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 from Appellation Wines. Appearance - murky orange. White head. Nose - tart, funk and wood up front, rather than any plum. Some stewed fruit is detectable in the background. Taste -some sweet plum this time, but cleansed off the palate completely with tart acidity. Palate - tart and very sour with some fruit sweetness in the middle section mainly. Medium bodied. Overall - genuine Lambic face implosion!
