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.

Bottle. Pours rusty brown with a small airy head. Aroma is sour with balsamic vinegar, oak, plums and lots of fruits, as well as funky horse blanket. Full body with average carbonation. Flavour is sour with balsamic vinegar, oak, fruits and berries, with a balanced tart finish of grapey fruitiness. Very drinkable.

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy pinkish dark amber with moderate foamy white head. Aromas of wet wood, glue, brett, and old fruit. Flavors of tart red berries, plum skins, citrus, and oak. Quite sour and carbonated. Wonderful.
