Aoltbeer Blend 2023-10 Mirabelles
Kemker Kultuur

"Aoltbeer is the historic beer of Munster. It matured on average for 15 months in red wine barrels. In this time the beer developed its fruity and wine-like character. In this small blend no. 10-2023 we harvested organic mirabelles from our orchard. Tastes acidulous, refreshing, and leaves a slightly jammy taste. Bottled Dec. 2022. 800 bottles. Best before 15-12-2032."

Poured from a 750ml bottle with a mirabelle (plum) on the label.

Slightly hazy sunburst golden with one finger of white head.

Nose is acidic with a stone fruit undercurrent. Interesting.

Mouthfeel is light-medium with limited carbonated influence.

Much like the 04-2022 blend, this beer is very lambic-esque. This version differs in that the mirabelles show up and contribute a certain subtle fruity sweetness to the base beer. Not that it could be identified as plums, mind you, but the sweetness is definitely there and, I believe, it adds another level of complexity and drinkability to the beer.

Very well done beer. Damn near perfect.
