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.

7/10/2023. Bottle shared at Ulfborg. Pours clear dark red with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of wild berries, blueberry, yeast, raspberry, woody and herbal edge. Light to moderate sweetness, medium to heavy tartness, touch salty. Moderate body, gently fizzy. Jammy and very dry and tart to finish. Very nice.

(Draught at Muted Horn, Berlin, 21 Apr 2023) Dark red colour with frothy, pink head. Fruity, sourish nose with black-currant, red fruit and barnyard. Fruity, tart taste with notes of black-currant, cherries, dark red fruit, barnyard, funky yeast and a tart and dry finish with a rich berry character. Medium body, dry. Rich and tasty, with a fresh acidity and a generous fruit character. Great beer!
