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.

Bright golden color, with a bit of amber, and a bit of lace. Aroma of green apples, apple cider, barnyard, citrus, and some biscuity maltiness. Very tangy, but with controlled sourness. Flavors of green apples, lemon, and some dusty funk. Really great balance, and highly drinkable.

Rating #700. Pours hazy copper color with white head. Funky barnyard, leather aromas. Tart lemon rind flavor with lots of sourness. Light to medium body with lively carbonation and a dry finish. Excellent.

Pours a delightful medium amber with a two finger off white head. Nice funky aroma with some green grape and citrus. Flavor is complex and refreshing, with grapefruit, green apple, funk, and some sourdough. Very crisp and refreshing without being too sour. This is a very fine effort.

Bottle. Deep golden with a small lasting egg white head. Aromas of wood, musty basement, apples, dirty dog and berries. Tart and dry flavour with notes of balsamic vinegar, wood, sour berries and lemons.

girardin black label gueuze cloudy light gold, yellowish thick foam very funky aroma, citrus, especially lemon peel fairly high on the sour scale, but very little vinegar, mostly lemon and horsey funk super dry and astringent, a bit thin, even for gueuze

Bottle shared by the powerful durhambeer - thanks, Bob! Very nice hazy orange pour with a much more lusty head than I expected from a gueuze. Splendid tart apple aroma, with dry must and wood. Some vinous notes for sure, as Bob suggested. The finish is sour in a particularly red grapefruit-y way for me. Delicious, complex, and surprisingly drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a bubbling golden orange with a white head. Brett, sweet tarts, lemon in aroma and taste. A pretty good Gueuze

Bottle. Huge head with excellent duration. Color is hazy golden. Aroma and taste are sour with lots of lactose acid, but still fairly mild and sweet in comparison to other gueze beers. Very enjoyable.
