Bottle, as Kwee Lambiek Oogst 2022. Same ABV (7%), same description. Color: Hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Quite a lot of rural funk, notes of quince, light tartness. Taste: Smooth mouthfeel, light to moderate tartness, fruity quince notes, lightly overwhelmed by rural / horse stable wild yeast funk. Subtle lime, oak wood, quince peel, tannins. Dry to very dry mouthfeel at the finish. This is my second Boerenerf, after Oude Cider, and I do love the quite strong funky part of their drinks. A real feeling of a 'Boerenerf'... ;)

This is the first lambic from “Het Boerenerf” for me. Quite refreshing aroma of the quince and some unripe pear. Slightly sour and citrus/quince, even some taste of gooseberries, tannine. Dry finish, nice one.. looking forward to the rest..

Another rather unorthodox lambic from this brand new blender in Huizingen, making use of 3 Fonteinen lambic (for which they deliver the grain, as this new blendery is also an - organic - farm): a quince lambic, something which has been very rarely tried before by other producers and never in bottled form. This one makes use of no less than three different quince varieties (as with any cultivated plant species, quince too has several 'cultivars'): the apple-shaped Lescovacka, and the pear-shaped Vranja and Champion. Medium thick, densely moussy to almost creamy, membrane-lacing, egg-white head, slowly breaking here and there in the middle but generally very stable, misty peach blonde robe with almost beige-ish edges. Very expressive, aromatic nose: lots of quince as expected, not so much sweet quince jam but actual green quince, Granny Smith apple, unripe pear, apple peel, even green apple tree leaves, lemon thyme, grass silage, unripe mandarin, gooseberry, old books, wood sorrel, wet wood, haystack, rosehip, apple vinegar and (strong) dry cider, fresh lemon verbena (not just the leaves but the flowers as well), vermouth, old bread crust. Crisp, tart onset, lemony acidity strongly enhanced by the malic acid from the quince, as if biting in a sour crabapple including the wryness of unripe green fruit, but softened by a more peachy accent and a soft bready maltiness underneath; crisp carbonation but on the soft side, nevertheless adding to the refreshing character of the whole. More prominent, sedate lactic acid in the middle, very dry, with that 'green' and spritzy malic acid and lemony edge continuing as well as that wry unripe fruit peel effect; the dryness is further consolidated by woody tannins in the end, but still this juicy, apple-like crispness keeps things lively in that phase too. A deep earthy hop bitterish note reminiscent of dark green tree leaves lurks somewhere in the background at the very end, while this almost perfumey 'rosiness' comes up retronasally, as if quince blossoms were used besides the fruit. A very aromatic lambic, flowery almost, with a strong 'bite' to it as can be expected from any sour containing quince I guess - the fruit as such borders on the inedible when raw, and I assume they were used raw here, resulting in a strong malic acidity as well as tannic fruit peel wryness. One for the seasoned lambic afficionado, but beautifully coloured, original and daring - this Boerenerf thing really got off to a flaming start, I think we will hear a lot more about it in the coming time.
