Closer Glimpse is a blend of 19 month and 28 month old spontaneously fermented, Lambic-inspired ale, then bottle conditioned for 9 months. It was brewed using a traditional turbid mash process, aged leaf hops, an extended boil, then naturally cooled and inoculated in our koelschip, and barrel-fermented and aged. No yeast is ever pitched to create these batches, and we bottle condition using only the cultures present in the beer from the koelschip. Closer Glimpse is a step towards our goal of creating a Gueuze-inspired 1, 2, and 3 year blend produced right here in Virginia. Very complex, reminiscent of Lambic, musky fruit, cheesy hops with the perfect acid profile.

(Bottle, a sample, at Pien Shop, 20230309) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had wood, fruitiness, stomach acids and malts. Palate was medium bodied and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, wood, tartness, fruitiness and light bitterness. Aftertaste was woody, tart and mildly bitter. There were some too soft malty (wheat?) notes that hid the tartness too much.

Definitely close to a lambic flavour here. Grapefruit crackers type aroma with tangerine. Clear orange pour. Tangy end. Pretty nice stuff. I'd like to see where this goes if these douchebags can pull off a beer like this. Tap at brewery.
