Ashanti Lambic

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a thin, persistent white head. Fine carbonation rises steadily through the glass, leaving delicate lacing on the walls. The beer presents a bright, inviting aspect typical of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with assertive peppery spice from the Ashanti pepper, cutting through the characteristic funky, earthy baseline of aged Lambic. Beneath lies subtle herbal complexity and a gentle sourness, with faint notes of dried fruit and noble hops. The pepper dominates without overwhelming the underlying wild yeast character.

◐ Taste

Entry is dry and peppery, with immediate spice across the palate building slightly toward the mid-palate. Sourness and funk develop gradually, creating a tart, slightly astringent body. The finish is bone-dry with lingering pepper heat and gentle herbal notes, balanced by subtle stone fruit undertones from the fermentation.

◑ Finish

Long and warming, with peppery spice fading slowly into a dry, herbal afterglow. The aftertaste remains clean and slightly peppery, without harshness.
