“Blend of rhubarb with one and two year-old Lambic. Beer with a tangy and fruity taste. A slight astringency accentuates its subtlety and its end note. Long conservation beer, with an evolving taste.”
Glassware: Stemmed tulip.
Appearance: Peachy gold with a healthy cover of dense foam. The head holds together well and decorates the glass as it subsides.
Aroma: Smells magnificent! Full of acetic lemon, stonefruit, white wine barrels, soft spicy notes and yeasty funk. The rhubarb is pretty subtle but still offers a bit of its distinct tart citrus and herbal characters. Also getting a cucumber and or unripened honeydew tone as well. It just keeps on evolving! We could go on for days as there’s a new scent every time we take a whiff.
Flavour: Holy moly it does everything we want it to do…nice gentle sourness upfront rolling in to ripe grapefruit and lemon, straw, white grapes and apple. Hardly any manky funk to it…maybe a hint of yeasty spice and horse blanket but it finishes rather clean and somewhat grassy with a delicate dryness.
Mouthfeel: Light on, spritzy, mineraly. Super refreshing! 5.5% AbV is spot on. Mild-moderate body.
Overall: So it’s said that this beer is the head brewers wife’s favourite beer. Her name is Nathalie and she’s a kindergarten teacher (hence the children’s drawing on the label). We could only imagine being the kid who drew it…what a claim to fame! He’ll be the envy of his mates when they’re all of drinking age! Anywho, that’s a brilliant drop.
