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 bottle from Sophies Beer Store. Shared with Soph and Paul on Soph's lockdown birthday. Misty gold, good white head that recedes. Brilliant wild floral aroma. Great rounded lambic bursting with a bristling woody complexity, some lemon citrus moments. Great stuff.

Capped 750 from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours lightly translucent dark gold with a transient white head. Smells lactic and a little musty. Med body. Light carbonation. Musty and lactic. Dry as a bone. Not bitter, but the tartness/lactic covers for that. Very tasty. Gueuze it is.

Bottle picked up from Etre Gourmet Webshop, Grez-Doiceau, Belgium and consumed at home, Sunday 19th July 2020 cooking a Tagine and Tuna Fish Samosas, listening to Protomartyr - Ultimate Success Today. Pours gold orange, hazy with hardly any carbonation. Light lemony traits, funky with a little dry edge, however all things considered this is a bit of a disappointment.

2019 bottle. Deep gold with a ring of bubbles around the rim. Aroma of the laundry, oak, old lemons, some toast, autumnal fruit. Very close to flat. Gently sour with old lemons and oak, some quince and pear. Doesn't quite have the depth suggested by the aroma and could use a few more bubbles. But pretty good.

750ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, opalescent, orangey golden colour with a layer of white, macropore bubbles on top. Woody, grassy, minimally vinous fruity aroma, hints of white grapes, unripe berries, a touch of grass and sorrel. Taste is slightly dry, mildly tart, vinous, woody, slightly tangy, minimally grassy, minimally funky, hints of white grapes, green wood, unripe berries. Oily texture, smooth and soft, minimally astringent palate, soft carbonation. Very mild, unagressive, balanced, rather grassy and herbal.

75cl bottle (vintage 2019, EXP 07/03/24) from Rob the Gourmets’ Market in Brussels. F: no real, some bubbles. C: pale gold, light hazy. A: peach, bit mineral, woody touch, citrus. T: medium body, peach, woody, bit funky, mineral, bit gooseberries, almost no carbonation, refreshing and not bad but still I expected bit more here.
