Vanberg & DeWulf LambickX De Troch

**Aroma:** “Aroma is a bit subdued overall but acidity up front with some subtle peach, apricot, and strawberry fruit following. Light pear, moderately strong pineapple, with a leathery, earthy, tobacco edge.” **Flavor:** “Fruity notes of peach and apricot, a touch of strawberry, some lemon zest, moderate tobacco and other earthy notes. Light, sharp, dry Brett horse/hay funk helps to dry the beer out in the finish. Slight acidic tartness in the middle, but finishes with an orange/ grapefruit-rind type bitterness. Carbon- ation is lower than most.” **Overall:** “Straightforward but well exe- cuted with a nice, approachable tartness and acidity. Could benefit from more body or higher carbonation to accentuate and support flavors. Great fruit notes through- out. Nothing was over the top, but the beer had good complexity among the fruit, sour, bitter, and sweet characters.”

“Deep pink pour. Brilliant citrus-hop nose with a soft honey note. Full body, with citrus-tropical hop juice shining all the way with a raspberry touch. Intriguing blend of hops and fruit. Pleasant acidity.”

“Green tobacco-like notes in the nose with hints of tar, wet hay, light fruit. Rustic and earthy with hints of smoke, leather, dried fruit, and a rich umami mushroom finish. Soft tartness lingers on the tongue as pineapple but blends well.”
