Lambic Style - Fruit Regular Out of Production|

Blend of lambics aged on average 16 to 18 months and of Merlot grapes.
Lambic can be rightly considered the missing link between the worlds of wine and beer, and Saint Lamvinus takes this one step further by adding grapes normally intended for wine production.
Intense, fruity beer that lingers on the palate and has a clear connection to its winemaking origins.

Draft pours yellow with thin head that quickly reduces to lace. Dense mouthfeel, slightly tart fruit flavor with dry finish. Excellent!

Dead centre. Amazing as always and an incredible combo with the veal-themed dish. Delicious!
