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.

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.

Great age on it. Mellowed out, not super tart, strong ascetic vinegar on the back but quite fragrant

Bottle (2015-2016). Hazy orange-yellow color, white foam. Aroma: sour, wild, barnyard, tobacco, a little plum. Taste: sour, plum, fruit, moderately wild, a little even sweet, unripe cherry plum, not bad.

Whitish pink pour, some white foam there. Nose is a bit funky, light, getting a bit of brett also. Tastes funky, plum seeds and a bit of acidic plum flesh there. Good burnt fruit sour character. Chalky, somewhat tart and for me even a bit too acidic as it is right now. Dry and tart finish.

Murky dark golden body no head. Sour fruity aroma. Chalky tastes of plum, sour, spritzy tastes. Puckering
