The Quetsche Tilquin à l’ancienne is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the fermentation of destoned fresh purple plums (Quetsche véritable d’Alsace, close to the Damson) in a blend of 1 and 2 years old lambics for a period of 4 months. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it is re-fermented in the bottle for a minimum period of 3 months. The lambics used were fermented and matured in our own oak barrels at the blendery. They are made from worts brewed by Boon, Lindemans, Girardin and Cantillon.
The taste is slightly tart but also fruity and round which makes this Quetsche à l’ancienne may be more accessible for non-experts or less sophisticated palates. It also has a slight dryness from the skin of the plums. The nose perceives a plum brandy perfume.

375ml bottle from the 2013 batch. Pours a fairly hazy grapefruit color with a thin ring of white head. Nose has some funk, medicine cabinet, very pithy, grapefruit peel, rotten apples, stewed greens, some wildflower. Flavor is tart, pithy, grapefruit, a hint of prune, grassy, lightly medicinal. Tart finish.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, brettanomyces, and fruits. The flavor is acidic with notes of brettanomyces, malt, vinegar, and straw, leading to a tart fnish.
