Bottle from Sandersput Ninove. Hazy orange, small, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of orange zest, apricot, plum, straw, coriander, grapefruit juice, wood, parsley. Taste has sour orange, apricot & some grape, turning towards bitter notes of grapefruit juice & coriander in a sourdough-like malt profile. Tart citrus peel in the finish, fresh citrus zest, coriander and wood. Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Not badly executed, but the added flavours lend some harshness to the base profile.

Pours bit unclear blonde. Small white head. Scent is quite high on the spices. Taste is strangely bitter, tart, rather fullbodied. Green apple, malty lambic, but the spices are a bit over the top to me, and the bitterness doesnt cooperate well.

Lambic flavoured with coriander and curaçao, the two spices added to the witbier tradition by the late Pierre Celis while he revived it; this lambic more or less commemorates the fact that lambic and witbier share a common ancestry in medieval Brabant so in itself, this is idea is not as far-fetched as it may seem (even when ignoring the fact that Timmermans already pioneered it in sweetened, pasteurized, ‘industrial’ form many years ago). Originally created for the 2019 edition of Billie’s Craft Beer Fest, this ‘white lambic’ by Oud Beersel has now been given the ‘sparkling infused’ treatment, so unblended lambic was bottled with added sugar in a geuze bottle to restart fermentation and thus create sparkling and a head. Egg-white, initially thick and frothy, stable head, only slowly decreasing and opening; hazy peach blonde robe, acquiring an ochre-ish tinge further on. Aroma of dry leather, old grapefruit zest, dry haystack, white peppercorns, peppermint leaf (oddly), dusty wood, indeed some background coriander, jute bags, old dry bread crust or rusk, green gooseberry, crabapple, orange pith and some typical Boon-like chlorine. Crisp onset, tart and dry but lively, with green apple, unripe plum and gooseberry notes with champenoise fizz; rusk-like core dried by a strong strain of lactic acidity and tannic woodiness, the latter quite strong as in old lambic (which this basically is), the curaçao coming into vision as a somewhat wry effect, as in dried bitter citrus peel (which it basically is). Coriander remains subtle, largely ‘eaten’ by the Brett by now I suppose, but there is a tinge of even slightly minty spiciness in the end which may or may not represent it. Long, dry, woody, noble, spicy and astringent finish, but very quenching. Flavoursome, tangy lambic, very much Oud Beersel in all its aspects, but with a spicy twist which even became a tad minty here and there. Surprising, refreshing and quenching, really enjoyed it.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with coriander upfront, with a touch of orange peel, and some earthy funk. Flavour is dominated by the coriander upfront, accentuated by orange peel, and some mild earthy funk. Nicely carb'd, which helps lift the floral, coriander notes out. Not super complex, but the infusion is pleasant and the sparkling character makes this very nice. Pleasant.
