“Green Walnut” is a surprising and innovative Lambic beer of Oud Beersel. For the production of the Green Walnut real fruit is used, in the same way as for the Oude Kriek of Oud Beersel.
In July the still green walnuts are gathered in the Oud Beersel orchard and are added to the Lambic beer that matured in wooden wine barrels.
After the bottle fermentation this sparkling walnut Lambic of Oud Beersel is called Green Walnut, which is a strong companion for blue-veined cheese, dried ham and salads with nuts.
The green walnuts macerate in the Lambic beer enabling them to unfold their taste and flavour. The initial bitterness which is extracted from the walnuts is tempered during the ripening of the walnut Lambic. This results in a delicate balance between the light sourness of the Lambic beer and the bitterness of the green walnuts. The wooden wine barrels provide a subtle touch of red fruits to the beer.

Bouteille 75 partagée avec Tomaz. Anno 2015, BB 05.06.2019. Sous très forte pression dès ouverture. Couleur orange, col blanc épais qui s’estompe vite. Arôme offer un nez lambic finement boisé avec une petite impression de cave et cuir. Note verte voire fleurie et retro finement épicé. Palais est sec offrant un caractère plaisant de chêne et boisé, grains typique de lambic. Pointe verte, côté muscade épicé, léger citriuqe, dur de retrouver l’impact de la noix sur cette bière.

2015 bottle while waiting for 2016 to arrive. Clear golden colour with a small head that doesn’t last. Smells slightly burning car tire (in a nice way), sour, oak, wood, dusty cellar. Great smells. Tastes mostly sour and some oak. Hard to say more about it. Medium body, nice carbo.

Bottle courtesy of Linusb. Pours hazy deep golden with a small frothy offwhite head that leaves some sparse trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is tiny fruity and funky with sourdough crackers, lemon juice, grapefruit juice, hay, dry soil, leather, barnyard, cheese and lemon zest. Taste is sour, tiny malty, tiny fruity, funky and nutty. Mouthfeel is dry, tart, tiny oily and medium bodied. Finish is sour with crackers, caramel, grapefruit juice, walnut paste, hay, dry soil, leather, barnyard, horse blanket, minerals and lemon zest. Really cool! Sublime with nutty cheese.
