Bofkont Lazy Red Amber

Brewery: Bofkont
Country: Belgium
ABV: 6%
Style: Lambic – Fruit
Other Notes: 2023 vintage

Brewer Description: (from bottle) 1, 2 and 3 years old lambic with a small variety of Spanish plums. In 2022 we tasted a small beautiful plum from Spain, the parfume and taste was heaven on earth. Unfortunately the season had just ended, so we had to wait for the 2023 harvest.

My rating: 5
My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.56

Intro: A 750ml corked and capped bottle, 2023 vintage, bottled in November 2023. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A hazy grapefruit like dark pinkish orange colour, with a big two finger slightly pinkish head that had great retention, eventually settling to a nice fluffy cap while leaving some nice lacing.
Aroma: Strong stone fruit, lots of plums, plum skin, apricot, spritzy, lemon zest, wood, vanilla, and funk.
Taste: Sour, tart, plum, plum skin, with light woody and funky notes.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with good balanced acidity and spritzy moderate carbonation.
Overall: Very enjoyable and easy drinking with an amazing aroma and great flavours. The acidity is there but it was still balanced, and each sip just left me wanting the next one.
