Intro: A 750ml corked and caged bottle, 21-22 cork, bottled in 2022, with a best before year of 2042. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A lightly hazy golden blond colour, with a big two finger white head that had pretty good retention, eventually settled to a thin cap, while leaving some lacing.
Aroma: Elderflower, a touch green, branches, citrus pith, orange zesty, and funky notes.
Taste: Sharp citrus, lemon zest, lime, a touch tart, maybe even soapy, elderflower, green vines, and lightly funky.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate to high carbonation.
Overall: Not getting much lambic, and seems much closer to a Saison. The aroma is pretty good, but taste was a bit lost with the citrus and the soapiness I was getting. Even the elderflower had a better aroma than what I could taste.
