Op tap bij Borefts '25. Mistig roodoranje kleur, geen kraag. Noten, kersenpit, muf, aards, ook weer flink zuur, ik ben nog geen fan van Sacrilège.

Tap at Borefts. Hazy dull pink. Sour cherries, soft coffee in a nutty way, wheat, vanilla, quite earthy. Medium sour, light sweet. The coffee and cherries work quite well together.

Attempt at lambic (though not explicitly called that way, I assume out of respect for the real thing) by a southern French producer, macerated with cherries and coffee grounds. Pale greyish off-white, loose and open, large-bubbled, dissipating head on a hazy vermillion red robe with brownish-burgundy tinge. Aroma of ripe cherries and lots of them, cherry juice, cherry wine and even cherry jam, redcurrant, unripe plum, red apple peel, raw rhubarb, almond (from the cherry pits I suppose), touch vanilla (but very volatile), the cascara peeping through as a clear coffee-like scent initially but also very volatile and gone after a while, yoghurt, stale lemon juice, sorrel leaves. Crisp, sour onset, lemony with a lot of added cherry acidity but also, hidden within the sourness, a lovely cherry sweetness and fleshiness; ripe Reine Claude plum and Jonagold apple associations add further fruitiness. Softish carb, quite full and rounded body; lovely bready maltiness, bread pulp with almost biscuity core, adds a sweetish 'soil' upon which a lactic, yoghurty tartness and cherry acidity unfold, with an almost cherry crumble-like overall effect, especially when these vanilla bread- and almond-like aspects from the pits set in. Ends quite mellowly sour, a bit vinous (rosé wine), very bready in an almost cookie-like way and utterly fruity - but the cascara adds little more than a supporting aromatic background note, blending with the cherry pits rather than pushing an actual coffee impression through it all. I would not have minded this cascara (in this case the Spanish word for the dried skins of coffee beans, so botanically very different from actual cascara) being more prominent, but then I do realize that cascara has not actually gone through the roasting process like the coffee berries, so its capacity of adding a real coffee flavour must be very limited anyway. Granted, there is something exotically aromatic to this beer which can only be attributed to this cascara element, but why not try to combine sour cherries with actual coffee next time? Who knows, this combination might just work fine... In short: interesting and certainly tasty, the 'lambic' as such clearly lacks the complexity of real Senne Valley lambic, but the combination of flavours works really well here, with a 'warm', accessible and at the same time quite sophisticated fruit sour as a result. Pleasantly surprised.

75cl bottle at Belgian Beergeeks/Brewver summer tasting at Tim's house. Thanks Eugene - BB 01/2027, batch#1.
Dorée rosée, col fin rosé.
Arôme est frais chargé en cerise - ici rien à voir avec les versions de ce jour dégustée avant. Fruité plaisant, frais, vert, avec un léger bouquet fleuri, petite note de funk et aigreur en rétro-nasal.
Palais est finement sour cerise bien balancée avec ce caractère suret de la griotte - résiduel de peau, tannique et léger en bouche.
