"Although its name suggests otherwise, the szechuan pepper is not a real pepper, but a distant cousin of the citrus fruit. For this beer, the red version was used, which has a slightly fruitier flavour than the green and provides a slight tingling effect on the aftertaste. Other than that, citrus aromas and a certain spiciness emerge. The refermentation in the bottle provides the necessary minerality and balance, so the presence of the szechuan pepper is not overwhelming."

"A real thirst quencher, Lambic with rhubarb! The fresh rhubarb comes from a local organic farm and macerates on the lambic for 3 to 4 months. The rhubarb dissolves in the lambic and all of the delicious juice of the rhubarb is incorporated in the lambic. The rhubarb lambic is then bottled and a re-fermentation takes place. The result is a pleasantly sour beer, in which the flavour of the rhubarb really shines through."

"To create the Roasted Oolong Tea Sparkling Infused Lambic, one-year-old Lambic was infused with roasted Oolong tea for about four weeks. This tea, especially popular in Asia, is slightly oxidised and was then roasted in the traditional way. This results in a rich flavour, with a certain spiciness and some toasted notes. Thanks to the re-fermentation in the bottle, these flavours blend into one harmonious whole."

"Oud Beersel’s Witte Lambiek Sparkling Infused Lambic takes its inspiration from traditional Belgian wheat beers: these are characterised by the addition of coriander seeds and bitter orange peel. The same thing was done here: both ingredients were macerated on one-year-old lambic for several weeks to obtain that typical, citrusy flavour, which is further highlighted thanks to the acidity of the lambic. The spiciness of the coriander is present in the aftertaste, but does not dominate. Thanks to the refermentation in the bottle, the result is a beautiful beer with traditional flavours, yet just that little bit different."

Lambic macerated with blueberries.

"Blend of young & old lambics, with wine from beetroot. The beets were carefully selected and harvested from our own field. This blend consists of wood aged beet lambic and beet pomace from maceration. Fermented, aged & bottled on the farm."

"Beer of spontaneous fermentation, the Old Quetsche Tilquin is made from the fermentation of 210g of purple plums by liter of lambic. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, this beer is refermented in the bottle."

Season 2021-2022. Assemblage n°57. Bottled on 31/03/2022. "For this Oude Geuze Platinum Blend, we blended lambikken originating from four different barrels and nine different brews. We used one- two- and four-year old lambikken, in a 27/30/43 proportion and finished the blend with some freshly brewed wort. This way, the weighted average age of this bottle, upon bottling, clocks at to more than 30 months. Add to that at least a full year of bottle conditioning, and it will have reached a weighted age of more than 42 months. Almost 40% of the blend consists of lambikken brewed with grains form our own Cereal Collective."

Gueuze made with a blend of easy-drinking lambics

Blend of lambics 1,2,3, 4, 5 & 6 YO lambics from Brouwerij Eylenbosch, Brouwerij Sako and Brouwerij Den Herberg macerated with apples and blueberries. Limited to 248 liters.

"We grow these raspberries ourselves and put them whole in a steel tank with lambik of at least one year old for about four to six months. A bit of younger lambik is added before bottling to referment in the bottle. We strive to have 350 grammes of raspberries per liter of beer."

"In the past Port wine was shipped to the harbours of Bruges and Antwerp on wooden barrels of 650 liters, called ‘pipes’ or ‘pijpen’ in Dutch. Some of these barrels were purchased by Lambic breweries and have contained Lambic for many generations. Some barrels have been circulating in other, some defunct, Lambic breweries before finding their final place in the barrel cellars of Oud Beersel. We have blended the finest Lambics of on average 20 months old matured on these ‘old pipes’ of between 60 and 120 years old, to create an Oude Geuze with the characteristics of these old barrels."

Magnum. "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."
