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 in pint glass. Pours slight hazy orange with small white head that leaves a lasting ring and no lacing. Aroma of hay, lemons, and sweat. Very tart starting flavor of old lemons and (what I believe to be ) horseblanket. Very dry finish that leaves tartness in the throat. Medium high carbonation. Extremely complex, refreshing, and an excellent example of the style. Wow.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is enormously sour fruits with some nice yeasty and slightly acidic notes. Flavour is dry, sour fruits and very pleasant. Mouthdrying, but also refreshing.

Bottle. Average fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Fair lacing. Light cloudy amber colour with particles in flow. Heavy fruit notes with pear, peach apple and some dusty notes as well. Some underlying vinegar and citrus can be felt. Medium to full bodied with an average carbonation. Flavour was moderated sour with some sweet notes as well. Nice dry and sour finish.

Bottle. 09/05. Pours hazy orange. Small creamy white head. Interesting aroma: funk, sour, sulphur, bleu cheese, musty attic, wet hay, fruit beginning to rot (these are all good aromas). Quite firm on the palate. Bracingly sour and yeasty flavor. Finishes incredibly dry.

Is not sulphur and rubber like other "gueuze" beer, but is fruity like drinking Belgium beer with apples. I will drinking many bottles in Belgium beer tour but is also not trappist. Not sugar beer again and there are no hops.

Nice copper color with a lemony-sour flavor. Faintly musty and barny, and the tartness is controlled, making this a complex but relatively melow and drinkable oude gueuze. Certainly refreshing, and a heavenly combo with my escaveche.

Bottle @ Brugs Beertje, Brugge. One finger off-white head over a hazy light golden body. Nice, fresh acidic/tart citrus to the nose. Notes of wood (oak?), cellar and earth. Taste is fruity with a highly refreshing sourness. Lingering tart and fruity finish. Nice and very quenching.
