The ‘green gooseberry’ one in this series of second generation Tilquin fruit lambics, at Moeder Lambic Fontainas during Tilquin Fruit Extravaganza #2. Some very minute off-white bubbles around the edge but otherwise no head, near-clear warm yellowish ‘old gold’ hue. Aroma of green gooseberries indeed and strongly so (sour and crisp) but also a strong ‘dirtiness’ of rotting hay, chalk, sherry vinegar, grass silage, old moldy wood. Sour onset, acidic, strong sour berry wryness, soft carb; the lambic’s natural sourness is greatly enhanced by sharp, astringent acidity from the fruit itself as well as pronounced tannic wryness from the skins and seeds; notes of moist dust, funky Brett (stale sweat) and grass silage retronasally. ‘Dirty’ (though fortunately less so than the jostaberry version), wry, funky and acidic: too much harshness for me here, the other gooseberry versions (with softer, sweeter, ‘coloured’ fruit) worked a lot better.
