Intro: A 750ml bottle, with a best before date of 30th April 2026. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A slightly hazy golden orange colour, with a thin white head that dissipated quickly and left only sparse to no lacing.
Aroma: Grape skin, gooseberry, oak, funk, with a splash of lemon zest.
Taste: Lightly sour, grape skin, gooseberry, watermelon rind, lemon, funk.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with soft to no carbonation.
Overall: I opened the bottle thinking it was a Saison without really reading the label. Obviously not the case, and it was ok, but the lack of carbonation was not really my thing. I was also hoping the Saison would be more prominent, but you don’t really notice it as the Lambic is dominant.
