Very dense, irregular, cream-coloured head over very lively carbonated pinkish copper-orange beer. Brettanomyces, vinous, pink fruit, lambic-y. Preserved orange on lambic & winemost. Orangepeel, grapeskins, liqueurish. Quite good carbonation, bit chewy/oily. Faint alcoholimpression, even idea of fusels. We're curious about how this beer was achieved. Top fermenting beer in used lambic casks? Mixed fermentation before barreling? Other? Intruiging. Txs to Stef!

Bottle. Moderate gusher. Dirty orange with a dense cream head that lasts all the way. Aroma is funky with apricots, nectarines, dough, spices, old lemons - others have mentioned Orval + gueuze but it smells a bit heavier. Creamy texture with fairly high carbonation. Lots of stone fruit and old lemons, zingy, spicy and bitter at the end. Not as focused at the end as it might be, but really good. A brewery to chase.

Oak aged version of Cuvée Devillé, the beer that first drew more widespread attention to this Herberg brewery; this ‘golden’ oaked edition was launched together with their first (and successful) traditional geuze so it got a bit ‘crowded out’ by all the attention the geuze got, but being familiar with Herberg’s mastery of classic Belgian top fermentation, I was looking forward to trying this one too. Light gusher so open with care. Thick and frothy, egg-white, thickly shred-lacing, dense and stable head on a hazy warm peach blonde beer with orangey-amberish tinge and minute, disparate yeast and protein dots everywhere. Wild and ‘Bretty’ bouquet in an ‘organized’ kind of way: green apples, unripe peach, white grapes, damp hay, soggy old bread, rusk, gooseberry juice, dried out lemon peel, sour cream, vanilla-tinged wet oak wood, banana peel, yellow plum, dry rosé wine, jute. Fruity-estery onset, lively, impressions of purple gooseberries, yellow plums and green apples with a dash of white grape, sweetish with a tart edge, medium carbonation; supple, old-biscuity, bread-crusty and ground-peanutty malt core soaked in ‘wild’ and somewhat ‘animalistic’ Brettanomyces effects, sweaty and hayish but most of all very fruity (medlar, gooseberry, grape). Ends estery, drying and complex with a deep tone of moist woodiness (exuding some vanilla) and lactic tartness; the Brett has clearly absorbed quite a lot of the floral, leafy hop bitterness that is so much more outspoken in the regular, non-oaked version. Very fruity, rich and complex, but remaining very ‘Belgian’ as well (not that this is a bad thing, of course), almost holding the middle between aged Orval and traditional geuze, but in a soft, balanced, altogether accessible, but wonderfully pictured way. I love this kind of beer ‘nobility’, evoking an atmosphere of damp cellars filled with wooden casks…

Bottle from Geers. Light gusher. Deep orange colour, white creamy foam. Nose of citrus, brett, some peach. Taste is tart, some sweet hints, notes of wheat, medium hoppy bitter finish. Good.

Bottle. Beware, hugh gusher. Color: Hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Malt, slightly tart, fruity, Brett funk. Taste: Light to moderate tart, fruity stone fruit and yellow fruit, Brett funk, some yeast. Light sweet and bitter, a little bit more bitterness at the finish. Oak, wet wood. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Medium body, below average carbonation. Like a Belgian Pale Ale blended with some Lambic. I was surprised by the quite strong Brett, not what I expected according to the label, but as a Brett lover this was a positive surprise. Quite nice overall.

Gushing wchuj. Aromaty drewniano-dzikusowe, dzikusy skorzano apteczne. Za duzo tej apteki dla mnie. Jakies tez slodkie owocowoprzyprawowe klimaty. Dziwne piwo, ale zaledwie niezle
