Poured from 750mL bottle (bb 15/02/2032). Hazy dark orange gold with small white head. Touch of horse blanket, earthy funk, gooseberry, easy drinking, understated, quite nice Tilquin.

750ml from our Festival of Dark Arts 2026 trip with Josh @ Ryan's shared with Josh, Farees, and Phill.
Aroma: nice funk, wood, hay, a bit dusty and fruity.
Taste: along the same lines. Finishes with some funky bitterness. Gooseberries. Moderately carbonated.
Overall: pleasant, but it's not impressive and assertive, as many others from Tilquin.

Dull-looking. Any other style and I'd be docking it points for this shit. The aroma is predominantly leathery, maybe a little bit of lemon. On the palate, really interesting. Low carb for a gueuze, but a bright lemony, citrus, then some wood in the finish. A touch of brett and moderate tartness. Big leathery finish, quite tart.

12 September 2025. At Rose Red, Bruges. Cheers to Anke, mom & dad!
Hazy golden, thin, foamy, white head. Aroma of gooseberry, quince, green apple, rhubarb, oak, horseblanket, vague rosemary. Taste has sour gooseberry, quince, apple & plum in a bread-crusty, sourdough-like malt body surrounded by funky notes of hay, grass and cheese. Very long, mouth-puckering finish, lots of lactic acid, rhubarb, some grape, oak-like tannins and soft white wine-like alcohol. Medium body, moussy texture, average carbonation. Feels very 'noble'; relatively acidic with restrained funk.

750mL bottled Feb 15, 2022, drunk Aug 11, 2024. Clear, darker golden-copper. Small, white head, moderate-to-low retention. Fruity, vivacious, Tilquin-esque nose (mild acids, very fruity, nicely mellowed lactic character, little/no acetic, little/no funk, moderately oaky). Clean, crisp, clear and polished with pineapple and other light tropical fruits, light biscuit and wheat and not much funk. Similar flavor, polished, bright, tart, with mild Brett adding some tropical fruit notes and mellow lactic acidity. Oaky and with good tannin and wheat slickness/softness. Clean and flavorful. Just wish there was a bit more funk. Suggestions of Boon-like apple notes.
