suggests, it imparts a fantastic aroma to the beer, reminiscent of a bouquet of flowers from the Far East. The Lambic harmoniously blends with the fruity and floral notes of the flower.

Bottle. Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is flowery, citric, nice funk. Taste is clean funk, peach, nice fruits and flowers. Sparkly carbonation, super clear mouthfeel, watery to oily. Nice!

The unblended lambic version of sweet osmanthus is, to date, my favorite of the varieties. So expectations are sure set high ! Pours medium colored golden blonde, big white head with average stability (for the style) . Scent is typical OB funk, the osmanthus gives it a herbal undertone. floral, rich and complex. Never too overpowering. Taste is full, sharp acidity, but well complex. There it is again, though - the beautifull, rich floral aroma. Grassy, herbal, ... Quite intense, but never overpowering. Very clearly recognizable though. Finish is a 50/50 between aroma and acidity. Beautifull blend, beautifull in this variety as well. Absolutely love this infusion. Carbonation is quite high, towards the max for me but still acceptable. This one, I hope, will become a standard ?
