Sam, brouwer van Brouwerij Angerik, maakte eerst een frambozencider. Deze werd op zijn beurt opgewerkt met lokale honing. Deze cider heeft hij 1 jaar laten rijpen op een bordeauxvat.
Nadien werd deze afgemengd met 9 maand oude lambiek, die ze zelf brouwden.
Deze exclusieve limited edition werd gebotteld in 75cl flessen. Afgewerkt met een uniek genummerd etiket & prachtig afgewerkt met rode was. Er zijn slechts 1000 flessen beschikbaar.

The second embodiment of Angerik’s new and so far very limited lambic project, a blend of honey-flavoured fermented raspberry juice and lambic, aged on wine barrels. One of only a thousand bottles made, indeed with hard-to-remove wax and in the same elegant style as the first Kluysbosch. Medium thick, moussy, pinkish-tinged off-white, quite stable head on a hazy ‘brownish’ peach blonde beer with ‘dirty amber’ glow; lots of free-floating yeast and protein, making the whole turn into a murky, muddy brown in the end, and lots of ‘grit’ from the raspberries as well – maybe filtering would have been a good option here, because as the Dutch saying goes, “they eye wants something too”… Rather odd aroma of clear raspberry juice but not so much those typical tomato-like associations normally linked to this fruit apart from some sweet ripe cherry tomato perhaps, wet oak wood, red wine, weird and persistent off-flavours best compared with rotting Camembert or even rancid yoghurt, bread crust, nectarine, hint of wet cardboard. Crisp, tart, juicy onset, indeed obvious raspberry juice with a touch of sour tomato and even an impression of blood orange, fizzy but very fine effervescence, vinous mouthfeel; bread-pulp-ish core soaked in the raspberry ‘cider’ effect with little real acidity as in ‘normal’ framboise, more a very yoghurty lactic tartness, remaining soft and mild. Retronasal aspects of pink grapefruit or blood orange and some woody notes but limited tannins; red wine does pop up in the finish, accentuating the fruitiness of the whole, continuing in parallel with the raspberry juice flavour into a juicy finish. Too bad for all that grit, dirty looks and those ‘spoiled diary’-like off-flavours, which unfortunately remained from the first drop till the last, but certainly an ambitious idea which might well work; the only thing lacking here is a more sleek, controlled and sophisticated execution. Too bad, the obvious technical flaws here were a bit of a letdown after that spectacular first Kluysbosch variant (the whisky-aged lambic).

-1 point for the irritating, pretentious wax covered cork. Shortlived rim over hazy brownish terra cotta beer, not looking very lively. End of bottle solid yeast. Lactic acid, horseblanket, animal fur, and discreet raspberry, chalk. Mild raspberry flavour, bit of sparadrap . Warming up, the raspberry flavours become more intense. Acidthinning, crabonation present if invisible, light acidburn. Pretty good for a start. Looking forward to when they can start blending. Question: why is the brewery (Angerik) nowhere mentioned on the label?

1/V/22 - 75cl bottle @ In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst, BB: 2/III/27, bottle #0633/1000 (2022-472) Thanks to C’kes and crew for sharing the beer!
Pretty cloudy red to red brown beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of raspberry jam, sweet impression, a little woody. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sourish start, raspberry jam, a bit metallic, bitter, earthy. Aftertaste: bitter touch, some raspberries, metallic, woody, a little funky, pretty clean. Not bad.
