Rating: 3.5 (7 reviews)

Brouwerij Kestemont Rabarber is a vibrant, artisanal Lambic that beautifully bridges Pajottenland tradition with the sharp, garden-fresh character of organic rhubarb. Utilizing a base of at least one-year-old Lambic brewed with Pilsner malt and unmalted wheat, the addition of three hundred grams of rhubarb per liter creates a sensory experience reminiscent of a rustic rhubarb pie. The four-month cask fermentation allows the red stems to meld with the wild yeast, resulting in a complex interplay of earthy, barnyard funk and bright, lactic acidity. It presents a sophisticated sweet-sour profile, balancing the fruit's natural tartness against the deep, funky soul of aged wild ale.

Appearance. Presents a hazy, golden-amber hue with distinct salmon or pink highlights from the red rhubarb stems; the white head is thin with poor retention, typical of the style.

Aroma. High intensity with a dominant sharp, fruity tartness of rhubarb and green apple; complex funk follows with notes of hay, wet straw, and a light barnyard earthiness over subtle bready malt.

Taste. Initial impression is a bracing, clean lactic sourness followed by the vegetal sweetness and piquant tang of fresh rhubarb. The palate is supported by low grainy malt flavors, while aged hop bitterness remains below the sensory threshold. The finish is bone-dry and refreshingly acidic, with lingering notes of fruit skin and funky yeast.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a high, puckering tartness that is sharp but not astringent; carbonation is moderate, providing a lively prickle that accentuates the dry finish.

"Rhubarb has been so ubiquitous for so long in the low countries that you would forget it originates from the Asian steppes. Delicious in a scrumptious pie or compote, we think it pairs nicely with our lambic. The sweet and sour of the red stems, grown organically by ourselves, are chopped up unevenly and added as such to the lambic of at least one year old. Together they ferment on casks for about four more months, resulting in a sweet sour beer containing roughly 300 grams of rhubarb per liter of beer. A lovely trip down memory lane having rhubarb pie with grandma, straight in your glass."

Rabarber komt al zo lang in de lage landen voor dat je bijna zou vergeten dat die oorspronkelijk afkomstig is van de Aziatische steppen. Heerlijk in een goede vlaai of compote vonden wij dit een passende aanvulling voor onze lambik. De zoetzure rode stengels, volledig van eigen biologische kweek, worden grof versneden
