One of this Czech sour ale specialist’s fruit experiments, a genuine lambic (spontaneously fermented and coolshipped – so ignoring legal definitions) but brewed with spelt, which is not an ingredient in traditional Belgian lambic; macerated with sour cherries. Thanks Jasper for sharing. Medium sized, opening, pale pinkish, moussy head on a fiery ruby red-glowing beer. Aroma of very obvious ripe and fleshy sour cherries (‘witbuiken’ or some other old variety), cherry wine, lemon, cherry tree leaves, cinnamon, almond, sour yoghurt, red wine vinegar, blackberries. Tart onset, lots of fruit acidity mingled with lambic acids, but also containing a sweeter, softer, fleshy hint of ripe fruit (even if it is essentially sour fruit); juicy with soft carb, lemony edge, slender cereally core and vinous mouthfeel, ‘hardened’ by cherry pit tannins accentuating dryness in the finish – but this wave of generously fleshy, juicy sour cherry remains dominant. Very generously fruited, which compensates for the somewhat lower level of complexity in comparison with ‘real’ (Pajottenland) cherry lambics.

Bouteille 75cl, BB 01/08/2027, merci Kevin.
Pâle, col fin blanc mousseux peu tenace.
Arôme sur un bouquet fleuri plaisant, jasmin, pêche, haies fruitières en fleur, fleurs des champs avec un léger côté poivre blanc. Nez céréales rustique, malt pils sur un effet 'saison'.
Palais présente un caractère fruité du Riesling assez sympa avec une très fine minéralité - le tout garde une touche plutôt rustique rappelant une saison avec un clin d’œil à DLS. Floral marqué avec un caractère de fleurs de jasmin avec un soupçon d'ananas du houblon Ariana ainsi que qcq agrumes. Fin de bouche plutôt sèche avec une amertume franche de deux houblons nobles qui se marient bien au caractère malté et du raisin.

Flaska från Métaphore, 2022. Backlog. Något ljusare guldfärgad, klar med vit krona. Fin och ren grundöl, druvorna inte superframträdande, mer utav druvstjälk och fat, även om relativt snällt. Förväntande mig nästan lite mer motstånd, men bra oavsett.

Flaska från Métaphore, 2022. Backlog. Tjusigt varmröd med rosaröd krona. Rejäl körsbärsbomb. Intense. Körsbärskärnor, mandel och mandelmassa, kanel. Väldigt drickbart, men kanske något enspårig i bärigheten.

Flaska från Métaphore, 2022. Backlog. Klar, ljusguldig med vit krona. Fint djup i både doft och smak. Fat, sultanas, en angenäm smörighet. Mycket bra.

Flaska från Métaphore, 2022. Backlog. Blek ljusguldig/halmfärgad med vit krona. Lätt och fräsch. Fin doft som drar åt en geuze med toner av funk, citrus och stenfrukt. I smaken något mindre syra i jämförelse med de tidigare jag druckit från serien. Mer brettigt/funkigt, frukten i bakgrunden. Väldigt drickvänligt.
