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.

Pours incredibly cloudy, with the carbonation of champagne. The head dissipates quickly. Citrus fruits - lemon, lime and grapefruit - maybe some other tart fruits, with a spectacular balance of sweet and bitter. Some funk on the nose, but not in the flavor. This is wonderful stuff. Makes your mouth water in anticipation of the next sip.

Thanks to ajm for the sample. There’s a reason that this was my first (and possibly last) Gueuze I’ve tried. Pours a hazy copper color from the bottle with a trim white head. Smells of cheap rose-based perfume and unripe fruit. Tastes of strawberries, apple, and faint peach -- none of which approach ripeness. Hard for me to tell the difference between this and a sour beer.

’04 bottle from Bottleworks. insanely quick cork pop, more than any champagne i’ve had. Weak copper appearance with a quickly disappearing head. Smells of champagne yeast, old fermented cider and fruit. Puckering tart ... but very well balanced. Wonderful ... cannot wait for more.

Bottle from Lone Hill. Nice raunchy aroma of sour grapes, yeast and an undertow of bleu cheese. Flavors nicely unripened strawberry, tart apple, sour grass if there is such a thing. Very nice.

Popped the cork and it bounced off the ceiling. Aroma is lemon and grass. Color is a cloudy gold with a sizable, fluffy white head that diminishes but leaves nice lacing. Taste is lemon/lime citrus fruit plus moderate acidity and bitterness making this tasty and drinkable. Little to no funk in the aroma or flavor. Expensive but damn good.

This is the shit! From the lush sound of the cork briskly leaving the bottle to the last remainds of geast in the bottom of the glas this beer is pure pleasure. It has the acidity and the taste explosion of a world class gueze. Not a single flavor stands out, since it’s all perfect balanced. A jewel for lovers of gueze.

Pours a hazy orange with an off white head. Aroma has hints of lemons and vinegar. Highly carbonated with a light feel. Taste is slightly bitter and sour with citrus taste.

Bottle. Pours a light light orange with a small white head, lots of carbonation. Aroma of lots of tart, sour funk, sweettart candies, light banana. Aroma of nice sweet tartness. Not a lot of funk in this beer, just sour/sweet tartness. Very nice gueuze, very drinkable.
