Fruit Lambic 6 º

Bofkont

This refined Fruit Lambic showcases a masterful blend of one and two-year-old lambic, providing a complex canvas for the inclusion of Belgian Plums. The sensory profile is defined by a vibrant interplay of sharp lactic acidity and the deep, fermented essence of dark stone fruit. Expect a rustic bouquet of barnyard funk, wet hay, and horse blanket, seamlessly integrated with the aromatic skin and pulp of the plums. On the palate, the beer is bone-dry and effervescent, delivering a puckering tartness and subtle tannic structure from the fruit skins that lingers into a clean, woody finish.

Appearance. SRM 6–10; deep gold with distinct ruby and violet highlights from the plum maceration. Generally clear to slightly hazy with a persistent, mousse-like off-white head that exhibits good retention.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant aromas of fermented Belgian Plums and dark fruit skins. Complex wild character follows with notes of leather, horse blanket, and aged wood. Low bready wheat malt and a hint of dusty cellar. No hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is sharply sour and fruity. Strong flavors of tart plum and stone fruit pits are balanced by a rustic, funky complexity. High attenuation leads to a bone-dry finish. Hop bitterness is negligible, while acidity and fruit tannins provide the primary structure.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, sparkling carbonation. Noticeable tart, puckering sensation on the tongue. Light alcohol warmth that is well-integrated. Crisp and refreshing without being harshly astringent.
