This specific Hommage macerated for 2.5 months. The final fruit intensity is 323 g/L, delivering rich, tart berry character. The beer is unfiltered, unpasteurized, and bottle-conditioned using traditional lambic methods, matured in oak, and intended to express natural fermentation and terroir of the Zenne Valley. This is a beautifully crafted, heavily fruited lambic in the Hommage tradition — a tart, deeply complex beer that's well-suited to long aging (with a best-before of 2039!). The “Oogst” 2019 version appears to focus even more on showcasing the harvest character of the raspberries and cherries, balanced by aged lambic's funk and acidity.
