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 a beautiful, glowing gold with a foamy, white head. Strong soured fruit aroma of Belgian yeast and citrus. Taste is a similar soured fruit citrus at first. This settles very smoothly into a sweet tart, bready finish. Tastes like it underwent a secondary with some champagne yeast. Nice carbonation kick. Very complex palate, especially as it warms.

Golden color with a med-large head. Aroma is tremendous - funky and sour with some nice barrel effects and citrusy goodness. Flavor was a bit heavy on the citrus at first, but settled nicely into a funky-sour masterpiece - citrus, earth, and wood. Nice mouthfeel with a good pucker factor. A really good gueuze that I need more of.

Delicious gueuze and all it’s cracked up to be. Thanks, mcbackus! Aroma was big and nice. Strong funk, barnyard floor and wet blanket. Pour was a nice bubbly orange with a pillowy 2 finger off white head. Taste was nice and mouth puckering. Strong wood, earth and funk with a hint of cheese and vinegar. Complex and absolutely delicious. Heaven in a bottle.

Don’t have pets so the "cat pee smell" I can’t truly associate with. This beer is a hazy gold with a small white ring of a head. Aroma is extremely sour with hints of grapefruit and oak. Taste is extremely puckering...you can feel it in the jaw and throat. Interesting but I probably wouldn’t purchase again...especially at the $$$.

I fail to understand the true appeal of the lambic. These beers are so incredibly expensive and heavily aged--lets get some barley wines with 2 years of age on them by default. This one was very sweet and intensely, brutally, overwhelmingly acidic. Exactly like drinking Sprite with vinegar. Much grapiness in the flavors also, like sour cherry champagne that is foot-in-mouth bitter. I really like this beer however, and since Impy Stout and Barley Wine are the only styles I judge by style and not flavor, I will have to reluctantly rate this very high.
