Oude Lambik
(has 3 batches)

On tap at Novare Res Bier café after the yearly Zwanze release. This is 2 years old. (really needs to be older) Poured a clear golden body with a small ring of lacing from nearly no head. Aroma is funk with Vinegar type sharpness. Rotten wood. Real acidic. This really needs to sit for much more time. With an unblended this was WAY too young for me. Funk, vinegar and moldy basement isn’t something I’m going to reach for. This was only my 2nd unblended. I love Iris however, that was a 5 year old bottle. This would need to be about that old or older to try again.

Golden burnt orange. Huge horse blanket nose. Citrus and lemons and very grassy Moldy and intense. Living the apple cider vinegar wet grass and pears. Totally still and very refreshing.

sampled at the brewery. almost 1 year old ( last winter produced, had in october.. ) no foam, carbo ( as it should be) , dry, very dry. sour but very soft-sour. little aftertaste. starting to see a common - cantillon - taste wich is in all their beers, as well as in this one. nice probably, but im (still? ) not a fan of pure lambik that much as others seem to be

Keg at CPK, London. Two-year old version. Pours clear gold, no head. Good tangy nose, hints of butter, bread, grass. Light sweet with some sturdy sourness, light apples, grass, light tangy fruits. Light bodied with very, very fine carbonation- it’s almost flat. Very clean, tangy finish, some mild tart berries, light grassy hops. It’s a tasty well nuanced beer. I actually don’t get much the distinctive, grassy/earthy Cantillon character, but it’s still good stuff.

As a taster at the brewery. Has a hazy amber colour with no head. Aromas of vinegar, spices, berries, something sweet and fruity, wood, some leather and cloudberries. Pretty sour berries in the flavour along with wood, something floral and dandelion. Flatt and slick mouthfeel, and a very light bitterness. A different lambic experience, and feels both sour and spicy when pretty young.

1 year old. Tap @ Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Hazy golden with a lasting white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, woody and light barnyard. Flavor is medium sweet and rather acidic. Very dry and rather acidic finish. 170712

Keg at Craft and scoop thanks to Jason. Light haze on this gold beer. Light semi dry palate. Pleasant light sourness - citrus and a dash of white wine vinegar. Smooth and tasty. Was surprised how much I enjoyed this.

Very little cloudy amber orange beer, no head. Aroma: little chemical, pain, hay, barnyard. MF: no carbon, medium body. Taste: very chemical, bitter, dry, unpleasant. This is really bad. Aftertaste: little sour touch, chemical bitterness, paint. Just bad. A shame.
