Gueuzerie Tilquin
Belgium·Fruit Lambic
Tap to rate

Fresh or frozen blackberries ferment in young lambics, which are then blended with one-, two- and three-year-old lambic until the beer holds 260 to 300 g of fruit per litre. Tart, with blackberry fruitiness, it is a spontaneously fermented fruit lambic at 6.0 %, blended at Gueuzerie Tilquin in Bierghes, Wallonia's only gueuzerie.

◌ Aroma

Blackberry dominates the nose with tart, jammy notes layered beneath bright fruit esters. Subtle vinous complexity emerges from the aged lambic component, accompanied by gentle funky undertones from the wild yeast fermentation. Lactic acidity adds a refreshing, almost cider-like character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with concentrated blackberry fruit balanced against crisp acidity that builds through the mid-palate. Tannins from the fruit skin contribute mild structure without harshness. The low bitterness allows pure fruit character to shine, with a dry, cleansing quality that invites another sip.
