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.

Sparkling, golden colour and a rocky white head. A well balanced gueze with aroma of apple and grapes. Dry texture and lively carbonation exploting out of the bottle. Moderate sour finish.

Pours a clear, golden color with a fluffy, white head. Lots of great natural carbonation here. Tart aroma, laced with citrus and hay, an earthy quality. Sour mouthfeel, it attacks the entire back region of the tongue. Dry, bitter finish. A great Gueuze.

Hazy golden with goodies floating around. Small off white head. Nice sour aroma that contains grapes, wood, hay and leather. Woody sour flavor with lemon and good complexity. Finishes of rather sour. Brilliant!

Originally received a 4.2 from me on 10/4/05. Tart and musty; plenty of stink. Soured and nose-crinkling. Dry powdery finish. Sometimes toiling to get through. All that said, it was an overall enjoyable experience. I felt accomp,ished finishing it.

375 ml bottle. Pours a clear dark gold body on first pour, fairly cloudy on second. Fairly large fluffy fizzy off-white head. Lots of visible carbonation. Aroma is quite funky and just full of stinky cheese and almost-spoiled yogurt. Lots of cellar mustiness and barnyard notes. Quite brash and young smelling. Flavor is much the same, quite tart and funky with minimal acidity. Finishes bone dry, yet there’s almost a dry powdery sugar taste just before the mustiness and light cork take over. Not a whole lot of brett presence. Mouthfeel is very dry with a crisp tartness. Great lively efforvescent carbonation, pretty much perfect. Overall, just about perfect for what I want from a "young" Oude Gueuze. All this needed for greatness was a few years in the cellar.

Great color, pale yellow on the sides of the glass, light amber in the middle. strong carbonation sustaining the thick cotton head. smells like a sour ale and cider. lots of granny smith apple and bartlett pear. very very dry. much more bitter than anything else. ends with a flavor like a tart and acidic underripe pear.

375 ml. bottle from Stegosaurus - thanks Joe. Clear gold with a creamy, off white, medium head that settles quickly. Lots of fruitiness, mostly citrus and apple, under an earthy funkiness. The aroma is quite complex, changing as it warms. Lively effervescence and medium body complement an acidic, cleansing palate. The flavor is dominated by the sourness, but there is a light toffee flavor in the background, all culminating in a very dry finish. The more I drink, the more I like it. Definitely better as it warms up, with much of the harshness vanishing, and the complexities more apparent.
