Brouwerij Oud Beersel Bzart Lambiek Millésime (2012) Lambic – Gueuze at 7.4% ABV (C$33.71 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 750 ml, packaged on 1-Nov-2014, best before 30-Nov-2020, acquired 31-Jul-2015, reviewed 30-Jun-2018)
Appearance: clear pale amber with two fingers of loose white head diminishing gradually to a persistent cap, spotty lacing. (4/5) Aroma: cherry, stone fruit, lemon zest, wood, grainy malt, earthy funk. (9/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate tart, low bitter. (9/10) Palate: medium-light body, prickly carbonation, dry mild tart finish. (4/5)
Complex and interesting, with loads of fruit flavour and funk. The cherry flavour, in particular, makes it hard to believe there’s no fruit added to this. An excellent example of the style, champagne-like and lively. (17/20)
