Description
The former name was brewery De Brouwketel, which was in operation at the current location at least from 1706 onwards. In 1884 the brewery became the property of the Duysters family. In 1968 the company was transformed into Duysters NV (limited liability company) which was active as a brewery until 1973.

The Loterbol brewpub started in 1995 in a renovated part of the brewery from the 18th century. in 2002 brewing started in the old brewery building of 1908. Both locations are still used for brewing.

Botted 377ml. -Courtesy of Marko (thanks!), shared with heavy and him. Vintage 2007.
Hazy yellow/orange coloured, small (almost no) head, very sour nose. Sweet and sour fruity with notes of tangerine. Sweetish sour finish. To be honest I’ve expected much sour beer.

Tuverbol 2007 from Abbaye des Saveurs in Lille. Poured a misty peachy body with a very small white head. Sweet & sour corky aroma, funky and nice. Sweetish, somewhat sourish taste of tangerines, with only light funk. Highly drinkable, especially for the alcohol percentage!

750ml Bottle thanks to ditmier and JohnGalt1. Pours out cloudy golden topped with a small head. Aroma was Brett, brown sugar, fruit, and some light funk. Taste is much as the aroma but with a little oak, and hop notes.

2007 bottle with a 3 Fonteinen cork thanks to bu11zeye (best before date with my broken translation is 2012). Pours with a murky golden body and a small white head. Aromas of sour lemon and marvelous funk that you get from a 3F lambic! Lemon, meringue, saw dust, funk, cork, barnyard, cider, wood, vinous white wine qualities. Flavors are much smoother than the funk and sour onslaught of a nose would suggest. There are lots of sweet and bready, nearly pie crust flavors that are backed with an amazing sour and funk note. Key lime or a sugarless lemon meringue pie are not a reach. Kind of caramelized vinous notes. Really complex mesh of a lambic and a tripel. Lively bubbles and somewhat dry. You can taste the big, rich parts of the tripel, but not the alcohol that this lends to the beer. Its a pretty fantastic marriage in my opinion!

Bottled 375ml (Tuulensuu)
Clear orange color, no head. Fruity, tart nose (cork, apricot). Medium-bodied. Fruity, wild yeast funkyness, apricot, peach, but same time not so tart than lambics. A bit acidic finish. Well, maybe this is lambic for beginners with no saccarine added?! Quite good.

Bottle: Poured a murky light beige color ale with almost no head with no retention or lacing. Aroma of dirty barnyard is more or less pleasant. Taste is also not that pleasant with a weird funky notes of dirty barnyard with notes of funky yeast. Body is full with almost no carbonation. This is like taking the worst from the 3F and mixing it with a bland Belgian ale.
