Pours a clear blonde, even a tad more clear than the quince lambic. Small white head. Scent is funky, brett, cider, dry. Taste is sharp, dry, quite apple forward. Milder on the quince. Somewhat funky.
Apples, juicy, acidic, sharp
Hapu, siidrine, puuviljane, õunane, pärmine. Ok.

Blend of quince lambic with cider (both homemade) from this new kid on the lambic block, from a 75 cl bottle with cork and muselet - once again thanks to tderoeck. Some 'gunsmoke' when opening and foam coming out after a few seconds, but no real gusher. Irregularly shaped, moussy, egg-white, opening but edge-retaining head on a hazy peach blonde beer with pale orangey hue, turning rather murky and deeper brownish-amber-tinged in the very end. Aroma of green apple, both freshly cut and as oxidized Granny Smith peel, quince jam without the sugar, cooking rhubarb, damp hay, withering sorrel, stale lemon juice, bread crust, sweat, green plant stalks, freshly cut thistles. Crisp onset, tart with a lot of malic acid from both the quince and the cider, strong green apple dryness, bit astringent even especially when the malic acid starts to mingle with the lactic acid; minerally carb, supple yet full body. Pleasantly bready 'soil' under ongoing drying lactic and malic sourness, very pronounced green apple and dry cider -effects, quince (if you are familiar with it) remaining unmistakable as well; also a lot of Granny Smith flesh and oxidized peel, merging seamlessly with the dry cider infusion into one 'green-fruity', dry and crisp whole. This spirit is maintained well into the finish, where hayish Brett notes, some old wood and dry hay are added, remaining refreshing, green and crisp till the last drop. Fruity in a tart way, but nowhere agressive; lovely tannic effects too but nowhere overpowering the quince-cider combo. Among all the 'malic' lambics I had so far - and admittedly there aren't many - this is probably the most beautiful one. The combo works, apple cider and quince intertwine perfectly into each other here - this is an 'apple-themed' lambic (assuming quince has a comparable effect to green apple) of great elegance, another testimony to this Boerenerf's surprisingly sudden greatness.

No head, and once more a beer looking as peach juice. Nice lambic nose with a bit of apples, turning into cider quickly. Quinces unmistakable in the flavour, along with apples and cider still obvious. Side aroma reminding of felt. Velvety texture, low to medium carbonation, bit (fruit)slick. Let's say far from bad, and finally a glimpse from this elusive relic surviving in the Pajottenland.

Bottle. Hazy golden-orange color with white head. Aroma is quince, earthy, apples, leather, hay. Taste is apples, quince, a bit rustic, barn, hay. Mealy-ish mouthfeel with low carbonation. Bizarrely dirty, but pretty damn good!
