As a lambic/gueuze-style beer, this bottle offers a distinctly Belgian combination of fermentation complexity, acidity and dryness. It is best approached more like a speciality table beer than a mainstream lager, especially with cheese, cured meats or food that benefits from a refreshing acidic lift.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Complex fermentation aromas with citrus, orchard fruit, earthy notes and a lightly funky character.
Palate: Dry and lively, with bright acidity, restrained malt and layered fermentation character.
Finish: Long, tart and dry, with citrus, mineral and gently earthy notes lingering.
Brouwerij Notes –
A very enjoyable bottle: aromatic and well put together, showing more depth than a straightforward lager-style beer. I would serve it in the correct Belgian glass and give it a few minutes to open up.
Tasting Notes –
A strong example of the style: distinctly Belgian in character, with a good balance of malt, yeast and gentle bitterness. I prefer the brewery’s paler beers, although this is still an interesting bottle. One for a proper glass rather than drinking straight from the bottle.
Brasserie Notes –
A strong example of the style: distinctly Belgian in character, with a good balance of malt, yeast and gentle bitterness. It has enough individuality to make it worth seeking out again. The finish becomes more interesting as the beer warms slightly.
Serving Notes –
In the glass, this feels distinctly Belgian in character, with a good balance of malt, yeast and gentle bitterness. It is better cool than ice-cold, especially if you want the aroma to come through.
Abbey Ale Notes –
A solid introduction to the brewery, with enough personality to stand out in a mixed case. The balance is the key point here; nothing feels too forced. This would work particularly well with cheese, charcuterie or a substantial main course.
