"Socoron (or Socouran) is the name used to designate 6 row winter barley in Wallonian dialect and translates as "Escourgeon" in French. It is one of our traditional saison. It’s brewed with malted and raw local 6 row winter barley. This grain is more challenging to work with and has a much lower yield which explains its rarity in modern beer. However, the challenges it creates are worth facing to get its deep rustic profile with earthy and bready notes. A traditional farmhouse yeast strain combining high attenuation and a complex fermentation profile that displays white spices, lemon, grappes and grassy herbal notes. An authentic farmhouse beer, Brewed in our 800 years old farm."

Au détail : 80% de saisons bien céréalières ensemencées avec différentes souches de levures "fermières" se marient harmonieusement à 20% de bière acide de fermentation mixte.

They fermented in small Islay whisky barrels, imparting aromas of maritime peat.

"The Gueuze Tilquin à l’ancienne (7.0% alc / vol) is a spontaneous fermentation beer obtained from the blending of 1, 2 and 3 years old lambics. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it is re-fermented in the bottle for a minimum period of 6 months. The lambics used were fermented and matured in our own oak barrels at the blendery. They are made from worts brewed by Boon, Lindemans, Girardin and Cantillon. The taste is tart and dry but has a certain roundness that makes this Gueuze à l’ancienne particularly accessible for non-experts. It will also delight fans of the genre for its sweet complexity. It also has a slight dry bitterness because of the youth of the oak barrels used, as they still release some tannins. It has a fresh lemony nose."
