Drucken på fat på Bishop Gustaf Malmö. Sötare och fruktigare doft. Saftig, lite fruktköttig persika med av drag av persikogodis som harmonierar perfekt med lambicen. Mycket gott

Peach lambic – the first by Tilquin – in a whole series of new experimental fruit lambics. Snow white, loose, open, bubbly head on a hazy yellow-tinged straw-golden beer. Aroma of sweet ripe (yellow) peach and strongly so, sour apples, straw, grape skins, dry white wine, unripe gooseberries, drying lime peel. Sweet peach returns in the onset but of course embedded in lemony and lactic lambic sourness, softly carbonated (the sugars from the fruit have likely prompted mild additional fermentation), slick wheaty base; strong peach kernel and peach skin tannins in the end, along with growing sourness, to a puckering, very drying effect, yet kept supple by the sheer juiciness of the peach flesh. Lovely ripe peach effect here, comparable with the peach lambic 3 Fonteinen has produced this year, one can wonder why ‘oude’ pêche hasn’t been more a thing traditionally speaking. This to me was one of the best of the new Tilquin fruit lambics and I suspect a very likely candidate to make it into bottled form next year.
