375 ml bottle. Pours a pinkish copper color with light head. Aromas of red berries, gooseberries, oak, and sharp wheaty malts. Flavors of tart earthy red berries, oak, citrus and more sharp wheaty malts. Very enjoyable.

Bouteille 37.5cl, BB 11/05/2032.
Couleur sur un léger rosé pâle, oscillant sur le cuivre, col fin rosé.
Arôme sur un bouquet fruité complexe rendant honneur aux airelles, ici c'est chargé en parfum de baies rouges, cela se dégage déjà dès l'ouverture. En appui, je note l'apport savant de l'assemblage des lambics, cela procure un effluve 'funk', cellier, barrique, léger grains.
Palais est chargé en fruits avec une longueur de bouche marquée par l'apport des airelles. Belle acidité avec une balance entre le côté aigre-doux. Assez sèche et poussiéreuse en fin de bouche avec une rondeur latente des airelles. Je m'attendais à un fruit nettement plus acide, ici le compromis est surprenant tant je note une legère sucrosité suivie immédiatement par une acidité fruitée.
Une gueuze solide avec un rendu fruité toujours au top après quasi 4 ans en bouteille - étonné de voir des airelles rendre autant.

Aromas are Brett, fruit, floral, malt and herbal. Flavors are similar to nose, add in a little spicy and mild tartness with a bit of sweet in back. Some bitter. Goodbody and carbonation. Finish follows flavors. Good lingonberry lambic.

Hazy reddish pour wkth a medium off white pinkish head. Aroma is lingonberry, but it seems like cherries. Tart, white vinegar, barnyard, wet hay and light citrus, and some significant funk. Super tart, and dry, lightly soapy, astringent and very funky and tart. Wild stuff.

Pale amber-brown, some haze, and a somewhat weak head. It's got that nice light leathery Tilquin nose. The fruit is restrained. On the palate, this is more acidic than most Tilquins, and again the lingonberry isn't all that pronounced. It's subtle. There's certainly some leather but the acidity is what dominates the palate. Compared with other Tilquins this is sharper and with less bright fruit character.
gave a cheers!

A: lingonberry, lemon, rhubarb, woody, bit lactic.
T: sour red berries, rhubarb, bit lactic, woody, old lemon, nice puckering, medium carbonation, nice brett, bit more sour to be great for the style for me, still fully enjoyed.
