The sixth bottle in this package is a collaboration with a beautiful region in France, Beaujolais. To do this, we destemmed whole Gamay grapes from Alex Foillard and briefly macerated them in an oak barrel with three-year-old lambik. We then added some young lambik before bottling. The weighted average age is over 12 months and the final fruit intensity is 384 grams per liter. All grains used in the seven different lambikken used come from the Pajottenland. This small batch of Gamay (523 bottles) is one of three techniques we applied to the same harvest of grapes we received from Alex. The other two will be -if the bottle conditioning - released in 2025.

Under a soft white head that quickly recedes to a unevenly bubbly mat, a fairly clear ruby body darkness and fogs up a bit at fill pour.
A surprisingly funky barnyard nose gives way to a prickly, zesty palate that nears cherry with its dark red grape that emulates touches of krieky spice like cinnamon marzipan, though much more subtly here.
Really complex and saliva inducing, touches of lemon meringue pie with blackberry compote make my jaw twinge, yet it doesn't feel that acidic on the tongue. Over time, it does become a little sharper.
