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.

Sample (thanks omhper!). Honeyish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is tartness, some wood, acidity and some earthy and very brett like notes. Like a Cantillon or 3F nose actually. Flavour is brett, some wood, tart fruits and a bunch of earth. On par with the really good lambics.

Bottle: Poured a dirty golden color lambic with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of funky ester with some tart notes and some oak presence. Taste is also a mix of funky ester with some barnyard notes and some tart notes with some oak presence also perceptible. Body is about average with excellent carbonation. Easy drinking lambic with a nice level of complexity.

2020 vintage. 750mL bottle at Bridge & Tunnel, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out moderate barnyard funk, leather and a touch of earthy citrus. Flavour is funky, with old cardboard, barnyard funk, and leather. Complex and well-made. Very good but a touch below some of the more elite gueuzes.

On tap at Avenue Pub. Pours a cloudy orange gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is funk, wood, spice. Thin body, wood, funk, leather, apple skin, light tartness, very nice.

75cl Fles van Drankgigant. Heeft wat haast om uit de fles te komen. Troebel diepgouden kleur, witte kraag. Friszuur, stal, licht funky, nat hooi, citroen, licht moutig, wat gist, hout, droog, mildzure smaak, niet heel verfijnd maar wel een zeer aangenaam bier.

--Bottled, from Glasbanken! -- Lightky hazy golden, mid sized head. Citric nose with horseblanket anf hay. Tart with light body and crisp, rounded mouthfeel, prickly carbonation. Lemo zest and horseblanket, some minerals. Some stale hpo bitterness. Elegant and complex. De Ranke style-stylishness and elegance meets gueuze.

2019 bottle. Clear golden color with hardly any head. Aroma is lemon peel, stinky feet, leather, great Lambiek character. Taste is again leather, barn, lemon peel, dry finish, makes you smack your lips. Hardly carbonated still, just a tiny fizz. This is somehow hardly a Geuze because of the lack of carbonation, but then again it's not your average base Lambiek either. It's very characterful either way, I like!
