As big fans of geuze-style beers, we wanted to give our own spontaneous fermentation beer a go. To our own surprise, with success. Aside from our own Spierelambiek - our spontaneously fermented beer named after a tiny river that runs near the brewery - we use two traditional lambieks from the valley of the Senne (close to Brussels) to make a blend. One, two and three year old lambieks are used in Mirakel, our own miracle.

Bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. 2019 vintage, but I can’t be arsed adding a new beer just for it to get aliased. Opens almost silently. Pours a hazed gold, with barely a head. Doesn’t look massively inviting. Nose has bright, lemony brett. Fresh wood. Touch of aniline leather. Apple peel and baked dessert apple. Taste is juicy and tart. Woody, brett bitterness. Apple sweetness too. Medium body. Pretty oily. Very soft carbonation. Tangy and juicy brett bitterness to finish.

Hazy golden with a small white head. Funky aroma with earthy and mineral notes, and hints of wood, ripe fruit and citrus peel. Dry and tart fruity and funky flavour.

(Bottle, 0.75 l, a sample, at Craft Beer Helsinki 2019) The beer poured deep golden and hazy. Its head was small and white. Aroma had fruitiness, tartness, wood and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, tartness, wood and bitterness. Aftertaste was tart and bitter. A nice blend of lambics.

750 ml bottle from Etre Gourmet. Orange, medium hazy body, with a small, off-white head. Aroma of sweet yellow fruits, apples, wood, citrus, moderate young cheese. Tastes pretty similar. Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a quite low carbonation. Finishes medium dry, moderate sour, a bit sweet, wooden, with green apple skin, some citrus, slight funk. Very nice. Quite complex, while also really fresh and crisp. Quite low carbonation, which is quite fitting though. Not outstanding maybe, but interesting stuff. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 15
