Hanssens Oudbeitje

Style: Strawberry Lambic
Hanssens Artisanaal, Dworp, Belgium

"The strawberries announce themselves in the nose, where they mingle with aromas of earth, sharp cheddar cheese, vanilla, yogurt, and a Riesling-like petrol note. The flavors turn out to be surprising - gentle sweetness quickly followed by fine acidity, and a wonderful fruitiness right through the center."
Garrett Oliver, The Brewmaster's Table, p. 77-78
