That looks really really good - thanks for sharing, and for giving me another one to add to my ever growing list!

I can't believe it I have these two in the fridge, I swapped them for two bottles of Youngs Harvest Pilsner. On the strength of this post and the fact that I'm not up in the morning I think I'll have them now. SWMBO's been asking about them lurking in the back of the fridge for so long.

I would love to have a go at a traditional Lambic. I know it wouldn't have the right wild yeast, but more importantly I can't wait 6 weeks for a beer to be ready, let alone a couple of years!!

They're exotic and peach flavour and they taste like flat fermented fruit juice and tea. I've read up on Lambic Brewing and although it's very old it's why brewing progressed to using cultured yeasts instead of wild yeast and then started the secondary fermentation process to generate carbonation. Now here's the rub, SWMBO loved them and mixed them into one glass and swanned off to watch Strictly, so everything I said is complete bo***x and I don't know what I'm talking about. Wives and brewing a match in Heaven.

Here's something else that might have attracted her - isn't chapeau French for hat?!!!
