Tilquin Experimental Fruit Series 6

← Gueuzerie Tilquin

During the 2022-23 lambic season, Gueuzerie Tilquin continued their series of experimental fruit lambics (served on draft only at festivals and special events) aiming to possibly turn some of the best batches into regular production lambics.

For series #6, 3 new variants were created.

Nèfle Tilquin

First produced for series Experimental Fruit #4, and then for EFS#5, another bottling was made here on April 5th, 2023, following the same process for a total of 61 bottles. As for EFS#5, the result was deemed unsatisfying for now, and it has remained unreleased so far.

Tilcoing

A new variant of lambic macerated on quince, different from the one created for EFS#2. In this version (called "Tilcoing" instead of "Coing Tilquin"), no Meerts was used, only 1 and 2-year-old lambic, where fruits were cut into pieces and added for maceration at 300g/L. Bottled April 4th, 2023.

Miel du Larzac Tilquin

Made from the fermentation of honey from Les Ruchers du Larzac (from the Larzac region in France) in a blend of 1, 2 and 3-year-old lambics. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, this beer was refermented in the bottle with again that same honey. 95 bottled of 75cl were filled, only available to drink onsite at the taproom of the blendery.

200 liter batch with 150 g of red currants and 150 g of rhubarb by liter of lambic.

Cerise Tilquin

200 liter batch with 150 g of sour morello cherries by liter of lambic. On a side-note, Pierre wasn't as happy with the cherries as with the Schaerbeek version, as it was displaying less almond and cinnamon in the beer.
