Description
Op 1 februari 2007 openden Bart Devillé en Ann Heremans café ‘Den Herberg’. Aanvankelijk was het echter niet de bedoeling een café uit te baten. Dit idee is langzaamaan ontstaan. We kochten het gebouw in 2000 aan om er een brouwerij in op te starten. Stilaan groeide het idee om er onze ambachtelijk gebrouwen bieren ook zelf te verkopen. Ruimte was er voldoende en mits enige grondige aanpassingswerken was het café nog voor de brouwerij af. Één jaar na de opening van het café was ook de brouwerij klaar voor productie.

0.375 l bottle from 'Etre Gourmet', best before January 2042, so apparently bottled in January 2022, almost two years old. Hazy, orangeish amber with a medium large, fluffy, quickly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, sourish, quite funky, rather fruity aroma of lemon, gooseberry, some vinegar, oak and some horse blanket. Minimally sweet, quite sour, rather fruity, gently funky taste of lemon, gooseberry, oak, some horse blanket and light vinegar, followed by a long, fairly tart, rather woody-dry finish. Medium body, quite astringent and fairly effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Refreshing Geuze, quite clean, not too acidic yet, relatively complex.

--Keg at Akkurat, Stockholm. -- Hazy paleish amber, minimal head. Barnyardy funky nose with some lemon. Tart with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Intense funky barnyard, quite mild citric acidity. Mid bitter finish. Complex, pleasant and delicious.

Draft @ XIV Fira de la cervesa artesana, Jafre. Sympa de trouver cela à la pompe en Catalogne.
Première vue est sur la pâle assez trouble avec un voile qui se dissipe après qcq minutes, le col est blanc léger soyeux.
Arôme sur un bouquet lambic marqué, léger boisé, fruité, citronné avec des notes de boisés et un léger résiduel doux.
Palais est de prime abord sur le fruité avec un côté boisé rappelant un Cognac et Rhum, léger fruité en retrait, funk, touche douce rappelant la vanille, l'effet 'wow' du début s'estompe un peu par après. Effervescence faiblarde sur la fin, le tout reste très solide.

Corked and caged 375ml bottle courtesy of beastiefan2k. The pour is a clear golden copper with a one inch white head that fizzles down pretty quickly. The nose is soft, an engaging lemon citrus, hay, funk, and mild tart sour. Really integrated and inviting. The taste is just classic Geuze, beautiful natural tart sour and funk, with the lemon citrus, and closing crisp and clean with additional tartness. The palate is light to medium bodied, fine active carbonation, beautiful mouth feel, just entirely crisp and clean. Woah, fantastic, delicate Geuze. Thank you for this one, Eugene.

6 years old @ Paddenbroek, Gooik. Hazy, very dark for a lambic, almost chestnut brown murky colour, no foam. Complex nose, vinous, woody, dry, sweet caramel, a bit bready. Very interesting.
