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.

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.

A golden ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with ground cherries, lactic acid notes, Epsom salts, light acidity, very nice. In mouth, a nice tart mix of ground cherry, light lactic notes, light horseblanket, very nice and complex. Bottle at Festibiere de Gatineau 2023.

Bottle from Craft Beer Cellar. Hazy to cloudy golden color, big fluffy white head with good retention. Aroma has that typical De Ranke yeast plus some sweaty animals watching from a safe distance. Taste is funky dusty lemony barnyard. Delicious.

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.

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.
