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.

Yesterday. Very nice! Solid plum presence and bright tasty acidity. Easy-drinking goodness!

37,5cl bottle, 3 years old. Cloudy orange/purple color, with almost no head. Aroma of farmyard, leather, typical gueze I would say. Taste is sharp, lemony, leather. Almost no fruit notes, 3 years are already too many for it. But it's still a nice gueuze, refreshing.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Vintage bottle - probably 6-7 years old. Pours a clear orange with only a slight brim of a white head. Complex sweet'n'tart aroma, noble rot and subtle Brett. Thin almost watery body with hardly any carbonaton, super dry, Brett and Acetobacter, tart bt not extremely so. Complex and very enjoyable - also after all these years. 250221

Bottle. A- Plums, tart, bright. A- Orange color, cloudy liquid, no head. T- Tart, sweetarts, oak. P- Light body, average texture, flat carbonation, balanced finish. O- Very refreshing and tasty. A little funk and fairly tart. At 5 years old this was pretty good stuff. Would like more carbonation, and more plum but still nothing to bemoan.

Bottle. Nice reddish orange color. The quetsches are not super strong but give a nice extra kick to the lambic. Over medium sour. I think this is as good as it gets for this beer, beter than aged bottles I tried before.
