On tap at 100 pív Nice lambic, tart, bitter, tea feel, smooth and enjoyable. Very good

Tap at 100 piv. I could not pick the tea myself, but since I know it's there, it is perceived slightly. Works as a very nice complement to the base funky lambic beer. The base is pretty clean, as far as lambics go, touch of acetic and loads of barnyard funk. Easy drinking, thin, moderate carbonation. Very tasty, refreshing, very good.

Another experiment with flavoured lambic by Oud Beersel, this time with sencha, a type of Japanese green tea (not to be confused with matcha, which is also a Japanese green tea but produced differently). At Billie’s Craft Beer Fest. Very thin and open, off-white ring on a hazy warm peach blonde beer. Aroma of wet hay, lemon rind, sherry vinegar, green tea indeed adding unexpected impressions of fennel seed and raw cucumber. Crisp, sour onset, lemony but in a refreshing way, strong unripe stonefruit astringency even, soft carb, dry body, very tart and a bit sherryish in flavour, until a herbal quality shows up and adds a ‘deep green’ tinge to the finish, with a kind of ‘botanical’ effect making this one quite distinct, but also very interesting. Nice one, this one should make it into a bottled blend somehow – this is, certainly to a lambicophile’s palate, surely more accessible than the smoked tea versions they created last year…
