Cette série de Meerts Tilquin a été obtenue par la fermentation de fruits ayant déjà été utilisés une fois. Les fruits ont fermenté pour une durée de 4 mois dans un assemblage de 80% de Meerts de 1 an et 20% d’un assemblage de différents lambics de 2 ans. Le Meerts (ou Bière de Mars) est un lambic léger en alcool, qui était à l’origine produit grâce au mout plus faible obtenu lors du rinçage des drèches. Non filtrés et non pasteurisés, ils sont refermentés en bouteille.

8/IV/24 - 37.5cl bottle from the brewery, shared @ Barjac (FR), BB: 9/VI/27, 20-21 version (2024-219) - Tasted side by side with 20-21 version, preferred the 20-21.
Clear light orange to gold blond beer, no head. Aroma: lots of brett up front, wood notes, funky, wild yeasty, slightly dirty touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: good bitterness, very dry, tannins, more bitterness, fruity notes, a bit earthy, good acidity, a bit lemony. Aftertaste: a bit spicy, minerals, a little sweet, herbal, funky, good bitterness, some tannins, more lemony, zesty, dry finish. Not sure if I would be able to guess the grapes if it were a blind tasting.

Bouteille 37.5cl, BB 02/06/2031.
Pâle, col fin blanc-cassé disparaissant vite.
Arôme est sur un effet musc, lambic avec une approche assez funk avec une bonne note de fruits rouges et noirs laissant une fine note aigrelette en rétro-nasal.
Paais est râpeux, fruité sur le raisin / minéral, effet silex, cassis/cerise acidulée style griotte, framboise repris par le funk de l'assemblage de lambic et un effet un peu acide du cépage.

Bottle from the Meerts box, Hopduvel. Hazy orange, thin, white head. Aroma of grape skin, ripe nectarine, rhubarb, gooseberry, wet wood, vinegar, furniture. Taste has sour grape, rhubarb & gooseberry around a funky core of citric, bit lactic acid and sourdough malt. Tart, mouth-puckering finish, lingering grape juice, woody tannins and dry grape seed. Medium body, moussy texture, average carbonation. Refreshingly acidic and sufficiently dry, very good.

Bottle. Quite similar to the one from last year, though this year’s seems to be fuller and sweeter, still mostly funk and light lambic with soft fruit and tannins. Great.

A taster shared with Josh, Matt, Phill, and Ryan during FHF with priceless Rachel's (yup, again!) help in organizing all the mess with glasses. Appearance: hazy golden (surprisingly). Aroma: funky, fruity. Taste: same. Overall: good.

Peach to copper in colour with no head. Starts really tangy and quite acidic. The sweetness of the grape really comes through in the finish. Aftertaste of grape skins, becomes slightly tannic and dry.
