18/VI/22 - sample @ De La Sambre Saison Festival, BB: n/a (2022-733) Thanks for sharing!

Cloudy blond beige beer, small creamy off-white head, stable, a bit adhesive. Aroma: yoghurt, diacetyl, very buttery, a little fruity, some apricot flavoured yoghurt. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: fruity touch, gentle acidity, yoghurt, a sweet touch, meh. Aftertaste: dry and spicy, buttery, some apricot skin, some tannins, more of that apricot flavoured store bought yoghurt. Not bad, but not convincing either.

Bottle sample @ La Sambre & Friends Saison & Farmhouse Festival 2022.
Dorée, pâle présentant un léger voile, col fin blanc.
Arôme sur un bouquet fruité délicat de l'abricot sans être trop puissant, retrouve un petit côté adouci/cuberdon avec une touche de funk en retrait venant de l'ajout du lambic.
Palais est léger base sèche, rustique - semble être similaire en base à d'autres versions de ce jour - de plus avec le lambic ajouté. Abricot confère un beau fruité, frais, finement fleuri rappelant l'arbre fruité en fleur, fini léger sur les grains.
In fine, correcte, l'abricot n'est pas aussi puissant que ce qui se retrouve dans d'autres bières du style ou usant de lambic, ce qui est un peu pénalisant - ici, à voir l'age de la bouteille par rapport à une version fraîche.

Tap. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is full on apricot jam, very intense, some fresh yeast. Taste is sweet apricot jam, luscious, then some barrel funk and a dry-ish finish, but it's sweet and jammy up front. High carbonation.
