Fruit Lambic 6 º

Bofkont

This elegant Fruit Lambic showcases a sophisticated marriage between a multi-year blend of aged lambic and Italian Nebbiolo grapes. The nose is greeted by a complex interplay of funky barnyard notes and the vinous character of the grapes, evoking crushed rose petals and dark cherries. On the palate, a vibrant acidity cuts through the earthy, hay-like lambic base, while the Nebbiolo contributes a subtle tannic structure and red fruit depth. It finishes bone-dry with a lingering tartness and a refined, wood-aged complexity that reflects the heritage of the Piëmonte region and the meticulous blending craftsmanship of the brewery.

Appearance. Deep copper with distinct reddish-pink hues from the grape skins (SRM 6-10); clear to slightly hazy; fine-beaded, off-white to light pink head with moderate retention and thin lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; prominent vinous notes of red berries, rose petals, and tannins; underlying funk featuring horse blanket, damp hay, and aged oak; sharp lactic acidity and a touch of lemon zest.

Taste. Initial sharp, clean tartness followed by deep fermented grape flavors of sour cherry and pomegranate; low cracker-like malt profile provides a foundation for complex barnyard funk; very low bitterness; bone-dry, crisp finish with a lingering lactic tang and subtle tannic grip.

Mouthfeel. Light-medium body with a bright, effervescent carbonation; high acidity provides a pleasant puckering sensation; very mild tannic astringency from the Nebbiolo skins and seeds.
