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 that we picked up from Dranken Vandenwoude, Veurne. Belgium. Had this Saturday 14th February 2026 at the Manglham 2nd Winter Tasting listening to Maserati - Rehumanizer. Very similar to the last beer from Tilquin, i.e. pours almost clear with a slim white head, in fact almost no head, carbonation isn't as spritzy here, compared to the last Tilquin this is good but it's floundering a little, yeah it's a zappy number and very and nice mouthfeel, but lacking the impact and also lasting impression of that beer. Okay less of the last beer and more of this, it's more wine territory, very tannic around the gums (not a bad thing) dry across the roof of the mouth, little furry edge, tart and tangy. Score 7.4

Bottle. Hazy golden. Bretty, Light vineous, light flowery. Medium body, spritzy, Ahoibrause fizz, a bit almond, slightly simpler than the Riesling version.

Bottled, thx Fin for sharing at the Mangled Ham 2026! Clearish golden body, head going soon. Juicy white grapes and a buncha brett in the aroma, bit herbal. Drier, more herbal and minerally bretty taste than the taste indicated, lightly astringent in the finish, low sourness. Compared to the Riesling of the same vintage it smells better, but tastes less interesting. Figures, a very good one, not a great one in my book.

Poured from 375mL bottle (bb 08/06/2027). Hazy dull yellow with small white head. Gentle white grape must with tart funk underlay. Decent, but prefer some of the other Meerts renditions.

12/IV/24 - 37.5cl bottle from the brewery, shared @ Barjac (FR), BB: 8/VI/27, 21-22 version (2024-231) - Tasted side by side with 20-21 version, preferred the 20-21.
Clear to little cloudy orange beer, no head. Aroma: fruity, funky, grapes, woody, earthy, some citrus, nice! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: gentle acidity, lemony, grapes, juicy, bitter touch, some tannins, oranges, nice! Aftertaste: dry, woody, bitter finish, tannins, good stuff, I like it, but I liked the 20-21 version even better!
