About
19th century land-use plan of the area mentions a brewery owned by a certain Petronnella De Troch.
Even older records indicate that her father, Pieter De Troch, was running a brewery on the same site in the late 18th century. Petronnella married Egidius De Troch and in 1898 their son Louis took the family business over. Louis Married J. De Neve, and their son, also Louis, inherited the brewery and farm in 1936. The same Louis married M.L. Van den Moortel.
Their nephew Jos Raes and his wife M. Vanderhasselt took on the family tradition in 1974 and have been running this rare craft brewery ever since. In 2002, their son Pauwel Raes joined his parents into the family business.
In July 2012 Pauwel & his wife Kristel Schelfthout took over the brewery to continue the brewery tradition !

375 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a thin off white head with solid retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy peaches, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, pear, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, grass, honey, candi sugar, wheat, and white bread; with lighter notes of leathery/musty/lacto funk, peppercorn, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of peaches, fruity/fairly acidic/spicy yeast, oak barrels, sugars, and pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy peaches, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, pear, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, grass, honey, candi sugar, wheat, and white bread; with lighter notes of leathery/musty/lacto funk, peppercorn, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and light yeast/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy peaches, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, pear, apricot, red/green apple, white grape/wine, oak, hay, straw, grass, honey, candi sugar, wheat, white bread, light leathery/musty/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of peaches, fruity/fairly acidic/spicy yeast, oak barrels, sugars, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/sugar/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with no cloying/puckering flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tartness and tangy fruit. Light-medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/grainy, fairly acidic/tangy, and lightly tannic mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.5%. Overall this is a delicious sweetened fruit lambic. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of peaches, fruity/fairly acidic/spicy yeast, oak barrels, sugars, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/drying finish. Very flavorful for the ABV. Nicely juicy/jammy fruits with solid Brett/Bacteria presence; balanced sugars, and pale/wheat malts against acidity. Not overly sweet with lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Not quite as sweet as most others I've had in this style of lambic, with solid acidity/tangy fruit presence; and more barnyard character than usual.
