10 July 2022. At In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst (Eizeringen). Cheers to the lovely Anke!

Clear golden, no head. Aroma of green tea, wet grass, unripe apricot, tree bark, dried orange peel, leather, straw. Taste has sourish young apricot, orange & lemon; bitter & herbal notes of tea leaves, straw & leather kicking in, leading to a tart & dry finish of wood, more herbal tea and some old grassy hops. Medium body, slick-oily texture, flat carbonation. Very unusual result, but quite likeable.

On tap at Cafe Pardaf. A hazy orange golden beer. Aroma of orange fruits and funk. Taste of tart grapes, orange fruits, zest wine, oak.

Cloudy gold with no head. Just a touch of dust and some wood funk. Light soured woody funk. Dry and a sour finish. A soft bitterness underlying.

Draught Disparate white head over veiled copperish orange beer. Lambic with saddlepolish, wild flowers, tannines already announcing themselves, horsechestnut. Sweetish-sourish-tannine bitter, in a surprisingly good balance. All the aromas returning retronasal. Ultra dry and dry-out effect. Almost no carbonation, yet a titillating feel. Excellent mariage, cudo's for this achievement!

Bag in box (I guess) at Malý/Velký. Did I get all of them now? Anyway, golden-orange body, white head. Funky aroma, glue, classic lambic notes, but light alcohol too. 6.8% and it shows. Quite tart, herbal, dry taste, slightly salty, okay funk, traces of tea notes. Basically almost a classic lambic with slightly more alcohol and maybe some herbal touches. Liked it somewhat less than the olive leaf version.

Tap @ Roberto's Tasting Room, Birmingham. Pours misty yellow, thin white head. Aroma brings bright woody floral wild notes, continuing to taste with herbal floral funk, gentle lactic presence with distant green tea notes. Interesting but a little deflated, could benefit with more carbonation.

Another experiment with flavoured lambic by Oud Beersel, this time with sencha, a type of Japanese green tea (not to be confused with matcha, which is also a Japanese green tea but produced differently). At Billie’s Craft Beer Fest. Very thin and open, off-white ring on a hazy warm peach blonde beer. Aroma of wet hay, lemon rind, sherry vinegar, green tea indeed adding unexpected impressions of fennel seed and raw cucumber. Crisp, sour onset, lemony but in a refreshing way, strong unripe stonefruit astringency even, soft carb, dry body, very tart and a bit sherryish in flavour, until a herbal quality shows up and adds a ‘deep green’ tinge to the finish, with a kind of ‘botanical’ effect making this one quite distinct, but also very interesting. Nice one, this one should make it into a bottled blend somehow – this is, certainly to a lambicophile’s palate, surely more accessible than the smoked tea versions they created last year…
