“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.

750ml wired cork bottle from Mikkeller webshop. Opened with a loud pop. Yellow gold colour, white foam head that dissipates away and aroma of citrus rind, funky. Taste is sour, lemon rind, fruity grains, nutty hint with barnyard funk and some drying tartness. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry soured finish. Very drinkable.

750ml from The Gull @ home shared with Alex and Ash. Appearance: nice a bit hazy straw color with a white head. Aroma: funky, somewhat fruity, with lots of barnyard notes. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: not sure where is walnuts in here, but it is definitely a nice and delicate Oude Gueuze, maybe with more tanins coming from the nuts.

Vintage 2016. Bottle from the VI Warsaw Beer Festiwal almost three years ago. The last bottle on this Festival. Lambic z mocno musujacym efektem, piany jest sporo, nawet wiecej niz wirusow w Chinach, do tego trwala ze monety mozna na niej ukladac. Mocno metne, pod koniec tak metne i brudne ze barwa byla jak capucino z ekspresu. Doskonaly aromat zielonej salaty, rukoli, agrestu i tych kasztanow wlasnie, tak to mi sie kojarzylo z dziecinstwa, gdy chodzilem do szkoly przy drodze roslo drzewo z ktorego spadaly kasztany w zielonej skorce, lekko pekaly, nie wszystkie i kiedy podnioslem i powachalem wlasnie taki zapach czulem. Co do smaku to jest mega kwasno, nawet porzadnie chmielno, (jak na Lambic to zadki przypadek) wytrawne klimaty, zielony kwasny i nie dojrzaly agrest,, biale winogrona i wytrawne biale wino. doskonaly lambic, nieco inny, ale jak ze przez to ciekawy. polecam zwlaszcza do sera Roquefort. po prostu bajka...z kasztanowymi drzewami... Bezcenne chwile.

Bottle: Poured a golden color lambic with a nice large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of funky ester with some green apple notes and oak is quite pleasant. Taste is a good mix of funky ester with some green apple notes, some oak, very subtle acidic notes with some light barnyard notes also noticeable. Body is about average with some lively carbonation. Super enjoyable with perfect mix of complexity and drinkability but I can’t say that walnut are easily identifiable in the flavours.
