Brewer Description: (from bottle) Beginning of autumn 2020, we harvested a few hundred kilos of quinces from a nice mixed orchard deep down the Pajottenland; from the border of Gooik and Pepingen. We macerated these “kweeperen” for a good two months on young lambik from two different barrels and three different brews, of which one third was also grown and harvested in Pajottenland. With a minor addition of lambik for bottle conditioning, the final fruit intensity is 478 grams of quinces per litre of Kweepeer. 100% 3 Fonteinen.

Intro: A 750ml corked and caged bottle, blend°4, season 20/21, bottled on 14th December 2020, bottle number 369/824. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A moderately hazy golden orange colour, with a half finger white head that had pretty good retention, and left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Quince, unripe plum, wood shavings, hay, lemon zest, with light funky and mineral notes.
Taste: Sour, tart, green apple, quince, lemon juice, wood, with a touch of dust and funk.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation.
Overall: I actually tried the regular Kweepeer right before this small batch experimental brew version which was bottled one year earlier. And my preference was the regular Kweepeer, which suggests that after the experiments, they got it right and put out the best version in the end. That’s not to say that this was bad, as it was still good, just not the best version it could be.
