Ripe peach gives this fruit lambic a generous orchard-fruit character, balanced by a delicate line of traditional lambic tartness. The palate is bright, rounded and lightly sparkling, with the fruit remaining clear through the refreshing finish. Its balance leans gently sweet without losing acidity or lift. Serve well chilled as an aperitif, or pair with fresh goat cheese, glazed pork, fruit tarts, vanilla desserts or lightly spiced dishes.

Sour cherries meet mature lambic in a deeply traditional Belgian fruit beer. The producer uses a generous proportion of cherries, giving the palate vivid red-fruit acidity alongside subtle almond tones from the fruit and pits. Fruit leads when young, while lambic character becomes more prominent with bottle age. Serve cool with duck, charcuterie, washed-rind cheese, dark chocolate or cherry desserts.

Fresh raspberry gives the aroma a vivid red-fruit lift, set against the fragrant, gently earthy character of lambic. The palate is tart and finely structured rather than sweet, with bright berry flavour carried by lively acidity. Its fruit is most expressive when young; with time, the lambic’s deeper, more savoury character becomes increasingly prominent. Serve well chilled in a stemmed glass and allow it to warm slightly as the aromatic detail opens.

Sweet character accompanies the scent of ripe cherries, with strawberry, almond and a touch of spice. The official brewery presents those four details together in its fruit-beer description. The published profile records cherry as the principal scent and includes strawberry, almond and the documented spice note within the same Belgian release and its aromatic profile.

Raspberries and other red fruits appear in the fruity scent, accompanied by a woody touch. The official brewery describes a fruity flavour with a firm sour aftertaste and lists six per cent alcohol. It also confirms the addition of raspberries. The published details place red fruit, wood and pronounced sourness within the documented brown-ale profile.
