Our Sunstead series captures the essence of perfectly ripe stone fruits, allowing us to savor the warm flavors of summer all year long. The base beer is a blend of one, two and three-year-old Danish Wild Ales aged in Chardonnay and Monbazillac barrels. We racked this onto freshly destoned and crushed Bergeron apricots at a rate of over 600 grams of apricots per liter, and left it to macerate with the fruit for over a month before bottling. This complex, soft and juicy beer tastes almost like biting into a fragrant apricot, transporting you back to the high days of summer no matter when you drink it.

Bottle 75 cl. Pours a clear golden with a small, off-white head. Tart, farty acetobacter aroma. Medium body, mouthdryingly tart with some apricot notes in the deep. Complex and interesting - fair game for Lambic lovers. 261225

2023 vintage. Orange body, with a small, off-white head. Lovely aroma with lots of cheesy funk and apricot, some straw. Tastes much more dry and acidic. Medium mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes dry, acidic, fruity, a bit funky, with straw, apricot. The nose is amazing, with beautiful rustic funk and ripe apricot notes. The taste is a bit disappointing though, much too acidic for me. Score: 9 / 4 / 7 / 3 / 15

Spritziger, sehr saurer Fruchtbeginn. Angenehm nach Aprikose, was eine deutliche Bitterkeit hinter sich her zieht. Spritzig, dennoch weich, rund, lecker. 10/11/11/11//11

Taster From bottle at home. yellow hazy color, small white head. smells apricot, stone fruits, Marzipan, lovely smell. full body, soft carbonation. tastes apricots, lactic, earthy, peppery, subtle marzipan. finishes dry and light to medium sour with notes of apricots, marzipan and lactic notes. Very nice one, but rather on the dry / sour side.
