One of the different gooseberry lambics by Tilquin so far, this one with a red variety of the fruit (gooseberries can indeed be white / green, yellow or red / purple when ripe depending on the cultivar). No head at all, deep cognac-tinged orangey peach robe. Aroma of indeed ripe gooseberries but in a tart rather than sweet way (no gooseberry pie here, alas), lime juice, pumpkin seeds, grass silage, unripe rhubarb, bell pepper purée. Puckering sour onset, very lemony, flat in carbonation; dry, sour berry flavour throughout, fleshy and rich but acidic and astringent as well, with an unexpected, purple tomato- or bell pepper purée-like umami aspect to it. Ends dry and a bit funky-hayish, herbal and astringent, with a bitterish tannic effect likely from the seeds of the fruit. Complex, rich and bone dry; I was expecting a bit more fructose softness to be honest, but then gooseberries are tart by nature so I guess this lambic does convey them rather well. Interesting one.

Hazy peachy colour with no head. Aroma and flavour are quite earthy and rounded. Perfumey notes of orange and red winegums.
