For the past two years, we've been making a fruited blend with Camerise in small quantities. Also known as haskap or blue honeysuckle, these berries are slightly sweet with a beautiful acidity.
The beer's color is a deep, deep red. It's powerful and very fruit-forward, but still maintains a nice, mellow balance between acidity and astringency.
We didn't have to look very far for a its new name... a blue fruit that makes a blood-red beer: Sang Bleu. Our friend Ammo has outdone himself once again, creating a superb new label to go with its new name.

Maceration of 2-year old lambic with blue honeysuckle.

Bottle. Very deep beetroot red colour with a reddish beige head. Aroma is farmhouse, some sweet berries, mild tart wooden tones with some slight spicy and herbal tones. Flavour is dry wood, some berries, mild herbal and some slight earthy tones. Some mild nutty elements too.

--Keg at Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fà, Rome. -- Deep burgundy colour, small pink head. Concentrated blackberry-like nose. Mildly citric with medium body and spritzy, rounded mouthfeel. Cantillon citric tartness countered by intense dark berries. Some stale hop bitterness. Part by part it is lovely, but the sum of the parts doesn't add up to that.

Taster from 0,75l bottle at Carnivale Brett, Amsterdam. Deep red color, small pink head. smells berry notes, super jammy, subtle fruit joghurt, berry goodness. Wow. full body, soft carbonation. tastes intense berry notes, jammy, marzipan, fruit tannins. finishes lightly dry and lightly sour with notes of berry notes, jam and tannins. Super, super lovely. I just love this beer, another great vintage

0,75l bottle at home. Vintage 2021. deep red color, small pink head. smells funky, earthy, berry notes, spices. lovely smell full body, pearly carbonation. tastes berry notes, funky, spices, tannins, leathery, juicy. finishes lightly dry and light to medium sour with notes of berry notes, spices and leathery notes. love this beer, not as juicy as some of the fresher ones I had, but lovely complexity, berrys come through more after it warms.
