Fruit Lambic 6 º

Bofkont

This 2021 vintage Fruit Lambic showcases the elegant integration of Hungarian Olasz Rizling grapes with a mature, funky lambic base. The nose opens with high-intensity aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, layered over a complex wild character of hay, wet wool, and aged oak. On the palate, the vinous Olasz Rizling contribution provides a sophisticated mineral backbone and a hint of almond bitterness that complements the sharp, lactic acidity. It finishes bone-dry and effervescent, leaving a lingering impression of grape skins and damp earth, exemplifying the harmonious balance between fruit-forward brightness and rustic, barnyard complexity.

Appearance. Pale gold to light straw (SRM 4); brilliant to slight haze with a voluminous, mousse-like white head that demonstrates excellent retention.

Aroma. High intensity; prominent fermented white grape character with notes of green apple and citrus; balanced by complex Brettanomyces funk including hay, horse blanket, and light goatish notes; subtle oak and aged hops.

Taste. Sharp, clean lactic sourness initially; flavors of tart white grape, lemon, and a distinctive mineral quality; low hop bitterness; high complexity with wood tannins and rustic funk; bone-dry, crisp finish with a lingering vinous aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body; high carbonation providing a lively, sparkling mouthfeel; puckering tartness without harsh astringency; very low alcohol warmth.
