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).

(Bottle, 0.375 l, at Gastropub Tuulensuu, 20110719) The beer poured orange and cloudy. Its head was small and white. Aroma had sourness, grapefruit, vomit and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied and a little bit dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were sourness, grapefruit, fruitiness, wood and bitterness. Aftertaste was sour, woody and fruity. A very good mixture of lambics from four sources letting their styles to show and still being original. I hope to be able to try more.

Bottled. Hazy golden, rich head. Enormous cobweb and barnyard aroma. Citric and lemony. Dry and soft with medium body. Drie Fonteinen-like relaxed softness, blanced citric acidity. Superbly drinkabkle and vastin character.

Bottled 750ml (PBF, vintage 2011)
Hazy orange color, small white head. Tart fruity Cantillon-like aroma. Medium-bodied. Tart, leathery and fruity flavor. Very good drinkability. Lingering tartness in the aftertaste. I think Cantillon dominates in this blend. Super.

75 cl bottle @ Tuulensuu, BBE 11/12/2020
Started coming spontaneously out of the bottle in form of a foam. Sour and fruity aroma with some fruity peachness. Taste is sour with a hint of lactacic acid like in the Tilquin Lambic Blend. An average gueuze.

25 cl from plastic cask @ Tuulensuu as ”Tilquin Lambic Blend”
Sour aroma has some fruits, maybe orange? Taste is sour and dry. Acidic in a bit lactic way. Nice blend, but does not reach the top.

Draught@Gastropub Tuulensuu (from plastic cask, sold as "Tilquin Lambic Blend")
Slightly hazy deep honey - amber color, no head. Tart barnyardish nose has fruityness and some lemony notes. Medium-bodied. Tart but very good drinkability, fruity, lemony. Feels young, not much carbonation, but refreshing summer drink.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Rating #5100. Marked as best before 11/12/2020. Pours with a hazy golden body with a small white head that fades to a ring and lingers around the side of the glass. Aromas are huge, very funky (a complex and deep funk), white wine, brett, oak. Some horseblanket, honey, esters and florals. Very complex. Flavors are again, complex. Funk, musty, dried stone fruits, lively, bright. Rich wood notes, horseblanket, honeysuckle with balancing tannins. White wine vinous notes. Lively bubbles with decent acidity, bright, and dry. A very nice new Gueuze from a new blender. Leans a bit to the funk side of things over the sharper acidity of a Cantillon or 3Font. A bit like 1882, but clearly its own. Very nice!

Cask @ Moeder Lambic. Dorée présentant une légère brume, col est blanc qcq bulles à la surface rappelant un peu une texture œuf battu. Arôme de vinaigre, boisé et chêne sorte de pulpe fruitée et de grains. On y retrouve les bonnes caractéristiques du lambic. En bouche, fruité, note vinaigre balsa qui vient titiller le dessus du palais, note de baies des bois acidulées, sec et faible carbonation avec une touche de fleuri. Solide.
