Once again the family of Pierre Tilquin branches out, with three new additions to this series, which has been nothing less but glorious so far; in this case, a great-great-great-grandmother called Angélique is commemorated, with a blend of only 2 and 3 year old lambics. Quite thick, egg-white, papery lacing, fluffy, stable, dense head on an initially clear, warm 'old golden' robe with apricot tinge and a whirlwind of champagne-like sparkling throughout. Aroma of fresh orange pith, unripe mandarin, freshly cut Granny Smith apples, medium dry sherry, old wood, dusty attic, dry haystack, hard unripe nectarine, green plum, dried out white bread, touch farmland in the background. Very crisp onset, lots of fruity esters and lively acidity in a fruity, citric way, impressions of Granny Smith apple (pronounced), green plum, yuzu and kiwiberry, with a strong, 'mountain stream'-like minerality running underneath; champenoise effervescence continues through a rounded bready core soaked in sour-fruitiness, complex acidity and drying woodiness, which in the end meets a retronasal dry farmland-ish funky touch yet maintains its vibrant, crisp and citric juiciness till the last drop (also because old hop bitterness is fairly 'silent' here - though necessary, and subtly palpable underneath it all). This Mrs. Angélique must have been a feisty lady, with such a vibrant, juicy and citrusy geuze posthumously representing her - one of the more 'refreshing' geuzes in this series so far, I guess, but still with this sherry-like tone constantly present in the background, as a continuous reminder that only old(er) lambics were used. This combination of crispness and maturity is absolutely beautiful - a geuze in the prime of its life, so to speak. No matter what blends come out in this series, each and every one of them has been excellent so far, with many at world class level in the genre. This one is no exception.
