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.
Lambic Notes –
There is a lot to like here: a specialist style with plenty of acidity, funk and mature Belgian character. Well suited to sharing from the larger bottle formats.
Finish Notes –
Bright, tart and layered, with the sort of rustic depth that rewards slow sipping. The balance is the key point here; nothing feels too forced. One for a proper glass rather than drinking straight from the bottle.
Brouwerij Notes –
What stands out here is how crisp and vinous, balancing sharpness with an earthy, cellar-like complexity. It has enough individuality to make it worth seeking out again. I would serve it in the correct Belgian glass and give it a few minutes to open up.
Cellar Notes –
In the glass, this feels crisp and vinous, balancing sharpness with an earthy, cellar-like complexity. This would work particularly well with cheese, charcuterie or a substantial main course.
Abbey Ale Notes –
Refreshingly sour rather than sweet, with a long, structured finish. The balance is the key point here; nothing feels too forced. It is better cool than ice-cold, especially if you want the aroma to come through.
Glassware & Serving Notes –
A very enjoyable bottle: refreshingly sour rather than sweet, with a long, structured finish. It has enough individuality to make it worth seeking out again. A good one to pour slowly and let settle before drinking.
