Intro: A 750ml corked and capped bottle, 2021 vintage, with a best before date of 7th December 2026. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A very slightly hazy golden dark orange colour with a slight pinkish tinge, and a one finger white head that had pretty good retention, and left some lacing.
Aroma: Raw beets, vegetal, apple, earthy, soil, with light funky notes.
Taste: Tart, lightly sour, raw beets, vegetal, apple peel, red berries, oak, and funk.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
Overall: Tasty and enjoyable. I’m liking beets as an adjunct for lambic, quite possibly even more than rhubarb.

Intro: A 750ml corked and capped bottle. Bottled in April 2022. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A clear golden orange colour with a one finger white head that had good retention and left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Apple, apple peel, lightly tart, with a touch of funk.
Taste: Lightly tart, apple, apple peel, pear, funky, and a touch sour.
