This sophisticated fusion blends the sharp, floral elegance of Schneeeule Yasmin Berliner Weisse with the rustic depth of three aged lambics. On the nose, delicate jasmine blossoms intertwine with classic Gueuze funk, offering notes of aged leather, dried hay, and citrus rind. The palate is vibrantly tart yet balanced, where the perfume of jasmine meets a complex wild character of earthy funk and tart pome fruit. Effervescent and bone-dry, it concludes with a lingering, floral acidity. This collaboration showcases a masterfully integrated marriage of floral brightness and the soulful, farmyard complexity of traditionally matured lambic.
Appearance.Golden color (SRM 5-6) with brilliant clarity and a thick, rocky, mousse-like white head that demonstrates exceptional persistence. Highly effervescent with many rising bubbles.
Aroma.High intensity with a complex, balanced funkiness featuring notes of leather, hay, and horse blanket. A distinct floral perfume of jasmine is prominent, supported by moderate lactic sourness and fruity notes of lemon zest, green apple, and rhubarb. No hop aroma or diacetyl.
Taste.Sharply sour and funky, reflecting the aroma with layers of earthy farmyard character and dried hay. The floral jasmine provides a unique, elegant high note that persists through the palate. Very low grainy malt flavor. Bitterness is low to non-existent; the balance is driven by acidity. The finish is bone-dry and crisp with a lingering tartness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a soft, velvety texture. Carbonation is high and sparkling. Exhibits a noticeable puckering tartness but remains refreshing and lacks harsh astringency. Very low alcohol warmth.
