Hanssens takes this a step further, and actually blends batches from different breweries in their area. This used to be a very common practice, but Hanssens is now the oldest remaining blender. They bring to this endeavor a variety of barrels, some up to one hundred years old, and a passion and a love for the tradition of Geuze and Lambics.

Dark yellow/gold, crystal clear (?no yeast). Sour strawberries in the aroma and the flavour. Usual horse-blanketness. No head at all. A nice lambic.

Bottle, pours deep gold with no head. No carbonation, looks like a wine. Very light aroma of hay, earth, and light strawberries. Flavor is tangy sour with only a hint of strawberry in the finish. Not bad, it went well with our salmon.
