As big fans of geuze-style beers, we wanted to give our own spontaneous fermentation beer a go. To our own surprise, with success. Aside from our own Spierelambiek - our spontaneously fermented beer named after a tiny river that runs near the brewery - we use two traditional lambieks from the valley of the Senne (close to Brussels) to make a blend. One, two and three year old lambieks are used in Mirakel, our own miracle.

Bottle, bottled nov 2019. Color: Clear golden, large white head. Nice lacing. Aroma: Funky, fruity unripe grape, gooseberry. Taste: Moderate tart, very light bitterness. Rural funk, minerally, oak wood, fruity citrus fruit, some unripe grape and gooseberry. Dry-ish mouthfeel, some tannins. Medium body, below average carbonation. Quite smooth, a little creamy mouthfeel. Aged very well, although there's no cork on the bottle. Maybe it's time for a new batch of this nice Geuze, De Ranke?

Bottle shared with the boys. Barnyard, light phenols, funk, apple skin, citruses, and the most surprising of all, sesame. Loads of it. What's there not to love?

2020 version. Aromas are yeast, fresh cut grass, spice, with a little honey and dry grain. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, moderately tart with some bitter and back and a hint of sweet. Good body and crisp carbonation. Thirst quenching finish. Good stuff.

750 ml bottle. Thanks to Travlr on the share! 2019 vintage. Flavor is cheese, oak, funk, and mildly lactic. Pretty balanced all considering. Very good!

750mL 2019 bottle, drunk 3/18/23. Clear blonde bronze. Wispy head. Heavy Brett, pepper, spice, oak, wow this is lovely. Soft, poopy, juicy, kinda flabby and green appley reminding of boom, but it's actually not flabby and is spicy, juicy, heavily Bretty. Nice. Cheesey lactic and stone fruit. Nice.
