Lemon and peach lead the aroma, joined by dried apricot, white flowers and a distinctive thread of earthy peppercorn. The palate is light and highly effervescent, with Brettanomyces adding dry hay and gentle farmhouse funk rather than heaviness. A firm, spicy finish keeps the fruit bright and refreshing. Serve cool with roast chicken, grilled sausages, washed-rind cheese or Sichuan dishes that echo its peppery lift.

Bright gold with a fine, persistent head, this limited-edition Trappist blond opens with citrus, red apple, cardamom and coriander. Fruity freshness and spicy complexity meet on a lively palate, leading to a dry, subtly piquant finish. Serve cool with roast chicken, mussels, washed-rind cheese or herb-led dishes; the poised balance makes it equally appealing as a contemplative aperitif.

A complex blend of lambics from different years brings lively acidity and restrained fruit to a dry, persistent finish. Delicate wood notes reflect maturation in oak, while natural secondary fermentation gives the beer its measured sparkle. The character continues to evolve in bottle over time. Serve cool with aged cheese, mussels, roast poultry, charcuterie or mushroom 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.
