Mort Subite – Lambic

November 17, 2020 – 8:18 am 6 Comments

When you are in Belgium you have to try their lambic beer.  Love it or not, this is a beer you must not miss.  Sad to say, I still have not loved this beer as much as i do.  Now Lambic beer is a very distintive type of beer brewed only in Pajottenland, Belgium.  Instead of using brewer’s yeasts, they use spontaneous fermentation which means that the wild yeast and bacteria will be its yeast.

The most distinctive taste is the sourish taste. It should be best with desert I guess.  To me it may serve like a desert wine.  So back to the Mort Subite I bought in Belgium.

Pouring

I bought it from a beer shop and manage to get only a small glass…

Smell

A sourish smell with a hint of berries

 

Taste: It starts off slightly sweet and malty with some hoppiness, then finishes with sour raspberries. Great champagne like carbonation.

The one thing about lambics is that almost everyone likes them. Even though they are heavily hoped, generally, they are not bitter. They tend to be sweet and sour with fruit flavours. Even Gueuze, which is an aged lambic sans the fruit, is very drinkable. The refreshing quality comes from the balance of sweet and sour in the beer.

Taste

 Surprisingly you can still note the hops in it but it ends up being sourish.  But the bubbles or carbonation was really good

Design

I think it looks more like a wine bottle.  People in the lambic beer business must do something about this design
