I lost count of how many single-flavoured unblended experimental lambics Oud Beersel has produced in the past few years so far – but most of them have proven very entertaining, so I never skip one when I see it advertised somewhere, in this case Bar Beenhouwer (which usually has one on tap). Cheers Meeki! Thinnish, snow white, moussey, opening head on a misty deep yellow-golden robe with somewhat khaki-like tinge. Aroma of freshly cut lemon and lemon zest, freshly mown lawn, lime peel, wood sorrel, fresh spring onion, unripe mandarin, background structures of old wood, stale sweat and pickled gherkins. Refreshingly lemony or lime juice-like onset, citrusy but not overly acidic, softish carb, smooth and somewhat vinous body; dry bread-crusty graininess under drying yet fruity lactic tartness (green apple) and ongoing lime, teaming up with drying woody tannins and the hops – accentuating this bright yellow-green, radiant fruitiness, blending freshly crushed green gooseberry and Granny Smith apple with lime and lemon as well as spring onion and sorrel. Simcoe does not, however, become too oniony here: instead it retains its youthful citrusiness and lends the lambic a beautiful brightness and crispness, accentuating the lemony aspect in a soft, very easily drinkable, colourful way. A little gem, this one – absolutely delicious!
