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.

0.75 l bottle from 'Beyond Beer', bottled in April 2024. Hazy, ruby with a medium large, foamy, slowly diminishing, pinkish white head. Sweetish, sourish, rather fruity and slightly funky aroma of elderberry, honeysuckle apparently, blackberry and lemon with a touch of hay and oak. Gently sweet, medium sour, slightly bitter, rather fruity and a bit funky taste of elderberry, honeysuckle, oak, lemon, hibiscus, some leather and blackberry, followed by a medium long, slightly bitter, tart, fairly woody-dry finish. Medium body, gently astringent and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Extremely well-balanced, juicy and refreshing lambic. Perfect summer thirst-quencher, best fruit lambic I've had in a very long time!

Novare Res draught, 6/16/22. Blood red, clear. Small, pink head. Wacky nose with anise, mint, heavy barnyard. Not tons of berry, though some deep blueberry-raspberry compote-like notes. Heavy, even slightly blanding, yeast and/or mineral. Weird continues with green bell pepper and fernet-like spiciness. Light bodied with long mineral and well attenuated berry juice finish. Just a real puzzling one but certainly enjoyable. Light and drinkable, great berry character, low sourness.
