RATINGS: 1100 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.95/5 EST. CALORIES: 210 ABV: 7%
COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Blend of 1-2-3 year old lambic from various producers. Typically: 50% 1-year old lambic, 30% 2-year old lambic, and 20% 3-year old lambic. ABV varies (has been 6.4% for example). Draft version is separate entry since it is totally different blend: it contains Meerts (low ABV lambic), 1 and 2 year old lambics (no 3 year old lambic). 2019-2020 description for example: "The Gueuze Tilquin à l’ancienne (7.0% alc / vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the blending of 1, 2 and 3 years old lambics. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it is re-fermented in the bottle for a minimum period of 6 months. The lambics used were fermented and matured in our own oak barrels at the blendery. They are made from worts brewed by Boon, Lindemans, Girardin and Cantillon. The taste is tart and dry but has a certain roundness that makes this Gueuze à l’ancienne particularly accessible for non-experts. It will also delight fans of the genre for its sweet complexity. It also has a slight dry bitterness because of the youth of the oak barrels used, as they still release some tannins. It has a fresh lemony nose."

UPDATED: NOV 20, 2021 Pours a ruddy amber from a bottle. Big brett aroma, funky and tart lemon juice. Similar flavor. Very good beer.
4.1
UPDATED: AUG 29, 2021 corked bottle. Pours a dark yellow color with a small white head that soon recedes to a ring around the glass and a fine film on the top. The aroma is a bit perfumy with some lavender, lemons, roses, brett and thyme. The taste is complex with sour citrus, herbs, oakiness and touch of garbage pail. The palate is full and viscous. Finishes long with lingering sour oak. Overall--Decent
4.6
UPDATED: AUG 9, 2021 Komplex arom av citrus, brettanomyces med hö och akvarellfärg, lite gummi. Men balanserat och snällt, kommer fram mer när den värms upp. En frisk lagom syrlig smak med en vinägerton och tydlig bitterhet. Rund och fyllig och med torr avslutning

UPDATED: JUL 6, 2021 Funky fruit aroma in a crystal golden amber pour. Spectacularly complex and subtle sour flavour profile that epitomises the style. Thankful to be able to enjoy in the antipodes (especially in these Chinese Flu times).

3.7
UPDATED: FEB 27, 2021 12.7 oz corked bottle. Pours a pretty honey color with a dense white head which dissipates. Big sour lambic smells of vinegar and yeast. Nice toothy sour apple and wine vinegar flavors with a hint of barnyard and a wonderful tangy finish. Good gueuze.
4.3
UPDATED: FEB 15, 2021 Znakomite, złożone, intensywne, wyjatkowe piwo. Bardzo charakterystyczne, dzikie nuty w aromacie, dużo też owocowych nut, kwaskowych. Bardzo rześkie ale jednak przede wszystkim 'dzikie'. Bardzo ładna, jasno pomarańczowa barwa i niewielka piana oraz lacing. W smaku bardzo rześkie, mocno dzikie i też mocno owocowe, gładkie, dość pełne, bardzo żywe. Na początku dzikie nuty i dużo kwaskowych owoców, finisz mocno wytrawny, nieco winny, cytrusowy. Bardzo długo zostaje na podniebieniu. Bardzo intensywne i interesujące piwo.
