Tap at FFB20, lingonberry version. Pours rosé colour with white head. Nose is low funk, barnyard and big fruits: berries, grapes, a touch of apples. Taste is something else... mindblowing fruit character, an amazing, sour and tart mix of strawberries, grapes and apples, with just the right proportion of funk and a malty touch. Long sour and fruity finish, light body, lively carbonation. Amazing.

On tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, pours cloudy orange with a medium white head. Aroma reveals intense barnyard funk, with leather, light acidity, and some grape skins. Flavour is very much the same, with intense barnyard funk, grape skins, leather, and horse blanket. Mega-horse blankety funk on the finish. Phenomenal lambic.

The seabuckthorn version in this series of new Tilquin fruit lambics, intended (I assume) as try-outs to see which ones would be best suited to turn into an addition to the bottled assortment. Snow white, mousy, lacing, thin and open but long-lasting head, cloudy yellow-straw golden blonde robe. Aroma of dried berries more than crisp fresh berries, green tree leaves, grass silage, old lemon rind, dust. Sour, dry onset, flat in carb, some light fruit fleshiness but hardly any sweetness – and none expected either, since seabuckthorn berries are sour in taste; they add a sharp, drying, long-stretching astringency to the whole, with puckering sourness combined with wry berry skin tannins. Green tree leaf and other herbal or plant-like aspects adorn the bone dry finish. Demanding in its astringency, which I was more or less expecting based on the fruit used here (though Cantillon’s ‘Tyrnilambic’ with the same fruit manages to remain a little bit softer and more easily drinkable), but complex and nicely herbal, I think a very interesting blended and bottled lambic can be made out of this.

07-12-19 // 125ml from tap shared with at Moeder Lambic Fontainas at the Tilquin Fruit Extravaganza Event #2. Hazy yellow. Not really a nose. Dry herbal funky. The sea buckthorn is subtle in intensity. Soft mouthfeel.

Draft @ BxlBeerFest 2019. Couleur dorée, col fin blanc. Arôme marqué de funk - lambic avec de fines effluves boisées, fines effluves de baies d'où se dégage un bouquet marquée par une acidité masquée légèrement par la base des lambics. Palais est léger avec une bonne marque de funk/fine acidité, retrouve le combo classique des assemblages de fruits - lambic bien en avant. Petite note de baie finement acidulée avec une astringence assez marquée par rapport aux autres versions fruitées de la série du festival. Argousier est assez discret - tout en sachant pouvoir le reconnaitre sans le savoir.
