La Combustion Spontanée est une bière d’assemblage inspirée des Gueuzeries belge. Maturées en barriques de chêne de vin durant 17 mois, les bières de fermentation spontanée de cet assemblage sont faites de malt de plancher du Témiscamingue et de houblon suranné. Dans les fins fonds du chai du Prospecteur se retrouvent une panoplie de microorganismes présents dans l’air. C’est avec fringance que notre cave à fût de chêne a offert les ferments à cette bière et lui confère une acidité fruitée et légèrement aigre, un goût rustique ainsi que des arômes de terre, de cuir, de foin et d’étable. Bref, une bière sauvage, rustique et funky qui, je vous rassure, ne vous fera pas faire de combustion spontanée!

A hazed blonde ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity mix of tart berries, ground cherry, Epsom salts, light Brett, very nice. In mouth, a nice tart mix of ground cherry, light lactic notes, lemon, very nice. Bottle at Chambly 2026.

Fairly dull looking, pale. On the nose, sort of a pommaceous nose, some bugs. On the palate, certainly this is solid, with a bit of tartness, good fruity complexity. That touch of brett C is nice.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma has citrus, light acetic, oak, and wild bugs. Flavour is quite complex, with a nice wild yeast character, stone fruit, citrus, light-to-moderate acidity, and a little oak. Citrusy, wild and oaky, with a stone fruity finish. Very nicely done.
