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.

Vertical vintages 1999 and 2005. The ’05 has a tart and yeasty aroma compared to the sweeter and more sour aroma of the ’99. The ’05 rather simple tart green apples with a woody dry finish. The ’99 however is much more gueze like, the sour and tartness are rounded out very nicely before fading to an earthy oakiness. Very smooth and a creamier mouthfeel that finishes with a touch of alcohol in the back of the throat.

bottle - Aroma is sour over-ripened fruit, wet horse blanket, hay, yeast, with strong tart citrus undertones. Very inviting. Pours cloudy yellow brown with a nice big quickly fading head that comes back everytime I swirl. Decent lacing. Flavor is snappy cheek puckering sour. Lemon, wet hay, horse hair, and white vinegar. They all take turns and really shine together. Palate is dry and tart. A complex and super tasty brew.

Cloudy golden-copper body with a large white head. Intense barnyard aroma. Taste is hay, green and red apples, dry branches. Acidity level is medium and I’d even say it is below average for the genre. Some brett in there adds that little “it” factor that makes it stand out even if not by much. The best gueuze? maybe, I’m not a guru of the genre. I believe that when I die I’m going to a place with unlimited supply of Black Label. Will it be heaven or hell? Depends if the labels say Girardin or Carling.

12oz bottle purchased at From the Vine in Columbus, Ohio. Orangish golden color, cloudy, with a medium white head, longer lasting. Large and funky aroma. Musty as hell, light fruitiness, citrus, barnyard. Very sharp, very sour, complex, refreshing. Delicious.

Cloudy orange colourwith a small white head. Nose is fruity, quite sour and some yeasty must followed by a citrus touch. Flavour is citrus fruit with aggressive acidicy with some barny mustiness. Hints of peaches and flowers before a nice dry finish. The sour fruit is nice and balanced making this a very nice lambic.
