Tap at 73 Enid Street. A hazed deep orange coloured pour with a fine white cap. Aroma is nice. Musty funk, vinous fruit, gooseberry, farmyard funk, pineapple. Flavour is composed of salty tart lemon, gooseberry, acidic, farmyard funk, bile, prickly,. Palate is tart and prickly, moderate carbonation. Pithy, little harsh. Lovely funk.

On tap at Meddlesome Moth, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out moderate funk and some light gooseberries. Flavour is tart, with low-level funk, plenty of tart berries. And gentle acidity. Not as good as the associated bottled version, but it’s pretty great regardless. Good funk and fruit character, but has more acidity and tartness than I’d want.

(On tap @ Griendel, Quebec City, Sep 29/22) Pours hazy dull pale orange with a tiny head. Aroma of floral red apples, pale forest berries, minty leafy herbal quality, moderate lactic tartness, old wood. Flavour is tangy red berries, soft aceticacid , crushed flowers, soft woodiness, a little tannin, drying lactic aftertaste. Light bodied and softly carbonated. One of the more complex, tart and lambic-forward variants in this series, I enjoyed it more than I expected to based on the bottled versions.

(Keg at Pikkulintu Ruttopuisto, 20220621) The beer poured amber and hazy. Its head was small and white. Aroma had sourness, spiciness, berries and tartness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were tartness, sourness, berries, spiciness, wood and bitterness. Aftertaste had tartness, berries, wood and bitterness. A tasty and complex tart brew with bit weird berry notes.

One of the different gooseberry lambics by Tilquin so far, this one with a red variety of the fruit (gooseberries can indeed be white / green, yellow or red / purple when ripe depending on the cultivar). No head at all, deep cognac-tinged orangey peach robe. Aroma of indeed ripe gooseberries but in a tart rather than sweet way (no gooseberry pie here, alas), lime juice, pumpkin seeds, grass silage, unripe rhubarb, bell pepper purée. Puckering sour onset, very lemony, flat in carbonation; dry, sour berry flavour throughout, fleshy and rich but acidic and astringent as well, with an unexpected, purple tomato- or bell pepper purée-like umami aspect to it. Ends dry and a bit funky-hayish, herbal and astringent, with a bitterish tannic effect likely from the seeds of the fruit. Complex, rich and bone dry; I was expecting a bit more fructose softness to be honest, but then gooseberries are tart by nature so I guess this lambic does convey them rather well. Interesting one.
