Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Sang Bleu
◎ Appearance
Deep blood-red hue, translucent and bright, revealing the wine-like clarity characteristic of a well-balanced fruit lambic. Fine carbonation produces a delicate, ephemeral white head with modest lacing that traces the glass. The colour derives directly from the honeyberry addition, presenting a striking visual marker of this fruit-forward blend.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with bright honeyberry and mixed red-fruit notes, supported by the subtle stone-fruit aromatics typical of Cantillon's aged lambic base. Mild acidity carries the fruit forward without aggression, while faint herbal and hay undertones suggest the wild yeast character. No harsh fermentation notes; instead a cohesive, fruit-driven profile that invites the glass.
◐ Taste
Entry is soft and fruity, with pronounced berry sweetness balanced immediately by sharp, clean acidity. Mid-palate develops a gentle astringency from the honeyberry's natural tannins, holding the fruit in check without becoming harsh. The finish remains dry and tart, the interplay of sweetness, acid, and slight grip creating a dynamic, compelling palate that rewards attention.
◑ Finish
Medium finish with a lingering tartness and subtle dry grip that fades cleanly. The honeyberry's characteristic acidity leaves a refreshing aftertaste without any cloying residue.
