Hommage

◎ Appearance

Deep ruby red with a translucent, garnet-like glow when held to light. The unfiltered character yields a subtle haze throughout the body, and a delicate white head forms with restrained persistence, leaving fine lacing on the glass as it recedes.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with an intense forest-fruit bouquet dominated by ripe raspberry and dark cherry. Underlying this are soft herbal notes and a gentle musty complexity from months of traditional lambic fermentation, with a whisper of honey sweetness that adds roundness without cloying.

◐ Taste

The palate arrives full and structured, balancing bright berry acidity against the beer's body. Tart and sour notes dominate the mid-palate, with distinct dark-cherry and raspberry character, while a subtle honey note provides counterpoint. The finish dries considerably, leaving the fruit character to linger without residual sweetness.

◑ Finish

Clean and lingering, with the fruit acidity fading to a gentle funky undertone. The aftertaste remains bright and dry, allowing the complexity of the traditional fermentation to emerge as the initial fruit character subsides.
