375mL bottled 1/16/2024, drunk 7/18/25.
Clear, warm-hued copper-amber-peach. Small, neat, off-white head.
Fruity, bretty, lightly apple-y nose is round, gently oaky, not aggressive at all, with light malt and wheat and a hint of sweet caramel. Little bit of horsey/manure funk in there, too!
Bretty fruits and good acidity with gentle oak, light lactic acidity, no acetic. Good maltiness, soft, chewy wheat, light sweetness. Mild funk, with a tangy, zesty acidity lingering. Very round, mild, approachable stuff. Surprised it's 6.8%. Drinks much lighter (though is fairly malty). Wouldn't hate a bit more funk and raw mineral character, but that's always going to be the case with lambics.

375ml from De Bierschuur shared with Alex @ Ryan's deck enjoying a finally arrived warm days.
Aroma: nice funk and horse blanket, some sweetness and minerals.
Taste: along the same lines, kinda more on the mineral side than Tilquin usually is.
Overall: nice one. More preferable for me than 60-40 as it's more intense and prominent.

Poured from 375mL bottle (bb 16/01/2034; side by side with 60-40). Clear-ish gold with small white head. Dry-ish, more Tilquin tartness than compared to the 60-40, actually get less barnyard character on this bottle. Decent. Blended the last little bit of each and came out with the most balanced version.

Bouteille 37.5cl dégustée en parallèle avec la version 60/40. BB 16/01/2034.
Dorée sur un léger voile que je trouve un tantinet plus foncé que la version 60/40, col peu teance sur la blanc-cassé.
Arôme reprend un peu de ce que j'ai trouvé sur la version 60/40 mais ici, je trouve un côté malts/céréales plus présents avec une pointe sur le caramel. Je note aussi ce côté abricot - noyaux, voire amande.
Palais sur un acarctère cliarement différent de sa consoeur. Le lambic de deux ans se démrquent, je trouve le tout plus balancé, et fruité aussi. Effet boisé qui ressort plus, plus fleuri, notes agrumes-citron, pamplemousse rose voire pointe d'orange sanguine avec une fine minéralité de fin de bouche. Fruité renforcé qui vient rappelet l'abricot et la reine claude.

375ml bottle from Raynville Superstore. It pours slightly hazy golden - yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is musty, minerality, damp straw, hay, lemon rinse, gooseberry and ripe cheese. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, bright acidity, minerality, floral accents, preserved lemon, touch of sherbet, white grape skin, must, damp wood, deep funk, barnyard.and a touch of tannin with a bone dry and slightly acidic finish. Medium body and moderate+ fluffy carbonation. Love the mix here. Bright and zippy. Quffable to say the least.

Flaska från SB. Pigg och livlig vätska, frisk men inte vass syra, mineraler, källare, gröna äpplen, citrus, hård nektarin och gula plommon. Pigg och ung men ändå relativt komplex och nyanserat trots att det bara är 1- och 2-årig lambic. Mycket gott
