Appearance

Pale golden yellow with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. A delicate, persistent head forms and clings to the glass in fine, lacy patterns. The visual presentation is refined and inviting, befitting a prestige blend.

pale goldcrystal clearfine lacingeffervescent

Aroma

The nose opens with soft stone fruit and subtle berry character, immediately followed by pronounced oak and woody notes from the aged lambic base. A complex backdrop of funky, musty yeast character emerges alongside gentle hints of vanilla and clove spice, creating a multi-layered and sophisticated bouquet.

Taste

Bright, integrated acidity frames the palate with a mildly sour entry that is never harsh. Mid-palate reveals layered complexity: berry fruit mingles with barrel-derived vanilla and clove warmth, while an undercurrent of earthy, funky character adds intrigue. The dry finish builds steadily without aggressive bitterness.

Finish

Long and contemplative, with the sour character fading gracefully into a dry, spiced aftertaste. Oak, vanilla, and subtle berry notes linger pleasantly without fatigue.
