75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Winter Gathering. Misty deep purple appearance, white head. Interesting blueberry / apple hybrid.. seems a little jarring at times, can't say the apple is fully welcome but it's tolerated whilst you search for more blueberries. Moderately sweet, nicely sour. Generally decent

1/III/25 - 75cl bottle @ Belgian Beer Geek Gathering (2025 Winter/Spring edition), BB: 31/XII/27 (2025-181) Thanks to Bierridder for sharing the bottle!
Cloudy dark purple beer, small creamy pink head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: fruity, blueberries indeed, funky, brett, woody, ok. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very sourish, lots of blueberries, some vinegar, woody, tannins, bitter touch. Aftertaste: nice acidity, lots of malic acid, fruity, pleasant finish. Good decent fruit lambic.

Bouteille 75cl @ Belgian Winter gathering 01 March 2025 – Tim’s place, thanks Siegfried.
Léger rosé/pourpre, col blanc rosé moyen.
Arôme sur un bouquet floral de pommes qui ressort bien avec un léger apport de myrtille en rétro-nasal. Le tout sur un renfort délicat de lambic qui ne brille pas vraiment pour son assemblage.
Palais est sur une base ‘sourish’ assez marqué avec un apport délicat fruité de la myrtille, finement aigrelet avec un léger retrait de pomme acerbe – comme sur d’autres versions le côté lambic/gueuze se retrouve un peu perdu.

Very pale pink medium head, reasonably stable over fully opaque dark red purplish beer with indeed pieces of fruit. Fruitaroma, but also banana, diary, and something strangely boozy, or even white spirit like. Warming up, this unwelcome aroma transcends into a whisky-like smell. Quite sour, lactic, fruitacids, and indeed, sour apple, crabapple, appleskins. Fine flavours, if not much aftertaste nor lingering aromas. Fruited buttermilk. Feels almost as Champenoise pearling, further alleviating the already light body, acidthinning, mild acidburn. Not as convincing as some blends.
