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.

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

The third private label lambic by the The Brett House Janssens; immediately following a geuze and kriek produced at Lambiek Fabriek, this Pajottinga geuze comes from another of the newer lambic producers that managed to make a name for themselves, namely Den Herberg. Snow white, tiny-bubbled, stable, slowly opening head on a hazy peach blonde robe with warmer orange glow. Aroma of preserved lemons, pickled apricots, green olives, unripe oranges, Bretty 'horseblanket', wet old wood, gherkin, wood sorrel, redcurrant, dry earth, old leather, damp hay. Tart, estery onset, full-on traditional geuze with all the unripe stonefruit, sour berries and green apples one expects, edged with a lemony streak but altogether quite 'mals', with lively effervescence and vinous mouthfeel. Bread-crusty 'soil' under yoghurty lactic acidity, ongoing sour fruitiness and growing tannic woodiness, further 'complicated' by Brettanomyces funkiness bringing very old Parmigiano, old cracked leather and the classic 'horseblanket' aromas. Long, elegant, complex finish, drying, full-bodied and tying wood, fruitiness, acidity and maltiness together in one bundle of classically styled geuze splendor. Kudos to Den Herberg, this is one mighty fine example of its style, classic as it may be.

375 ml bottle. Pours a bright amber with moderate head of big bubbles. Aromas of jellied fruit, grapes, barnyard, and sharp toasted malts. Flavors follow same with some soft earthiness and leather. Really tasty and more complex than many oude gueuze while still being refreshing. Excellent.

Bottle purchased online, drunk watching the Mule on Foundation after quite some soldering of the M-Plex turret board leads of a Sunday evening. Lightly hazy orange gold, minimal head. Complex sour nose with stone fruit notes. Smooth acidity not overdone, big flavor, dry and very tasty geuze.
