History / Other Notes
The original batch of Reine des Prés bottled in 2015 has not been released for sale publicly due in part to the meadowsweet being extremely strong. This batch was bottled for a restaurant in Brussels called Bouchéry as a food pairing lambic.
Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) has been traditionally used in various stews, wines, beers, meads, vinegars, and other beverages due to its pleasant, somewhat sweet taste. The plant (or various parts of it) have also been used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments and contains chemicals used to make aspirin.
