COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Quetsche Tilquin à l’ancienne (6.4% alc / vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the fermentation of destoned fresh purple plums (Quetsche véritable d’Alsace, close to the Damson) in a blend of 1 and 2 years old lambics for a period of 4 months. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it is re-fermented in the bottle for a minimum period of 3 months. The lambics used were fermented and matured in our own oak barrels at the blendery. They are made from worts brewed by Boon, Lindemans, Girardin and Cantillon. The taste is slightly tart but also fruity and round which makes this Quetsche à l’ancienne may be more accessible for non-experts or less sophisticated palates. It also has a slight dryness from the skin of the plums. The nose perceives a plum brandy perfume.
First batch (2012) with a BB date of 23/02/2022 was made with ’Prune de Namur’ and limited to 500 bottles.
Second batch (2013) limited to 5000 * 75cl and 10000 * 37,5cl was made with ’Quetsche véritable d’Alsace’.

UPDATED: MAR 4, 2024 Semmi hab, félbarna szín. Savanykás, szilvás, leheletnyit animális illat. Savanyú, szilvás, kissé animális és fehérboros ízek. Könnyű, közepesen szénsavas, csak leheletnyit kesernyés. Finom, jó arányokkal rendelkező sör.

UPDATED: JAN 6, 2024 Bottle for Aaron, thanks Stefan! Muddy rhubarb color. Nose is herbal tea, sour prunes, shandy. Taste is front heavy sour, but then fruity dry. A tad too harsh, and too sour, could be more balanced. But definately had worse.

UPDATED: DEC 30, 2023 Bottle pour at Beerselection. A szilva a hatterben marad, ahogy arra szamitani is lehetett, de a vibralo, kellemes savassag, a komplex brett karakter es a fas jegyek elviszik a hatukon igy is kenyelmesen

UPDATED: AUG 5, 2023 GBBF 23. Muddy pink purple orange colour. Quite a funky smell. Taste much smoother, tart, sweet fruit. Complex and yet easy drinking.

UPDATED: JUN 20, 2023 Bottle from Systembolaget. Thanks Mum for getting me this. Interesting lambic aroma filled with prune, strawberry milkshake. Deep orange colour but loaded with sediment. Delicious with light prune touch. Otherwise just the face pucking beauty of a lambic!
