Intro: A 750ml corked and caged bottle, with a neck label of 2021-2022, and a best before date of 23rd June 2032. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen gueuze glass.
Appearance: A mostly clear golden orange colour, with an almost two finger white head that had good retention, and left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Plums, fresh cut green apple, wood, funk, hay, with light notes of lime juice.
Taste: Green apple, unripe stonefruit, gooseberry, lemon, lime zest, oak, damp wood, funk.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Great aroma and flavours, and it just drinks so easily. The fourth from the Tilquin Family Tree Project and my favourite so far (granted that Cuvée Arthur has already been released, but I haven’t had the opportunity to try it yet).
