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.

Bottle at home. Pours opaque, pale golden with no head. Nose is some vagueish musty grape character, more in the background than in the spotlight, some citric acidity, light funk, some peach? Taste is similar, fairly acidic but not as much fruit character as expected, some drying tannins in the finish, leaving a dry palate. Nothing extraordinary.

Bottle, 375ml corked. A lightly hazy golden colored beer with a minimalistic white head. Nice sourish-fruity aroma, funky, with lemon, leather notes, some barnyard and a good dash of grapes. It's full to medium bodied and quite tart, with a good carbonation. Funky flavor too, fruity, with a touch of pale malts. Leather, barnyard and horseblanket, with grape, lemon and some gooseberry. Nice indeed. 241223

opalescent pale yellow colour, minimal off-white lacing; aroma of lemony-lemon zesty, barnyard, some unripe grape and vinous notes; taste has the same notes as can be felt in the aroma with some yeasty, as well as minimal acetone notes; great one!
