Leave a comment

Brewery: Brussels Beer Project
Country: Belgium
ABV: 6.5%
Style: Lambic – non-Lambic Blends
Other Notes: Delta IPA + 1 year-old lambic

Brewer Description: (from bottle) The first Delta IPA brewed at Port Sud joins lambic from Dansaert in an atypical blend. The young & fresh IPA meets the wise & vivacious lambic to bridge the best of both breweries. 60% Delta IPA from Port Sud with 40% lambic matured together for 4 weeks at Dansaert. Dry-hopped with Citra, Cascade & Mosaic before packaging. Drink fresh or let ageing do it’s magic!

Intro: A 750ml corked and caged bottle, bottled in March 2022, with a best before date of March 2027. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A hazy golden orange colour with a one finger white head, that had good retention and left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Juicy funk, yellow stone fruit, green apple, lemon, damp rotting wood, musty, sweat, funk.
Taste: Lightly sour, and a touch bitter. Unripe yellow stone fruit, green apple, lemon juice, with light notes of wood, funk, and musty sweat.
Mouthfeel: Crisp, light to medium bodied, with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Enjoyable and very easy drinking. Aside from the bitterness, and maybe a touch of fruit, given the age, the IPA side of things has faded with the lambic taking over. No right or wrong with drinking fresh or ageing, but the change is certainly interesting.

Brewery: Brussels Beer Project

Other Notes: Grappa-foeder aged lambic

Brewer Description: (from bottle) Our grappa foeder originally comes from a century-old distillery in Percoto, Italy and has been assembled by hand at Dansaert to give it a 2nd life. Grappa aging brings new layers to the blend: warmth, fruity notes & an extra spark of spirit. Lambic blend brewed in early 2020 & fermented in Côte Du Rhone & Bordeaux barrels for 14 months. The blend was then aged for 6 more months in our Grappa foeder.
