Description
Hanssens Artisanaal is the oldest independent geuze blender in the whole world. At Hanssens, no beer is actually brewed! Instead, they pursue a profession that was very important in the history of lambic style beers, they are solely blenders of beer.

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.

Аромат неплохой, но сразу ощущаются некие подозрительно для ламбика нотки лимона или чего то очень кислого, есть конечно ферма и очень пресная солома, еще немного как будто пшеницы. Цвет бледно желтый, пенка средняя. Вкус с сильным душком от хлева, но не скажу что это плохо. Ощущаются ягоды, немного пшеницы а также цитрусов. При глотке цитрусовая составляющая только усиливается. Карбонизация очень мощная конечно. Есть много травянистых ноток в конце, плюс сухость присутствует. Но все равно нету идеального баланса, плюс мне показалось есть некая странная горечь, возможно это проявление цитрусов , но все равно мне эта нотка не зашла.

Аромат очень кислый, прямо термоядерные ягоды, почти нету сена или хлева с спонтаными дрожжами. В основе конечно малина, немного смородины и клубники с яжевикой. Цвет малины, полу мутный, пены почти нету. Вкус кислый, даже очень. Как будто лимонная кислота переходит в ягодную. Много малины и намек на цитурсы как будто, схоже с юзу немного. Послевкусие долгое, кислое, ягодное, но не очень сбалансированное. В целом можно выпить и получить удовольствие, но не лучший это точно.

KAVO NOEVO, meaning aged in the refurbished caveau's @ Hanssens, and meant to going back to much earlier times in their history Small, dense white head over hazy ochre-golden beer, quite lively carbonated. Very nice, inviting nose, spring leaves, horseblanket, putteke, sulphur, fines herbes. Citrus, lactic acid, lemony. All the classic boxes ticked, but especially mellow, mild. Wheat obvious. Somehow chewy. Very good carbonation, hardly any acidburn. Yes. Sidi & John are renewing, and as this proves, on the right track! Love this one.

Bottle. Color: Slightly hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Mix of funk, wood and fruity unripe grape. Taste: Moderate to over moderate tartness, fruity unripe grape, citrus, hints of lime. Subtle rural funk. Notes of oak wood. Medium body, below average carbonation. Better (less tartness) than Hanssens I've had before. Still not much complexity. Ok overall.

Bottla at M-Cafe, Leuven: Pale amber coloured brew with an good tart taste with some fruitiness, drybitter indeed and not so sour due the blending i think.
