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 2014/2015 vintage shared today. Nose is fruity and light funk. Tastes of plums, barnyard, peppery, hint of grapefruit. Some tartness and puckering still. Knocking off some needed lambic ticks today

Hazy, dark orange colored, small off white head, mostly ring. Aroma is fruity, plum, overripe fruit, some wood, barnyard and some funk, sour. Taste is medium- sweet, moderate-strong sourness but rather lasting, overripe fruit, plum, funk and barnyard, bit grass, dry finish. Medium bodied, average carbonation, oily.

Bottle at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Hazy red orange colour, big white creamy bubbly head. Aroma is sourness, plum in the back, grapefruit and lemon too, bit like love hearts sweets, bit of funkiness. Taste is more plummy, bit of sherbert, big sour kick at start, fruitiness increases further down. Very nice. Spritzy texture. Nice dry finish. Lovely.

Sweeter and tarter than the blackberry one. Colon cleansing plums I hope. €11 banger again.

2012 bottle. Plum, lemon and oak in the aroma. Amber color. Lemon and oak in the flavor. Hint of honey. Only traces of plums. The lambics dominate. Sour, but the sourness is well integrated. Complex and delicious beer.
