Raspberry lambiic.

Season 2023-2024 Assemblage #68. bottled on 26/09/2024. "For this Oude Geuze, we blended lambikken from three different brewers, six different brews and four different barrels. The ages the lambikken that we used for this blend range from young to more than four year old, accounting for almost 40% of the blend. The weighted average age of this blend at bottling is more than 28 months. Half of the lambikken were brewed by us and were fully crafted with local Pajottenland cereals. "

"An Imperial soda sour that’s bigger, bolder and just what the Doctor ordered! Big Fizzician combines sweet, dark, and sour cherries with creamy vanilla, hints of caramel and subtle spicy undertones."

"If the mere sight of this beer’s name doesn’t have you singing, then a few sips definitely will. That’s right, you can’t escape the flavour of our Pina Colada sour. Made with all the trademarks of the classic cocktail, we’ve blended juicy pineapple puree with rich coconut to create that tropical taste you’re looking for."

"Our latest creation combines our favourite fruits with our favourite breakfast to make a beer that's stacked with flavour. You'll find blackberries, rhubarb, strawberries, apples, and raspberries sat beautifully against flavours of maple and vanilla, creating a soft, creamy mouthfeel. This fresh fruit medley sings in perfect harmony through every sip of this delicately sour, breakfast-esque smoothie beer."

"Get your fix of fruity fluff… This tropical dessert sour showcases a vibrant blend of Alphonso mango, juicy pineapple and tart passion fruit among cloud-like layers of marshmallow fluff whipped up in-house and added directly to our tanks, infusing irresistible sweetness and a silky-smooth mouthfeel."

"Bursting with juicy pineapple and zesty grapefruit, inspired by a totally tropical refreshment. Bright, tangy and packed with sun-soaked citrus, this one’s light, crushable and full of that holiday-in-a-can energy"

"Combining sweet, fruity flavours with a tangy cola twist. Ruby Kola is a bold, refreshing take on a Scottish classic. Bursting with juicy strawberries, rich blackcurrants, and a zesty citrus kick, this vibrant sour is packed with nostalgic flavour and a fizzy hit of tart sweetness."

"Triple Fruited Mango at 4.8% packs a punch! Our best-selling sour since its inception in 2022 is getting a revamp, and this sessionable new ABV brings our mango sour in line with our other core range offerings like Strawberry Sundae and Cloudy Lemonade. Juicy, fresh and rich - this tropical adventure serves a triple helping of alphonso mango, paired with our mouth-watering mixed fermentation base beer."

"Take a trip down memory lane with our latest series of Sweet Shop Sours. We’ve given this nostalgic treat a Vault City twist. Jammy raspberries bring a vibrant fruitiness, perfectly balanced by creamy white chocolate and a sprinkle of sweetness. This timeless classic will always hit the sour spot."

"Packed with vibrant lime and lemon zest with a splash of fresh lime juice, Zest is crisp, sharp, and refreshingly tart, bringing a nostalgic nod to a classic lemon-lime soda. Light, juicy, and seriously thirst-quenching—because when it comes to citrus sours, Zest is Best!"

"Oranje is a bière de coupage with a touch of bitter oranges and rosemary. It’s a blend of a few of our older wild ales (aged 3 years in oak barrels) and a rustic saison to bring freshness and structure to the beer. We macerated a small amount of bitter orange peel and rosemary with the beer — just enough to add a gentle citrus aroma and subtle herbal notes, without overpowering the base."

Sour beer with orange, vanilla and cardamom

"A well thought-out blend of the finest spontaneously fermented lambics of different ages, 100% matured in oak barrels with refermentation in the bottle." This makes a much smoother and less acidic gueuze

One of the first bottlings of the Oude Kriek with Schaerbeekse sour cherries. The beer is tasting amazing right now, very fruity and acidity is tamed.

"A lambic blend containing 1, 2 and 3 year old lambic from 5 different breweries. On our search for the best fruit, we went to the Elzas region for fully ripe mirabelle plums. The region of Lorraine is famous for it, which is why we decided to buy handpicked biologically grown fruit from there. After a semi-carbonic maceration of 2 months, we added the 1 to 3 year old lambic to the fruit. After refermentation was done, we took the mirabelle lambic, backblended with some more young lambic and bottle the final blend pure without any additions."

Pack Containing 2 bottles from Pellicle: 50/50/50/ ("This cider captures exactly how we wanted our cider to taste from the cider. This blend contains 50% of our favorite apple variety: Pomme d'Or, giving backbone and astringency to final result. The other 50% contains 50% of cider aged in old Calvados barrels and 50% cider aged in old Marsala barrels. The latter two ciders add complex vinous notes, while also giving the balance this cider deserves. Who chose to make this cider slightly sparkling, to fully highlight its layers.") and Spiced Fenugreek ("A lambic blend containing 1, 2 and 3 year old lambic from 4 different breweries. During our holiday last year in the south of France, we took home some of the best apricots and peaches we ever came across. After macerating them on the different lambics, we aged the beer for a couple more months. A few days prior to botteling we added fenugreek herb to it. This herb imparts a specific herbal and curry-like character. Interestingly, fenugreek powder can be used to fight mildew in the vineyard.")

Pack Containing 2 bottles from Pellicle: Oxaal Kriek ("One of our earliest blends was a sparkling full rhubarb wine. For some reason we stopped making this type of wine. However we still had 2 barrels we made back in 2022. In the year after that we blended the wine with skins of our beloved Gorsem cherries. After 1 year of ageing, we decided to bottle it and leave them for another year. A sparkling fruit pet nat if you will, with aside from rhubarb and cherry, notes of roses, almond and cinammon.") and Mira d'Or Omija ("A lambic blend containing 1, 2 and 3 year old lambic from 5 different breweries. On our search for the best fruit, we went to the Elzas region for fully ripe mirabelle plums. The region of Lorraine is famous for it, which is why we decided to buy handpicked biologically grown fruit from there. After a semi-carbonic maceration of 2 months, we added the 1 to 3 year old lambic to the fruit. After refermentation was done, we took the mirabelle lambic, backblended with some more young lambic. To this particular blend we also added a lambic on which Omija or 5 flavor berry was macerated. As the name suggests, it gives the 5 base flavors we can perceive: sour, sweet, salty, bitter & umami. It has notes of rosehip, pepper and citrus.")

Pack Containing 2 bottles from Pellicle: Ultra Violet ("We are big red beetroot fans. We also realize it's a an acquired taste for some people. To make this blend as accessible as possible, we started by making a 100% red beetroot wine one year ago. We then went looking for the perfect barrels of cider to accompany this beetroot wine with it. The final result has a wicked red/purple color & a nice fizz. It boasts red beetroot, cassis and wine.") and Mira d'Or Vanilla ("A lambic blend containing 1, 2 and 3 year old lambic from 5 different breweries. On our search for the best fruit, we went to the Elzas region for fully ripe mirabelle plums. The region of Lorraine is famous for it, which is why we decided to buy handpicked biologically grown fruit from there.

To this particular blend we also added fresh vanilla beans. As Mexico is the country where vanilla originated from, we took some of the best and freshest vanilla beans home during our holiday on the Yucatàn peninsula last year.")

"This beer—created for the 25th birthday of Cantillon’s Quintessence—uses an ancient and typically Belgian technique called ‘coupage’: the blend of a sour beer with a young ale. The sour beer we used is 2-year-old Lambic from Cantillon. The result is a 6.2% abv amber beer, with an appealing tartness and a deep, complex vinous character."

"The next chapter of our bestselling Gelato series – a follow-up to White Choc Fragola! This time, we’ve packed our sweet-and-tangy brew with a huge dose of raspberries, topped off with a hint of white chocolate."

"Souvignier gris grapes from hageland, BE (2023) steeped in lambic"

"In the barn of Boerenerf, the lambics ripen in tune with the seasons. Since its construction in 1871, it has meant a great deal to the farm, and since 2021, the lambics for this unique Oude Geuze have been ripening here. We dedicate this bottle to the silent vigil in the peak of the roof. The quiet protector of heritage and nature."

"A harmonious blend of our traditional krieken lambic with a natural wine made from Muscat Bleu from Wijndomein Hoenshof. The Muscat grapes underwent a three-day cold maceration, followed by gentle pressing, spontaneous fermentation, and aging in cuve. The result is an elegant interplay of subtle spiciness and a vinous, fruity depth."

"This Gueuze has undergone an additional year of barrel aging in old oxidative Pineau des Charentes casks. This long oxidative process creates barrels with a unique complexity, where lambic finds its perfect home."

"The Gueuze Tilquin à l’ancienne (7.0% alc / vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the blending of 1, 2 and 3 years old lambics. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it is re-fermented in the bottle for a minimum period of 6 months. The lambics used were fermented and matured in our own oak barrels at the blendery. They are made from worts brewed by Boon, Lindemans, Girardin and Cantillon. The taste is tart and dry but has a certain roundness that makes this Gueuze à l’ancienne particularly accessible for non-experts. It will also delight fans of the genre for its sweet complexity. It also has a slight dry bitterness because of the youth of the oak barrels used, as they still release some tannins. It has a fresh lemony nose."

Heavily Fruited Sour with Raspberries and Vanilla

Heavily Fruited Sour with Mango and Vanilla

"Mixed Fermentation Golden Sour with Scottish Blackberries. Blended from four batches of golden sour beers all primary fermented with different Brettanomyces strains and brewed with locally grown malted barley, wheat and oats. This blend has an average age of four months and provides bright tropical, stone fruit and red berry aromatics. We conditioned this blended beer on 220g/l of locally grown Scottish blackberries (aka brambles). The resulting beer has an intense red/purple hue, and aromas of a tropical berry fruit medley. We get sweet/sour tangy, hedgerow berries, guava, jammy raspberries and some light tannin from the berry skins."
