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.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up online. Pours clear reddish purple with a bubbly, short-lived white head. Intense, aggressive, has some nice tart berry character, a little drying wood, but overbearing acidity. Light to medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Sharp finish, lots of acidic bite, some throat burn. Kind of immediately gets your stomach grumbling when it gets down there. Hard to drink much of this beer.
too much acid, it would be an excellent beer with less acid
