Description
The Gueuzerie Tilquin began operations in February 2009. It was 12 years that a new gueuze-producer had emerged in Brabant (the previous was Geuzestekerij De Cam in Gooik, which began in 1997).

The Gueuzerie Tilquin is the first gueuze blendery in Wallonia. The company is located in Bierghes (Rebecq), 200 meters from the linguistic border, and is directed by Pierre Tilquin. Pierre is bio-engineer and holder of a PhD in statistical genetics. He then followed an intensive course in brewing science in Leuven, and he had his experience at the brewery Huyghe (Melle), 3 Fonteinen (Beersel) and Cantillon (Anderlecht).

Draft @ Moeder Lambic Brussels. Dorée, brumeuse, col épais blanc. Version similaire que la bouteille, avec en différence, un alcool un peu réduit, mais aussi une bière que je trouvais plus légère et douce que sa consœur, cela n’enlevant évidement pas du caractère de la gueuze, mais qui pour moi devrait rester en bouteille. Nez présente un léger arôme boisé, funk/brett et herbacé avec un aspect fruité tropical acidifié, sec et poussiéreux. Bière sèche, aspect vinaigre et fût de chêne, restant légère au palais, similaire à l’arôme avec en retrait cette petite touche Cantillon qui reviens pareil que la version en bouteille..

Dean Swift - RBESG Tasting.Cloudy gold beer, nice white head. Typical gueuze nose. Light dry palate. Pleasantly tangy sour beer. Crisp and just sour enough to induce a blink but not a pucker!! Lemon, grapefruit and a trace of tangerine. Dry sour finish. Decent sour.

Draught at Moeder Lambic, Fontainas
Hazy golden color, with small but creamy head. Deep and dry aroma of cellar and cobwebs, Bretts; some ammonia, and light hazelnuts. Dry mouthfeel, with some citrusy acidity and some hidden malt. Well balanced, very pleasant, refreshing.

Draught Huge, off-white dense head, over yellow beer, leaving shards of lace. Malts, citric, lemon and very "Bretty". Real gueuze flavour, citric as few, but surprisingly much less Cantillon-like than the bottled version. Light to medium bodied, obvious wheatslickness, very refreshing. Great,and interesting different version.

Bottle @ home, shared with DutchDrebus. Hazy yellow color, average white head. Smell sour and a little musty. Decent sour taste though carbo and body are a little disappointing.
