For the past two years, we've been making a fruited blend with Camerise in small quantities. Also known as haskap or blue honeysuckle, these berries are slightly sweet with a beautiful acidity.
The beer's color is a deep, deep red. It's powerful and very fruit-forward, but still maintains a nice, mellow balance between acidity and astringency.
We didn't have to look very far for a its new name... a blue fruit that makes a blood-red beer: Sang Bleu. Our friend Ammo has outdone himself once again, creating a superb new label to go with its new name.

Maceration of 2-year old lambic with blue honeysuckle.

Bottle pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a nice dark ruddy red color with a small, wispy slightly pink head. Aroma was big raspberries. "The haskap berries taste like haskap berries." Flavor was refreshing and nice delicious fruit, nice mellow tartness.

Bottle 2025 edition. Almost clear, dep red body under a small pink head. Aroma is acidic raspberries (I don’t know how honeysuckle berries smell like), hint of cherry, lemon and mild funk. Taste has acidic berries like aroma, raspberry, cherry, lemon with mild funk and hint of wood. Nice balance in flavors and body, not very intense in any direction- should not offend anyone. Nice and easy drinkable fruit lambic.

Similar enough to a red wine lambic this one didn’t stand out too much to me

Dieses mit Blaue Heckenkirschen gebraute Lambik kommt mit einer kräftigen roten Farbe daher. Am Gaumen erinnert diese Fruchtnote an eine Waldbeeren Mischung. Die Säure ist deutlich aber sehr gut balanciert. Diese 2025er Version wirkt noch nicht vollausgereift da es noch sehr frisch ist.

Ruby colour, large creamy brownish ecru-ish, pinkish-rose-like head; aroma of sour cherry, citric acidy, rapberry, seabuckthorn, rhubarb, redcurrant, some earthy, and minimal acetic acidy notes; taste is quite the same; good one
