For this Oude Druivenlambik, we macerated Sylvaner grapes
on young and two-year old lambik for more than five months before maturing the grape lambik for more than a year on oak. The grapes originate from a small biodynamic wine maker from Rheinland, Germany. All cereals are sourced in
Pajottenland. The lambikken originate from seven different barrels and ten different brews. The final fruit intensity is 334 grams of sylvaner grapes per litre of Oude Druivenlambik.

Draft pour at Zwanze Day 2026, at The Sovereign in Washington DC. Poured a clear orange color with a medium sized fizzy white head. Plenty of vinous grapes. Tart, but not overly sour. I suppose not overly sour compared to other 3F beers. Not boozy at all, perhaps not delicate, but I didn't realize what the alcohol content was in this thing until after I had already finished it.

Smell of vinegar, white grape, dessert wine. Clear golden/apple juice colour, no head. Aroma of vinegar, raw berries, grapes, some ice wine flavours. No carbon. Very sour, finishes medium sweet. Dry palate.

Draught Utterly clear, still, metallic golden beer, headless. Leather, leatherpolish, dried grapes as in Eiswein, cognac sour. Dried grapes, Botrytis, again Eiswein-like. Very little real acidity, but really dry. Sultanas with half the sugars dissolved in fruitacids. Very slick, oily, almost sticky despite all the drying acids. People told me the alcohol is hidden. Not really, it betrays its force in various ways. But as how they did this, I'm bewildered. Just superb.

Grape must and lees, restrained funk. Dry white vinous character. Nice finish. 110 for a full pour is very fair.
