37.5 cl bottle at home, supposedly this is better than the 75cl bottles, let's see. Clear reddish pink with fizzy head that doesn't last long, I think it looks different from the bigger bottle but not 100% sure. Thick funk, horse, light lemon, indeed some red currants, hay. Medium sour, light sweet and bitter. Over medium bodied with low carbonation. Very tasty, not super fruity and quite low carbonated (as happens sometimes with Tilquin). Good, seems different from the large bottle, but not sure it's better.
An absolutely lovely and fruity lambic blend. Lots of currants, still pretty fresh and zingy. The lambic is pretty dry, nicely funky and a bit sour. Lots of straw and even more wood. Flavourful, but not in your face.
Hay, gooseberry mineral & redcurrant forward nose. Wet hay, stone fruit, plum stone and redcurrant on the palate. Low acidity. Elegant!
Shared bottle, funky, great, dry, wood, aroma is amazing, lots of fruity sourness, ‘aalbessen’, this is fantastic, best fruity sour so far !
