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).

Draught at Moeder Lambic, Fontainas, as Tilquin Lambic Blend
Hazy golden color; small frothy head. The aroma is very cheesy, feety, with wet cellar. Smooth and soft mouthfeel, also because of the low carbonation; semi dry, with lovely lemony and cheesy accent, strong cellar character, cobwebs; medium astringency in the final.
A lovely blend, with a lot of character and freshness!

Draught (thanks K.B.!). Hazy goldeny orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is bitter and sour wooden notes along with some slight earth and yeasty notes. Flavour is bitter and sour wood along with mild tart fruityness as well as some yeast, herbs and mild spices. Very refreshing, and though quite sour, also rather easy to drink.

Golden colour, hazy. Mellow funk in the aroma. The mouthfeel is mellow, the funkiness is quite strong, the acidity is not much; hints of candied fruits; wonderful.
2022-20-08, corked demi bottle from Beer Planet, Brussels, marked 2010 2011, bb 22/12/2020, 8-4-7-4-15=38
Hazy blond color, with a darker shade; well carbonated, with a quite generous head. The aroma is strong, permeating the room, with very nice notes of cellar, Bretts and cobwebs in the beginning (8); some different kind of acidity follows, sweat, and traces of lemon and puke (7). Lean body, the mouthfeel has some more smoothness than other Gueuzes, it has the high acidity and lemon character of younger Lambics, but with a nice astringency in the end. Good, with moderate character and complexity.

375 ml bottle @ Patricks. Hazy orange body with a big, beautiful lasting off-white head and heavy carbonation. Aroma has lots of fruit, specially grapefruit, hint of lemon and relatively moderate funk/barnyard. Flavor is incredible fresh and fruity, pleasant acidic and again a bit more moderate in the funk department. Medium body, tart aftertaste and all in all brilliant balanced. This beer is for real and all the aroma and flavors are authentic geuze, at the same time this is not on the challenging side and should be a nice place to start for the skeptic sour beer drinker. Dificult to dislike this, I think I could drink this beer all night long wile waiting for next years version and hoping for something a bit more rough edge.

Zythos Bierfestival 2012, Leuven, Belgium. It pours sort of orange gold with thin near white head of foam. The aroma offers up musty dank citrus fruit, some basement dankness and wet horse like goodness. Yes! The aroma is rich and deep and involved with yumminess. I also get tart vinegar nuances sort of circling around the edges. The taste is thin and smooth and running from rich sour notes to modest tartness and then rivers of vinegar coursing through the middle. It ends dry and somewhat sour and tart and funky yumminess. Now this I like, damn!
