusty aroma. Not overly sour on the palate, but definitely tingles and has a great little bite on the back and sides of the tongue. Playful and fun, and oh-so-delicious.

Bottle opens with a wonderful pop and strong whiff of sour tart cheesy gueze! Dark golden/orange pour with sparse large bubbles and a white sudsy head. Strong dusty, yeast aroma that stings the nostrils. So super tart and sour. Great cheesy finish. Mild acidity, doesn’t bother the throat at all. Medium/light body with light but larger fizzy carbonation.
