In the summer of 2009, the brewery 3 Fonteinen from Beersel needed to sell its Lambic. Giovanni Campari, founder and brewmaster of our brewery, had the idea to use that Lambic for making a blend with our Saison New Morning. He chose three barrels containing 18-month-old Lambic. The result of the blend exceeded our most optimistic expectations. Today the Beersel Morning is produced with Lambic by Gert of Oud Beersel, the most awarded Lambic producer in international competitions.

330ml bottle @ February Beer Tasting, Chez Sophie. Pours misty gold, large white head. Aroma has beautiful fruity saison nuances. Taste presents a fine spritz, lovely delicate fruity saison notes that link effortlessly with the beersel lambic. Great depth of flavours with a soft acidity. Hugely enjoyable.

Bottle: Poured a hazy dirty golden color ale with a small foamy head with limited retention and no lacing. Aroma of sour and vinegary lambic with some funky barnyard notes also perceptible is interesting. Taste is mix of highly funky notes with some barnyard, Brett and leather with some over the top acidic and sour notes with some oak notes also perceptible. Body is full with light carbonation. Enjoyable but too acidic for my taste which ends up limiting the drinkability.

Bottle (2014? - bb 2024.) Gold. A few white bubbles are at the rim. Aroma is floral (although there's no real sign of the camomile in the normal beer) with some honey and oldish lemon notes. 8+ Slightly slippery but pretty light bodied. Carbonation is low. Crackers and some apricots and their stones, old lemons, gentle funk and gentler sourness, the memory of flowers. 8- The lambic has presence in the aroma but doesn't announce itself on the palate (maybe the lambic is too well mannered). Doesn't quite finish dry. Good, but maybe the real blends were the friends we made along the way.

Hazy dark golden, with a thin head that does not last long but still leaves some lacing. Splendid aroma feels at the same time delicate, clean and quite intense. Clean but not aggressive lactic sourness, rustic notes of salami peel and leather, fruit notes (citrus, peach, white grapes) and a slight flowery touch. Taste has a light white bread base, medium to high sweetness, a medium intense lactic sourness that never feels aggressive but "cuts" the sweetness very well. As in the aroma: rustic notes (salami peel most prominent), peach, white grapes, slight citrus, flowers. Only small glitch is that it gets a bit too earthy/muddy in the last sips. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation, with an excellent dry/clean finish (except as mentioned for the last sips). Overall complex and most of all so easily drinkable for a sour beer. Excellent.

Aged blend of a Ducato saison with Drie Fonteinen lambic, from a typical Ducato, olive oil-like 'Italian' 75 cl bottle bought at Dranken De Moor. Irregular and loose, snow white, bubbly head immediately opening in the middle and eventually all but disappearing, over a cloudy orange-tinged peach blonde beer, murky with deposit and eventually - in combination with the eventual absence of a head - looking like a glass of home made pear juice or something alike. Interestingly 'wild' and indeed partially lambic-funky aroma of fermenting apples, overripe gooseberries, raw pineapple flesh, old musty cellars, red wine vinegar, starfruit, green banana, old dry sherry, wet leather, yoghurt, pear juice, kiwi, sourdough. Very estery onset, lots of purple gooseberries, apricot, starfruit and old apples, sour with a sweetish core, softly carbonated. Doughy and soggy bready malt basis, bit soapy wheatiness somewhere, with a lot of these 'fermenting fruit' lambic esters continuing till the end, dried by a lactic, yoghurty sourness. Wry plum peel and stale lemon juice notes in the end, grape peel and grape juice impressions, some vague soaking wet oak wood and - especially towards the end - a dry, powdery yeastiness bringing breadiness; retronasal dry sherry aromas as well. Lovely sour 'versnijbier' indeed, but I wonder if this would have gotten even better with more age - and thus Bretty lambic effects - on it.
