Blend of lambics aged on average 16 to 18 months and of Merlot grapes.
Lambic can be rightly considered the missing link between the worlds of wine and beer, and Saint Lamvinus takes this one step further by adding grapes normally intended for wine production.
Intense, fruity beer that lingers on the palate and has a clear connection to its winemaking origins.

Pours dark red, some lacings. Nose has tartness, red wine complexity and lots of sour berries, red currants maybe. Taste is also definitely sour but balanced with oak, pure fruit and grape flavors. Bitterness there but only just for balance. Dries your mouth with lots of tannins, lingers and leaves you wanting for more.

Bottle. Pours dark cloudy ruby. Aroma is light grapes, funk, cherry. Body is medium, quite sour and pretty tart, but with nice grapes, slightly vineous in good harmony. Palate is dry but fruity. Good!

Flasche (75 cl, abgefüllt 2012). - Trübes Rubinrot. - Krachtrocken und doch rund mit holzig-trockener roter Traube, Anklängen an Himbeere und Bittermandel und gediegener Lambic-Herbe. Sehr trockene aber nicht übertriebene schlank-herbfruchtige Säure. Sehr tiefgründig wie ein guter Rotwein, dabei prickelnd rezent und enorm erfrischend. Kernige aber elegante Tannine. - Weder Bier noch Wein aber auf seine Weise völlig überzeugend.
