DE CAM - GOOSEBERRY
100% lambiek met kruisbessen, spontane vergisting. De lambiek voor dit bier heeft een jaar gerijpt op eikenhouten vaten.
Maceratie met lokaal geoogste kruisbessen 1000 kg kruisbessen toegevoegd aan 1500 liter lambiek.
Geen kunstmatige suikers toegevoegd, niet gepasteuriseerd, niet gefilterd, geconditioneerd op fles. Bier met smaakevolutie. Niet zoet!

Not too familiar with gooseberry, to be honest, but since this was one of the fruits in de cam speciaal, which to this day is my best fruited De Cam, I really wanted to try this one!
Pours an unclear yellowblonde, slightly orange. No stable head at all. Scent is earthy (slightly) some .. orange peel like zesty fruityness. somehow also reminds me of peach or apricot. Taste is full, very tart and dry, very orange-forward fruityness, I get less (but still some) of that apricot like feel, and a hint of the fruityness. On it's own surely not as much my preference as the speciaal-blend. Its not at all bad though, fruityness is 'ok' for me flavor wise (not the biggest fruit fan in general, so thats not a bad thing for me) . lambic is significantly more acidic than the average, and very dry. Perhaps a touch more smoothness would have made me prefer it more. Medium high carbo, that enhances the dryness. Fruit intensity is right where you'd want it to be.
