Tommie Sjef Bitter 2022 Lambic/Geuze - 75 CL

Bitter is a blend of a saison and mature beer from older barrels. The saison is made with a generous amount of hops. The resulting bitterness matches well with the complexity of the older beer, which has been aged in oak barrels for 2.5 to 4 years. On the nose you'll find vanilla, dusty cellar and some funk, but also a floral quality — think lavender and chamomile. The more yeasty character of the saison, with a hint of black pepper, complements the more mature and funky characteristics of the older part of the blend. In terms of taste you will find lemon zest, wood and interesting herbal notes such as sage and tarragon. The bright acidity of the wild beer and the strong bitterness of the saison make this a refreshing yet complex beer. The aftertaste ends dry, with hints of aromatic apples, like a good calvados.
