Blend of young & old lambics, with wood-aged beet lambic and beet pomace from maceration.
The beets were carefully selected and harvested from Boerenerf's own field. The beets were peeled, milled and processed on the farm, and the juice was added to a recioto wine barrel with young lambic on the same night. The beet pomace went into maceration for several months.
When making this delicate blend, Boerenerf were extra cautious to balance the aroma, body and acidity.
The crisp acidity, subtle aroma and a smoth character brings out the best in this surprising blend.
Fermented, aged & bottled on the farm.

Medium head, bit fluffy, receding over veiled reddish-golden beer. Both present: lambic (farmyard) - and beetroot (earthy, clay). Lemon, light and spritzy, and beet, heavy and earthy. Interesting combination and likeable result. Titillating, lipsmacking acidity, acidburn. The most interesting here is the opposing, but not clashing! characters of the beetroot and those of the lambic. Kudo's for the try!

Bottle. Color: Hazy reddish orange, off-white pinkish head. Aroma: Rural funk, mix of fruity and earthy notes, some tartness. Taste: Rural funk, leathery hints, earthy notes, hints of beetroot, floral hints, notes of lemon. Moderate tart. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Long lasting finish. Another very nice Boerenerf blend.
