Tilquin oude Gueuze 75cl

Style and Colour: Lambic Gueuze.

Taste: Its taste is dry and acidic but has a certain roundness that makes this Gueuze particularly accessible to the uninitiated. It will also delight lovers of the genre by its sweet complexity. It also has a slight dry bitterness due to the youthfulness of the oak barrels used, which still release some tannins. It has a fresh, lemony nose.

Alcohol: 7 % ABV

Drinking Temperature: 12° C  

Fermentation: Beer of spontaneous fermentation resulting from the assembly of 1, 2 and 3 year old lambics. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it is refermented in the bottle for a minimum of 6 months.

The Brewery: Located in Bierghes (Rebecq), in the Senne valley, the Gueuzerie Tilquin is the only gueuzerie in Wallonia. Founded in 2009 by Pierre Tilquin.
