Oude Myrtille Sauvage Tilquin à l'ancienne

◎ Appearance

The beer presents a pale straw to light golden hue, characteristic of young lambic blends. Clarity is good with minimal haze, allowing light to pass through cleanly. The head is modest but stable, with fine carbonation evident in a gentle stream of bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by tart, wild blueberry aromatics—both fresh and slightly jammy in character. Beneath the fruit lies the classic lambic signature of funky, earthy undertones with subtle vinous notes from the aged lambic component. There is no hop aroma to speak of, allowing the fruit and wild yeast character to command the bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and immediately tart, with concentrated blueberry flavor building across the palate. The blend of young and aged lambics creates a complex mid-palate: bright fruit acidity mingles with dry, slightly funky undertones and hints of stone fruit. Bitterness is minimal, allowing the natural tartness and subtle dryness of the fermentation to define the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with blueberry tartness gradually giving way to earthy, funky notes. Acidity persists pleasantly on the palate without becoming harsh.
