Sorry to drag this thead on, but...

From Wild Brews:
Peer into Armand’s barrel stores, and you will find them spotless and temperature-controlled, conditions once considered impractical and cost-prohibitive to lambic brewers or blenders. Absent is an acetic or "barnyard" character many people associate with gueuze, replaced by the oak and citrus Armand relates to a fine wine. All gueuze drinkers do not favour this subtlety among gueuze...


I didn’t spend long at 3F but it was much like a regular brewery in terms of cleanliness. I’m speculating but I wouldn’t be surprised if De Cam was temperature-controlled too. The contrast between the stores at those two and Cantillon or Hanssens seemed very significant to me.
