Very good, just off-white head, stable, over veiled orange-golden beer. Leather polish, horseblanket, Bretts, farmyard, green apples, seafruit, acids. Mineral-dry, farmyard. Ultra-special, mineral-hardboard, faintly hard pears (rather than the apples from the nose); leather, sawdust. Light to medium bodied, with some acidthinning; very well-carbonated, slick. Mind-blowing original flavour (this dry, crisp minerality), never before in a gueuze. I'm flabbergasted. And delighted.

Bottle. Color: Slightly hazy golden, stable white head. Nice lacing. Aroma: Oak wood, some horse blanket funk. some fruity tartness. Taste: Smooth mouthfeel. Moderate to over moderate tartness, fruity citrus fruit, some lemon and gooseberry. Oak wood, a little vanilla-like sweetness, horse blanket funk, light hints of leather. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Classic Oude Geuze. Nice one overall.

The third private label lambic by the The Brett House Janssens; immediately following a geuze and kriek produced at Lambiek Fabriek, this Pajottinga geuze comes from another of the newer lambic producers that managed to make a name for themselves, namely Den Herberg. Snow white, tiny-bubbled, stable, slowly opening head on a hazy peach blonde robe with warmer orange glow. Aroma of preserved lemons, pickled apricots, green olives, unripe oranges, Bretty 'horseblanket', wet old wood, gherkin, wood sorrel, redcurrant, dry earth, old leather, damp hay. Tart, estery onset, full-on traditional geuze with all the unripe stonefruit, sour berries and green apples one expects, edged with a lemony streak but altogether quite 'mals', with lively effervescence and vinous mouthfeel. Bread-crusty 'soil' under yoghurty lactic acidity, ongoing sour fruitiness and growing tannic woodiness, further 'complicated' by Brettanomyces funkiness bringing very old Parmigiano, old cracked leather and the classic 'horseblanket' aromas. Long, elegant, complex finish, drying, full-bodied and tying wood, fruitiness, acidity and maltiness together in one bundle of classically styled geuze splendor. Kudos to Den Herberg, this is one mighty fine example of its style, classic as it may be.
