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.

(Draft at Akkurat, Stockholm, 13 Sep 2025) Golden colour with brief head. Fruity nose with funky yeast, oak wood, apples, citrus and sweaty socks. Fruity, tart taste with notes of oak wood, citrus, rhubarb, elderflower, funky yeast and barnyard. No bitterness. Medium body, dry. Complex and quite funky, with a generous woody acidity. Very nice.

Very good, just off-white head, stable, over veiled orange-golden beer. Leather polish, horseblanket, Bretts, farmyard, green apples, seafruit, acids. Mineral-dry, farmyard. Ultra-special, mineral-hardboard, faintly hard pears (rather than the apples from the nose); leather, sawdust. Light to medium bodied, with some acidthinning; very well-carbonated, slick. Mind-blowing original flavour (this dry, crisp minerality), never before in a gueuze. I'm flabbergasted. And delighted.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Almost clear dark golden with fluffy white head. Yoghurt, oak, peach, dusty basement, oak leaves, soy milk, soft vinegar, canned tangerines, light caramel. Over medium sour, medium sweet. Full bodied. Quite weird, typical Herberg leaves and yoghurt. Not bad but not my favorite.

375ml bottle picked up in Brussels. It pours clear rich gold with a thick, fluffy and sturdy head. The aroma is fresh, spritzy, zingy, lemon - lime, gooseberry fool, crunchy white grape, kiwi fruit, some custard, light vanilla and creme brulé. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, minerality, puckering, zingy, slightly lactic, touch of acidity, sherbet, gooseberry, white grape, granny smith apple, bright, musty, white wine, mellow funk, damp hay and oak with a bone dry finish. Medium body and moderate, effervescent carbonation. A lovely gueuze. Lovely, bright and balanced, with a good depth of flavour. What's not to like?

750ml bottle pours light haze over a ring of white head.  Funk, armpit, light candy, medicine cabinet.  Flavors same.  Bright.  Lemony too.  Tight, just off dry.  Felt a pinch back sweetened or maybe just the jung lambic showing. 8 9 9 8 9
