Flint

Tap to rate

Peach and apricot lead the nose, with red wine barrel notes, a touch of lemon funk and a hint of black pepper; on the palate white wine grape and stone fruit melt into gentle oak and soft vanilla, finishing slightly earthy. A geuze-inspired blend of young and mature wild ales aged nine months to five years in oak, then given extra bottle rest so the acidity softened and the edges rounded.

◐ Taste

White wine grape and stone fruit notes melt into gentle oak and soft vanilla on the palate, creating a sophisticated mid-section. The sourness is restrained and refined rather than sharp, allowing the fruit and wood integration to shine. The overall impression is smooth and well-rounded, with acidity softened through careful bottle rest.

◑ Finish

The finish extends gently with lingering stone fruit and a faint earthiness that emerges as the palate settles. A slight dryness lingers pleasantly without becoming austere, complemented by a whisper of tart fruit that echoes the mid-palate.
