750mL bottle at the International Lambic & Kriek festival. Pours murky blonde with a white head. Great apricot on the nose, some rustic yeast notes. Flavour has fairly dry apricot, a bit earthy. Nice.

750mL bottle at International Geuze & Kriek Festival 2025, pours a hazy pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is full of bright apricots, gentle funk, and subtle citrus. Flavour is super fruity, with tons of juicy but dry apricots, and a hint of earthy bugginess. Not funky at all. Good but not particularly complex.

Murky dark yellow colour with no head. Yes, loads of apricot but probably too much. Tangy.

Bottle shared in Brussels. Pours lightly hazed deep gold with a slight, foamy white head. Light-medium sweet flavour with low acidity, jammy apricot, nips of lemon. Light to medium bodied with delicate carbonation. Jammy apricot finish. Not too complex but enjoyable.

21/X/23 - 37.5cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Maria’s paella cookout (home), BB: 25/VIII/42, LOT 20220825 (2023-849)

Cloudy dark orange beer, practically no head, dissipates quickly. Aroma: nice, very fruity, yeasty, some banana, sweet impression, floral touch. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: nice, very fruity, juicy, lots of peach flavoured candy, apricots, nice stuff! Aftertaste: very fruity, lots of apricots, sweet touch, nice acidity, hint of vinegar, super fruity. The best Kestemont for me, I think.

Bouteille 37.5cl de et partagée avec Tderoeck, merci. Lot# 20220825, BB 25/08/2042. De toute évidence, je ne suis pas certain que cette bière se maintienne dans cet état dans 20 ans ...
Couleur sur un orange voilé - clairement l'apport de l'abricot est présent, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme est bien fruité avec un généreux 300g/litre d'abricot - ici, cela ressort très bien tout en gardant un léger retrait de lambic.
Palais est bien fruité avec un abricot très frais qui donne tout de même une certaine épaisseur en bouche, léger fini sur l'acidité qui reste bien maîtrisée.
Série fruité qui est plaisante, manque un peu de finesse dans le rendu 'lambic' mais qui assure avec son caractère fruité. A voir comment cela évoluera dans le temps au niveau du fruit.

No head whatsoever; still, deep golden beer. Second half of bottle solid yeast. Smells a bit as a heap of dusty dried apricots. Faint lactic acid. Slightly vinous. Again 100% dried apricots, lactic acid - but, certainly seen the Zwarte Bes, very demure, almost sweet. In the taste more liqueurish than vinous, but for really liqueur-like, the ABV is too low. Deposit lends some body, slick, pretty oily. No carbonation. Bit disappointing, really.

Cloudy, dark amber color and a tiny white head. Fruity nose, sweetish apricots, tart. Taste starts witj a decent sourness, folowed by juicy apricots. Acidic, fruity finish
