This Fruit Lambic presents a sophisticated fusion of spontaneous fermentation and sun-drenched stone fruit. The profile is anchored by a deep, overripe peach character, the result of the fruit resting on the wood-aged Watergeus base for up to eighteen months. The aroma is a complex tapestry of barnyard funk, wet hay, and aged leather, seamlessly integrated with the floral and slightly jammy essence of fermented peaches. On the palate, a sharp, refreshing lactic acidity cuts through the rustic, earthy wheat malt, leading to a bone-dry finish. Subtle oak tannins from the wood-aging provide structural depth, while the vibrant carbonation highlights the interplay between tart fruit and the wild, funky soul of the blend.
Appearance.Deep golden-orange with a slight haze; features a thick, white, mousse-like head with moderate retention and fine lacing.
Aroma.High intensity; dominant fermented peach and apricot aromas blend with classic Gueuze funk, including barnyard, damp hay, and goatish leather. Subtle oak-derived notes and a sharp lactic tartness are present, with no hop aroma.
Taste.Initial impression of sharp, puckering acidity followed by rich, overripe peach flavors. The mid-palate reveals earthy wheat and aged wood tannins. Bitterness is nearly imperceptible, with the sourness providing the primary balance. The finish is bone-dry and lingering, with a clean, acidic snap and a hint of stone fruit skin.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a sparkling, effervescent carbonation. High tartness creates a mouth-watering, puckering sensation without being harshly astringent. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
