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.

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

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.
