The Meerts Tilquin series was made by fermenting fruit that had already been used once. Pinot Gris grapes were fermented for a period of 4 months in a blend of 80% 1 year old Meerts and 20% of a blend of different 2 year old lambics. Meerts (or March Beer) is a low strength lambic, which was originally produced with the weaker wort obtained from the rinsing of the grains. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, they are refermented in the bottle.

Sample (21/22, thanks fonefan!). Golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is grapes, some tart wood, mild citrus with a bit of acidic elements to it. Flavour is floral, some fruity, evident grapes, some acidity with nice wooden tones to it. Lovely sweetish sour thing.

Bouteille 37.5cl, BB 23/06/2031.
Dorée, col fin blanc disparaissant vite.
Arôme est encore pas mal complexe au niveau du Riesling avec un bouquet classique de l'assemblage de lambic/boisé,/funk repris par un bouquet discret entre pomme, tilleul et léger miel.
Palais est frais, sec voire finement poussiéreux. Douceur un peu latente fruitée, agrumes-citronné, finement herbacé et fleuri / tilelul, fruits confits se mariant bien avec le volet plus acidulé du lambic. Légère minéralité rivalisant avec son voisi Gewurtzstraminer avec e, fin un léger fruité vert.

A taster shared with Josh, Matt, Phill, and Ryan during FHF with priceless Rachel's (yup, again!) help in organizing all the mess with glasses. Appearance: hazy blonde. Aroma: nice funk and fruity notes. Taste: same. Overall: good, maybe a bit too dry anda bit acidic.

375mL bottle, pours a clear blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out fairly pungent white grape skins, barnyard funk, some musty grape, and light earthiness. Flavour is moderately tart, with plenty of white grape skins, light-to-medium acidity, and a touch of funk. Dry, earthy vinous and gently acidic finish. Pretty good for second usage grapes — it's a bit muted — and nowhere close to their regular Oude Riesling.
