This new beer is a lighter version of our Oude Questche Tilquin à l'ancienne. Same recipe as the Oude Questche Tilquin à l'ancienne with 250 gr fresh plums per liter, but lighter in alcohol, due to the use of a blend of 50% of Meerts and 50% of 1 and 2 years old lambics.

Keg at Beavertown Extravaganza, 2017 - London. Pours clear grapefruit pink with no head. Good poopy funk, lemon, decent acidity, light plum. Light to medium bodied with fine massaging carbonation. Good balance to finish, moderately dry, a little seedy bitterness, more tart fruits. Great stuff.

(Keg at Pikkulintu Kontula, 20210805) The beer poured deep orange and cloudy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had tartness, sourness, plums and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sourness, tartness, wood, fruitiness, plums, malts and low bitterness. Aftertaste was sour, soft and bitter. A delicious tart brew with good drinkability.

Draught at Tip Tap Room, 7/29/21.
Bright, clear, strawberry-golden with a small ring of bubbles atop.
Brilliantly fruity nose is authentic and integrated nicely with lush Brett and light lactic acidity. Not intensely funky with quite a bit of fruit at this stage, but still lets you know it's a real lambic. No cheap/punchy acidity nor any abundance of sugar. No alcohol or flaw noted. Strong minerality.
In the mouth it's quite malty/substantially-textured (perhaps wheat-heavy). Fruit sugars are well-attenuated but light sweetness remains to gently add balance to the Brett and lacto character. Plum skin, light barnyard and a dollop of honey on the finish with long-lingering acidity. Lovely and elegant, of course.

Flavor is nice, well balanced, tart with pomegranate vinegar, raw strawberry, some neutral oak, sweet tarts, a little spritzy Aperol. Finishes with high carbonation, medium acid and dry.

Draft. An unclear pink beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of fruit, brett, funk, and malt. The flavor is sour with notes of lemons, brett, funk, plums, and malt, leading to a tart finish.
