OWA Brewery Azuki Lambic (2021)
Fruit Lambic 5.5 º
This 2021 vintage Fruit Lambic presents an intriguing bridge between Belgian tradition and Japanese ingredients. The wild fermentation delivers a bright, lactic acidity and signature funk, while the infusion of Azuki beans adds a unique, earthy richness and a subtle nutty undertone. The wooden barrel aging provides a structured backdrop of mild tannins and dried hay. Expect a delicate interplay between the sharp, lemony tartness of the base Lambic and the savory, red-bean depth that rounds out the dry finish. It is a complex, medium-light bodied ale that balances farmhouse rusticity with a refined, botanical accent.
Appearance. Deep amber to copper with a soft reddish-mahogany hue (12-16 SRM). Pours with a thin, light-tan head that exhibits moderate retention before receding to a fine ring; clarity is slightly hazy due to the bean proteins and lack of filtration.
Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by sharp lactic tartness and characteristic Brettanomyces funk, including notes of horse blanket and wet hay. The Azuki influence manifests as a distinct earthy, sweet-bean fragrance reminiscent of red bean paste, mingling with aged hop cheesiness and a faint woody note from the wooden barrel.
Taste. Sharply acidic and puckering initial impression, followed by a savory mid-palate of cooked beans and light toasted malt. The fermentation character is complex, offering notes of lemon, rhubarb, and earthy funk. The Azuki provides a round, slightly sweet counterpoint to the otherwise bone-dry, high-acid finish. Bitterness is virtually non-existent, allowing the sourness to provide the primary balance.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a perceptible roundness from the beans. Carbonation is moderate to low, typical of an aged, traditionally-matured Lambic. There is a noticeable mouth-watering acidity and a slight tannic astringency from the barrel and bean skins, but no significant alcohol warmth.
