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.

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.

opalescent golden to orange colour, minimal off-white head (rather lacing than a real head); aroma of lemon juice/citric acid, some acetone, barnyard and unripe fruity notes; taste of lemony, as well as acetic acidy and unripe fruity sourness, some acetone, yeasty, peppery and bittery notes; tart aftertaste; really good lambic

--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!

Bottle, enormous thanks Nino and Casey for sharing! Hazy golden body, white head. Clean (style-wise), juicy even, funky, peppery, spicy aroma, quite pleasant. Smooth funky taste, light tartness, phenolic touches, vague hint of glue, but also flowery and slightly juicy in a way, lightly sweetish. A bit on the young side, I *think* this was a 2021, but already a very tasty lambic in my opinion!

75 cl bottle @ Nurmo. Bottled 04/2020, BBE 25.04.2024 Aroma has grapefruit and earthy tones - feels like gueuze. Flavour has grapefruit, earthy notes, some sour cream and green apples. Flat palate, low on CO2. Lingering milky sourness. Acidic and good.

Bottle shared @Luppolo Station (Rome). Dorata, un filo velata, schiuma leggera. Naso vinoso, con sentori di frutta bianca, mela annurca, leggero citrico, terroso. In bocca non è molto complessa, ma ha un bilanciamento tra acido e una leggera dolcezza magistrale e si beve che è una bellezza. Corpo medio-leggero, carbonazione media. Splendida.
