Fruit Lambic 6 º

Bofkont

This exquisite Fruit Lambic showcases a masterfully aged blend of one, two, and three-year-old spontaneously fermented ales infused with Barbera grapes from Piedmont. On the nose, intense fermented grape character leads with notes of dark cherry and blackberry, intertwined with a complex barnyard funk and dusty cellar aromatics. The palate is vibrantly tart, showcasing the high natural acidity of the Barbera grapes alongside a bone-dry finish and sophisticated tannins. A lively, mousse-like carbonation lifts the vinous complexity, revealing hints of aged oak and a lingering, earthy funk that defines the Bofkont house character and the depth of the matured lambic base.

Appearance. Deep ruby to soft purple with moderate haze; a dense, pink-tinted, mousse-like head exhibits excellent retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; prominent fermented Barbera grape aromatics with notes of tart red fruit, dark cherry, and floral violet. The lambic base provides complex barnyard funk, horse blanket, and a dusty, aged wood character with moderate lactic tartness.

Taste. Initial impression is sharply tart and vinous. Flavors of fermented Barbera grapes dominate, offering blackberry and cherry skin nuances. The middle reveals a complex lambic core with hay, leather, and oak. Bitterness is very low to nonexistent. Finishes bone dry with a lingering acidic snap and earthy Brettanomyces complexity.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, sparkling carbonation that provides a prickly, refreshing mouthfeel. Low alcohol warmth is well-integrated; a subtle grape-derived tannin provides structure without harsh astringency.
