Mûre Tilquin – Draft Version

Gueuzerie Tilquin
Belgium·Fruit Lambic
Tap to rate

Berry fruit with a slightly wild edge, and sour. This is the lighter version of the Oude Mûre: the same recipe with 260 g of frozen blackberries per litre, but a blend of half Meerts and half one- and two-year-old lambics holds the strength at 4.8 %. Spontaneously fermented and blended at Gueuzerie Tilquin in Bierghes.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Mûre Tilquin – Draft Version

◎ Appearance

Deep ruby to garnet red, clear and bright with minimal haze. Fine carbonation produces a thin, delicate head with modest lacing that gradually subsides. The colour reflects the concentration of blackberry fruit without the density of the full-strength Oude Mûre.

◌ Aroma

Ripe blackberry dominates the nose, joined by earthy, funky notes characteristic of spontaneous fermentation and aged lambic. Subtle tart acidity underpins the fruit, with hints of leather and dried stone fruit. No hop aroma is perceptible; the profile remains fruit-forward and wild.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and tart, with concentrated blackberry flavour spreading across the palate. Mid-palate develops a dry, slightly funky character from the blend of one- and two-year-old lambics, balanced by the fruit's natural sweetness. Bitterness is restrained and refined, allowing the berry and vinous notes to persist without harshness.

◑ Finish

Dry and lingering, with blackberry and earthy complexity fading gradually into a subtle tart aftertaste. The lightness of body (4.8 % ABV) prevents heaviness, leaving the palate refreshed and wanting another sip.
